Lethbridge STARS Lottery Home Won by Calgary Ticket Holder
LETHBRIDGE: The Stars Lottery announced the winners of its 3,200 prizes on Thursday morning.
While loot for the 22nd annual lottery was worth more than $5.6 Million, ticket sales netted $11.5 Million for the non-profit organization.
The Lottery’s 50-50 draw brought in a total of $3,100,000 alone, to be shared with the winner.
In late February, there had been concern from STARS officials that slow ticket sales due to the poor economy might mean the lottery would not sell out for the first time in its history. However, a plea to Albertans brought a flurry of sale activity and the lottery sold out just before its cut-off date.
