If you haven’t already, there is still time to pick up your tickets for the Saskatchewan Elks Children’s Charity Lotteries.

The main drawing will be taking place on June 13.

Tickets are not quite sold out as 1,000 for the $50 main draw tickets sold of the 4,000 that are available.

Meanwhile, tickets are still available for the 50/50 draw with a jackpot that is reaching $13,000 and growing. There are 62,000 50/50 tickets printed for a maximum jackpot of $130,000.

The Early Bird Prize was recently drawn with Andrea Guillaume of Moose Jaw winning $5,000.

Saskatchewan Elks provincial president Chris Svab said the funds from the lottery go towards helping children in Saskatchewan with hearing disabilities.

“They either get Cochlear implants or a decent set of hearing aids. When they first hear their mother’s voice, you see a lot of old guys like me with tears in their eyes when you see them begin to hear it. So that’s why we do it,” Svab said.

Harold Claffey is the draw chair. He said the children’s charity lotteries replaces three previous provincial lotteries put on by the Elks.

“What we are hoping to do is establish a lasting lottery like everyone does and keep it going for several years as our major fundraiser,” Claffey said.

Tickets for the Early Bird and Main Draws are $50 each and the 50/50 tickets are one for $10, four for $20 and 15 for $50

The grand prize for the main draw is the choice of a 2020 Ram 1500 Bighorn Crew Cab truck, a 2020 Ford F150 Supercrew truck, $50,000 cash or $1,000 per week for a year.

Second to sixth prizes are one-week all-inclusive trips for two to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, or $2,000 cash.

Seventh to ninth prizes are Blue Jays Ball Game tickets for two and a five-day bus tour or $1,500 cash.

Tenth to 12th prizes are fishing excursions at Jan Lake or $1,000 cash. The trip includes a four-night cabin rental and a motorboat package.
