The 50/50 hospital lottery in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, has resumed its weekly draws following a two-year suspension related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The lottery, which supports fundraising efforts for the Sault Area Hospital, including its redevelopment and other priorities, had paused due to public health restrictions. According to the organizers, 50 percent of the ticket proceeds go directly to the hospital foundation, with the remaining half constituting the lottery prizes. Tickets are available for purchase both online and at local outlets to encourage participation among residents. This lottery represents an important source of financial support for the hospital’s ongoing projects and community health initiatives. The restart of these draws signals a step towards normal community fundraising activities in the region.
