Cash and Camping hoping for big push in ticket sales in final month

Jun 13, 2023 | 7:00 AM

This year’s Rotary Cash ad Camping Lottery has hit the final month of ticket sales, and organizers are hoping for a significant push in ticket sales in the final four weeks of the lottery.

Around 50 per cent of the tickets in this year’s lottery have been sold to date.

Organizers admit that it;s slightly behind previous years, and they remind the public that the more tickets that are sold, the greater the payouts they can provide to their partner not-for-profit groups.

Also this year, organizers have pledged $1.00 from every ticket sold will go to the Northwestern Alberta Emergency Recovery Fund, to help those affected by the wildfires this year.

Around $458,000 in prizes are up for grabs this year, along with the Summer Cash 50/50 jackpot, which is currently sitting at $159,000, with the winner getting half the final amount.

People will have a chance to get an up close look at some of the prizes this Saturday during the Rides for Rotary Car Show.

June 19 is the next early bird deadline, with tickets sold by then entered into a draw for a $12,000 Compass Mountain Adventure Package.

The final deadline to purchase tickets is July 5.

Tickets in this year’s Cash and Camping Lottery can be bought online at www.cashandcamping.com, by phone at 780-532-0506, or in person in the sales building in the Great Northern Casino parking lot.
