STARS LOTTERY celebrates 40 years of critical care with Alberta’s biggest charity lottery

CALGARY, January 16, 2025 – STARS LOTTERY Alberta is back with its largest ever prize pool in celebration of STARS’ 40th anniversary. From now until March 27, 2025, Albertans can buy their tickets for a chance to win thousands of prizes — including three grand prize dream homes — and be part of STARS’ mission to provide critical care, anywhere.

“For 40 meaningful years, STARS has been dedicated to providing critical care and hope on the worst day in someone’s life,” said Dr. John Froh, incoming president and CEO, STARS. “Every mission reflects our commitment to supporting critically injured patients when they need it most. The lottery is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and every ticket purchased ensures we can continue saving the lives of Albertans for years to come.”

STARS LOTTERY typically raises enough to fund the 24/7 operations of one of STARS’ three Alberta bases for an entire year. With 1,720 missions flown across Alberta last year alone, lottery ticket sales are vital to supporting patients in life-threatening circumstances.

This year is set to impress as Alberta’s largest charitable lottery with 4,000 prizes up for grabs, valued at $5.4 million. Tickets can be purchased online at starslottery.ca, by phone at 1-855-STARS-68 (782-7768), or at each of the grand prize dream homes. With tickets starting as low as $30, STARS LOTTERY remains one of the most accessible and affordable major charitable lotteries in the province.

Prizes include three grand prize dream homes located in Calgary, Edmonton, and Lethbridge; a 2025 Porsche 911 Targa GTS valued at $268,341; and four international vacation prizes valued between $4,000 and $12,500. Plus, the fan favourite Million STARS Daily Cash is back — with 40 daily draws of $25,000 each, — totaling $1 million in prizes. A full list of prizes can be found at ab.starslottery.ca.

All dream homes are open for viewing from Jan. 18 to Mar. 23, 2025; Sat., Sun. and holidays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
