STARS LOTTERY returns to Saskatchewan, supporting critical care services

SASKATOON, June 6, 2025 –  STARS Lottery Saskatchewan is back with its most exciting lineup yet to celebrate 40 years since STARS was founded. From now until Aug. 8, 2025, people in the province can purchase tickets for a chance to win over 2,200 prizes valued at more than $4 million — including two stunning dream homes — all while supporting STARS’ life saving mission.

“Every ticket purchased isn’t just a chance to win, it’s a direct investment in critical care for our neighbours, our family and our community,” said Dr. John Froh, president and CEO, STARS. “For 40 years, STARS has been more than a service, we’ve been a lifeline, and a beacon of hope in some of the darkest moments of our patients’ lives. As someone who has worked in this field for a long time, I’ve seen firsthand how this support translates into lives saved. The lottery ensures the next patient can get the care they need, anytime, anywhere.”

Since arriving in Saskatchewan in 2012, STARS has flown over 10,000 missions across the province. Whether it’s transporting critically ill patients, delivering virtual care, or supporting rural communities, STARS remains committed to serving Saskatchewan for decades to come. The funds raised through the lottery go directly towards STARS’ operations — covering approximately one-third of the annual cost to run both bases in Saskatoon and Regina. Tickets purchased for the lottery help keep helicopters and expert flight crews in the sky 24/7, ensuring STARS can respond without hesitation when seconds matter most.

To mark this milestone year, Saskatchewan’s 2025 STARS Lottery features two grand prize dream homes in Saskatoon and Regina, plus thrilling vehicles, international vacations, unique experiences, and thousands of additional in home, outdoor and electronic prizes.  The Bonus Prize also gives those who purchase a ticket before June 26, 2025, the chance to win a 2025 Porsche Cayenne AWD. Tickets purchased before July 17, 2025, are also eligible for the Early Bird Prize, including a 2025 GMC Sierra 2500HD Crew Cab AT4 and a 2025 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheel Trailer. The always-popular Lucky STARS 50/50 is back, which will see one lucky winner receive half of up to $5 million. Also returning is STARS Daily Cash — 40 draws of $10,000 each, awarded daily, totaling $400,000.
