HRF unveils fall lottery showhome WATCH: The Hospitals of Regina Foundation unveiled its fall lottery showhome on Wednesday.

The Hospitals of Regina Foundation (HRF) unveiled a $1.3 million house as the grand prize in its 2023 Fall Home Lottery on Tuesday.

HRF launched the lottery, featuring the grand prize showhome in the Creeks with $50,000 cash, and an early bird prize of a $750,000 cottage at Echo Lake with $10,000 cash.

Both properties will be fully furnished, decorated, and landscaped, according to a media release from HRF.

The showhome in the Creeks is located at 4143 Fieldstone Way. It was designed with modern and Scandinavian influences, with wood tones and an open-concept kitchen and dining room. It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and includes a bar and entertainment area on the lower level.

The cottage in Echo Lake is located at 61 Aaron Court. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with vaulted ceilings in the great room. The bungalow also boasts “soaring windows” for plenty of natural light and “breathtaking” views of the lake.

The deadline for the showhome prize is Oct. 20, and the deadline for the early bird cottage prize is Oct. 6. Tickets are $100 each, three packs for $250, five packs for $575, and max pack for $875.

In addition to the top prizes, there are also over $2.3 million in other prizes to win, including a trip to Bali, or an Audi A3 plus a European adventure. The 50/50 add-on is also back for another year.

Proceeds from the lottery will go to support health care in Regina’s hospitals, as well has enhance medical programs, such as paediatrics, cardiac care, trauma care, medical imaging, and cancer care.

The foundation says the success of their lotteries over the decade shows how committed the people of southern Saskatchewan are to supporting their own healthcare.

Some of the money from this lottery will purchase a portable EEG monitor for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Regina General Hospital.

“When we have children come into the unit that have had a disruption in the amount of oxygen they’ve got, then we’ll often sedate them, put them to sleep, medical coma, and this machine lets us know if they’re seizing. It’s the only way to tell,” said Tom Sorensen, director of maternal and children’s programs.

Dino Sophocleuous, president and CEO of the HRF, said paediatrics is their biggest priority.

“In this foundation to date, we have invested over $35 million dollars in paediatrics in Regina, in support of children’s health care in Southern Saskatchewan. This is critically important, because every year, our hospitals treat over 10,000 children.”

The grand prize showhome is open to the public on Thursday and Friday evenings from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on weekends from 12 p.m. until 4 p.m.
