Today marks the 100th day of the Dream Home Lottery and the Prince George Hospice Society would like to express their thanks and appreciation to Brent Marshall of the Northland Auto Group who has recognized this milestone with the purchase of 100 Dream Home Lottery tickets. The ticket purchase is to support the cause behind the lottery and to recognize employees and customers of the Northland Auto Group.
"It's a little outside the box but it's part of the whole business philosophy we have," said Brent Marshall. "To buy a hundred of these tickets and then to give them to my employees and customers, the people that support us, and then they can win a home; what better gift would there be? And the money from all that goes to a good cause with the Hospice Society; it doesn't get much better than that for me."
"I think it is incredibly important that we support a local cause like this," continued Marshall. "This shouldn't just be about buying a ticket to win a house. Yes you could win a house or another prize, but it should be that the $100 went to help other people. I want to make sure people aren't overlooking that this isn't just about a lottery. This is about raising money to help meet the funding needs of the Prince George Hospice Society."
The Lottery was started to raise funds for the annual operational requirements of the Rotary Hospice House. The purchase of these tickets is a huge step forward for the Dream Home Lottery which is into its 100th of 122 days. The final two early bird prizes will be drawn on Friday October 14th with every ticket purchased prior to 2pm October 13th eligible to win the Trip for Two to Puerto Vallarta and a Hockey Stick Bench. The grand prize of the energy efficient custom built home by Rise Construction will be drawn on October 28th at 8pm at the house.
The Dream Home is located at 7583 Stillwater Crescent in the Creekside Properties subdivision at the end of Malaspina Avenue in the College Heights area of Prince George. Tickets may be sold and purchased only in the Province of British Columbia and ticket purchasers must be 19 years of age or older.
