December 1st will always be a day to remember for Juan Pablo Garcia Silva Perez.
It was his lucky day today when his ticket was drawn from the barrel as the grand prize winner of the Prince George Hospice Dream Home Lottery.
He’s won a prize worth $824,500.
The custom-built by Toor Enterprises, the 2,940 square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bathroom house is located at 3445 Monro Way in University Heights.
The house, which has a finished basement and double garage, has an appraised value of $800,000. It includes five appliance worth $8,100 as well as furniture valued at $16,400.
Not bad for the price of a $125 ticket.
The lottery was sold out for the ninth consecutive year.
There’s still time to buy tickets for the Prine George Hospice Palliative Care Society’s second Hospice At Home 50/50 draw, which offers a chance to win as much as $250,000.
Chances of winning are one in 20,000, if all tickets are sold.
The draw will happen on Jan. 11 at 5 p.m.
Proceeds will be used to fund a new program started by the hospice last year which provides palliative care for people who want to die in their homes.
