Win a home fit for a king.
That's what it says on the Spruce Kings Show Home Lottery website and seeing is believing.
Located in Aberdeen Glen subdivision at 2738 Links Dr., the home immediately draws the eye up to capture the entire two-storeys with ground level entry.
And yes, that top balcony is a walk out from the master suite.
The home is 3,100 square feet plus a double car garage with a bump out that's big enough for a classic car, a workshop or just more room for your stuff.
The home is worth $640,000 and with Theory Hardware's contribution which includes all furnishings that brings the total of the grand prize to $730,000.
Built by Hopson Construction and designed by the company's co-owner, Katie McCutcheon, the home offers four bedrooms, four bathrooms and vaulted ceiling. The kitchen, dining and living room open concept is sure to please.
As luxurious as this house is, the most important feature of the show home is the reason behind it.
The Show Home Lottery is a fundraiser for the Spruce Kings hockey team, which is operated by a non-profit society which uses the proceeds from the lottery to help offset the expenses of running the successful BCHL team. Each year operating costs run more than $500,000 and about $300,000 of that comes from the lottery.
The Spruce Kings hockey club, which began in 1972, offers players the opportunity to excel in their sport, as well as have the opportunity to earn National Collegiate Athletic Association scholarships for post-secondary education.
The Spruce Kings are the only non-profit team in the BCHL.
Every member of the community is encouraged to support the team by purchasing tickets for $125 each at the show home at 2738 Links Drive Monday to Friday from noon to 4 p.m. or Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.. to 5 p.m. while touring the home in person or get tickets at a variety of locations throughout Prince George. Details for location and hours can be found at www.sprucekingsshowhome.ca.
There are only 11,000 tickets sold and there's early bird draws for those who buy their tickets soon.
There's also another opportunity to support the team by purchasing 50/50 tickets for $25 each. The Mega 50/50 lottery is divided into three periods just like a hockey game. The first period draw takes place Dec. 30 and last day to buy tickets for it is Dec. 26.
