Proceeds from the lottery go toward supporting Calgary hospitals, specifically critical care services.
"The support we get from the community through the lottery allows us to support the hospitals and this year we're supporting critical care services for the Peter Lougheed and South Health Campus and the whole region, really," Meldrum said.
Net proceeds from the lottery are projected to be in excess of $6.5 million this year.A look inside the $2.6 million Cranston show home up for grabs in Calgary's Hospital Home Lottery. (Calgary Health Foundation)
