STARS Alberta lottery now open; fundraiser is critical to sustaining operations

LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Alberta STARS lottery is underway again for another year.

The air ambulance service says this past year was one of its busiest on record as crews worked on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic taking care of critically ill patients.

STARS President, Andrea Robertson says when someone buys a lottery ticket, they help ensure STARS is available for the next patient who’s in need.

The 2022 STARS lottery features three grand prize dream homes in Calgary, Edmonton and here in Lethbridge.

The Lethbridge house, built by Van Arbor Homes, is located at 1401 Halifax Road West and is valued at $925,000. You can see that home here: Lethbridge STARS 2022

There are also 2,500 prizes up for grabs, valued at more than $4.8 million. The early bird deadline for tickets is March 3rd. The final deadline is March 31st.
