For participants on payroll, $4 per ticket will be deducted from your biweekly pay. For participants not on payroll, tickets for all remaining draws in the entire lottery period must be purchased upfront by cheque or credit card. Biweekly draws will be conducted on Fridays at 2 p.m. Tickets are not tax receiptable.
A total of 4,500 tickets will be printed and available per draw. Actual prize amount varies with participation up to a maximum of $9,000 per draw.
