50/50 JACKPOT RAFFLES
All ticket sales are online.
Players must reside in Alberta, be 18 years or older, and use a major credit card, Visa Debit or MasterCard Debit.
Drawings are usually within 24 hours of the closing of sales, in this case sales end November 30, 2024 at Midnight (In Alberta).
You do NOT need to be present to win.
We usually call the winner the same day as the drawing.
Funds are held by a company licensed by the province of Alberta and it takes a few days - up to 10 business days - for the funds to be released to us, as soon as they are we forward the winnings to the winner - generally via e-transfer.
The winner will receive 50% of total ticket sales.
A FEW MORE 50/50 DETAILS…
Horse Rescue Fund is a federally registered organization, but 50/50 raffles are regulated and licensed at the provincial level.
Typically, the funds raised through these raffles remain in the province where the license is issued.
The rules are straightforward: tickets are sold, and 50% of the total ticket sales is awarded to the holder of the winning ticket.
Part of the remaining 50% covers the cost of the licensed subscription software approved by provincial governments to manage the raffle or lottery.
In some cases, provinces may charge a small fee for each licence issued.
The majority of the remaining proceeds go to Horse Rescue Fund to support those in need.
We have been conducting 50/50 raffles in Alberta since late 2021, and we are now also licensed to operate 50/50’s in British Columbia, Ontario, and New Brunswick, with plans to expand further.
(Again, we are federally registered and do work from coast to coast but 50/50’s are licensed at the provincial level.)
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED…
We are currently looking for volunteers from across Canada, including two in Alberta, to assist with a few hours of paperwork per month for a few months each year.
We also need one volunteer in British Columbia, one in New Brunswick, one in Ontario, and two in Nova Scotia.
The duties are minimal, and more information can be provided upon request. If you’re interested in volunteering from home – NO MATTER WHERE IN CANADA YOU ARE – please reach out to us.
ECO FRIENDLY PLANT BASED PRODUCTS SUPPORT HORSE RESCUE FUND
If you haven’t already become a fan of the WIDE VARIETY of eco-friendly products offered by this Canadian-based company – with worldwide shipping – then let us fill in a few blanks for you.
The product that was the first to put this company on the map… Ultra-concentrated, hypoallergenic, eco-friendly cleaning laundry strips, pre-measured strips of detergent – that you just toss in the wash. No muss, no fuss – NO big clunky plastic bottle.
Think your laundry needs are too much for this product? We were skeptical but we threw horse ranch “barn clothes” & “saddle pads” at it and it not only worked, but it also outperformed our former favourite products. YET, it’s gentle enough for our hand washable and baby clothes, and again hypoallergenic.
AND now there are so many more products including an amazing toilet cleaner.
Oh, and did we mention that in addition to ALL KINDS of eco-friendly products — when you use our link, Horse Rescue Fund receives 20% of the purchase price?
ACTOR KATE DRUMMOND GIFTS FUNDS
NOVEMBER 2021: We should say actor Kate Drummond contributed yet again, this time to Horse Rescue Fund’s “Skip a coffee. Feed a horse” campaign.
You may recognize Kate from the long running CBC TV show Heartland, or from video games like Blacklist, Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy’s, the Division…
But we recognize and love her because in addition to regularly contributing funds to help horses in need, Kate is incredibly gracious about sharing information about the same on her social media accounts.
Kate from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! 😘
Your $5, $20 and $40 (and larger) contributions continue to go a very long way to buying hay and other supplies for equines in need.
We can’t do what we do without your help, and from the bottom of our hearts we thank you.
We’re hoping that your generosity will continue and that you’ll continue to contribute so that we can say yes to buying hay to helping equines in need.
Again, from the bottom of our hearts we thank you.
