Tickets are available until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, May 6 with the Grand Prize draw taking place on Thursday, May 7. You can get in on the action for as little as $10 for 10 tickets. The winner of the fall Draws for Paws 50/50 Lottery took home more than $144,000.

“This is your last chance to take part in the Ontario SPCA’s Draws for Paws 50/50 Lottery,” says Stephanie Miller, Vice President of Development, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. “Every ticket helps provide life-saving care for animals in need – and one lucky supporter will walk away with a jackpot that could change their life.”

When you buy a ticket, you’re not just taking a chance at a life-changing prize – you’re helping give animals a second chance. Funds raised through the Draws for Paws 50/50 Lottery support the Ontario SPCA’s Community Access to Resources, Education, and Support (CARES) Fund – a grant program that helps SPCAs and humane societies across Ontario. The CARES Fund provides financial support for initiatives that enhance animal welfare, including spay/neuter programs, veterinary care, and shelter improvements.

The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Provincial Office sits on the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of Scugog, Hiawatha and Alderville First Nations and the Métis Nation. This territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. The treaties that were signed for this particular parcel of land are collectively referred to as the Williams Treaties of 1923.
