Would you take a dream vacation? Renovate your home? Or maybe treat your pets to a lifetime supply of toys and treats? Whatever your plans, winning the Ontario SPCA Draws for Paws 50/50 lottery is sure to make anyone’s spirits spring into the air! 

That was certainly the case for Karen C. from Midland. Last fall, Karen received a life-changing phone call letting her know she had won more than $144,000 in the Draws for Paws 50/50 Lottery. Not only did Karen’s big win brighten her day, but it also helped make a meaningful difference for animals across Ontario.  

The Draws for Paws 50/50 Lottery is a rewarding way to support animals in need. When you purchase a ticket, you’re not only entering for a chance to win big – you’re helping create real change for animals across the province. Every ticket helps provide care, support, and second chances for animals who need it most. 

2026 Spring Draws for Paws 50/50 Lottery 

Our Spring Draws for Paws 50/50 Lottery officially kicked off on March 16, with the Grand Prize draw happening May 7. As more tickets are sold, the jackpot continues to grow – meaning your chance to win could blossom into something truly exciting! 

The fun doesn’t stop there. To keep the excitement growing all season long, we’re also holding four Early Bird draws of $2,000 leading up to the Grand Prize draw. The earlier you enter – and the more tickets you purchase – the better your chances of winning big (for you, and for the animals!)

Helping animals bloom with care 

Funds raised through the Draws for Paws 50/50 Lottery support our life-changing work across the province, such as reducing pet overpopulation, providing veterinary care in underserved areas, and improving shelter life for furry friends waiting for forever homes through the Ontario SPCA Community Access to Resources, Education, and Support (CARES) Fund.  The CARES Fund is a grant program designed to support SPCAs and Humane Societies in Ontario by providing funding for projects that enhance animal welfare.

As a registered charity that is 100 per cent donor funded, the Ontario SPCA relies on the generosity of supporters to make these programs possible. Every ticket purchased helps plant the seeds for a brighter future for animals and the families who love them. 

Why not take a chance this spring? Your ticket could help animals in need – and you might just watch your good fortune blossom into a big win.
