“I did check in with the CEO of the Y and I said, ‘How’s everything going?’ and he said, ‘Well, we have a line up out the door at the downtown Y right now,’ so if that’s any indicator, obviously this lottery is off to an amazing start.”

Last year value packs sold out in two and a half days and all tickets were sold out within thirteen. 

This year, more tickets have been added for a one in 15,000 chance to win the grand prize. 

Proceeds from the lottery go to programming at the YMCA. 

“All proceeds stay right here in Kamloops and allow the Y to do the amazing work they do,” Herman said, “whether that’s the women’s shelter, whether it’s the outreach programming, youth, child-minding services, all of the things that just enrich our lives here in our community.”
