CALGARY, AB, Oct. 19, 2022 /CNW/ - The Alberta Cancer Foundation has announced this year's winners of the Cash and Cars Lottery prizes, which include over 1,900 prizes valued at over $3.6 million. In support of the 17 cancer centres across Alberta, proceeds from the annual fundraiser will aid cancer patients and their families from time of diagnosis through to survivorship, by contributing to investments in cancer research, detection, and enhanced care programs.
"We have had such incredible support from Albertans for the Cash and Cars lottery this year," said Wendy Beauchesne, CEO, Alberta Cancer Foundation. "It is so thrilling to announce and congratulate our winners knowing that each ticket purchased contributes to ensuring Albertans facing cancer have access to the best possible care and treatment, no matter where in the province they live."
This year's lucky winners included:
