Eyes on the Prize: September 7 Brings Bradford Lions Club’s 66th Annual Mammoth Draw

Canadians are known for their passion for lotteries of all sorts, as they have the capacity to change their lives. September 7 is eyed as a special day, for this is when the Bradford Lions Club’s 66th Annual Mammoth Draw is about to highlight its winner. Enthusiasts still have the chance to purchase their tickets, but they are quickly being sold out ahead of the Saturday special event that would commence at 6 p.m.

A lottery draw has many perks up for grabs and players are often drawn to participating in such, as it is considered a safer type of gambling. Its problem gambling rates are much lower than typical casino gaming, making it a preferred pastime activity. The Bradford Lions Club eyes every fall as an opportunity to change many players lives both with the regular draw and with the early-bird ones throughout the summer months.

Each Ticket Costs CA$120

This year the regular draw comes with cash prizes reaching more than CA$115,000, making it an extremely attractive gaming offering. Early-bird draws proved the generosity of this lottery draw. Such was the case over the past few months, as July 1 saw the first chance of bagging a hefty prize of this annual draw.

The Bradford West Gwillimbury Canada Day celebration at the Bradford and District Memorial Community Centre highlighted one lucky winner whose ticket was drawn for a cash prize of CA$1,000. Their ticket was then returned to the pile, as they had the chance of being drawn in the next special draws. Each of the tickets costs some CA$120 and could make two players owners of a 2019 Chevrolet Malibu or a Chevrolet Silverado.

Players also have the opportunity to win a night for two at the Bradford Community Center including social gaming, delicious food, and live music by DJs and live performers.

Three Early Bird Draws this Summer

Organized lotteries have one main goal when all is said and done – to benefit the community and local charity organizations. In this case, the lottery had supported the food bank, Santa Claus Parade, the Southlake Regional Health Centre, as well as support for the Lions Aquatics Centre and the Fieldhouse at Henderson Memorial Park.
