The province-wide Split the Pot lottery has brought in over $1M in less than a month.
The initiative returns this year with more opportunities to win as it aims to support hospitals across Ontario, including Guelph General.
Paul McIntyre Royston, president & CEO, Grand River Hospital Foundation in Kitchener, said they’re excited to see so many individuals and the community come together to support the hospitals.

“Thank you to everyone who has helped us reach this milestone by playing Split the Pot so far. Your support is an investment in health care across the province and will help patients access the technology and services they need to have the best possible outcomes and experiences!” Royston said.
Currently, the grand prize total is over $5,00,000 and counting and as a way to give participants more chances of winning, the earnings will be divided among the 13 grand prize winners once the draw ends.
