VGH+ Millionaire Lottery launches to fund BC healthcare
The 2026 VGH+ Millionaire Lottery has launched to raise funds for healthcare innovation and medical research across British Columbia. All proceeds support the VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, which funds institutions including Vancouver General Hospital, UBC Hospital, and the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute.
This year’s lottery features 11 grand prize options. Winners can choose from luxury home packages in various communities, such as Sooke, Colwood, the Okanagan, Vancouver, and White Rock, or opt for $3 million in tax-free cash. One specific prize includes a Surfside Yacht Suite in Sooke valued at over $3.3 million, which comes with an Audi Q6 electric vehicle and $1.9 million in cash.
Additional prize tiers include an early bird package worth over $200,000, a Daily Cash PLUS game with $400,000 in prizes, and a 50/50 PLUS Lottery with a potential jackpot of up to $3 million. Since its inception, the foundation’s lottery initiatives have raised more than $100 million for healthcare services.
