Stars Lottery Winners
Playing Lottery and Saving Lives
Perhaps not many people outside Canada have heard of the Stars charitable organization or the Stars Lottery. It is not a simple lottery but a lottery on a mission. Established in 1985, STARS is a foundation that fights for lives. It provides people with vital care when they urgently need it.
STARS offers emergency medical transport for the injured and ill. It also trains rural health providers and helps with rapid transport in cases of emergency. STARS operates 24/7 from their various bases in Alberta and Saskatchewan, always anticipating and acting quickly when an emergency arises.
STARS Lottery – A Lottery With a Charitable Mission
With every lotto ticket people buy, they are getting a chance to win over two thousand prizes with a total value of over $4.2 million. That includes two grand prize dream houses worth $1.5 million each. The proceeds from the lottery go to the STARS’ life-saving operations, employee training, and work tools. By playing this lottery, you give patients another chance at life, which is the biggest reward for everyone.
STARS has a great team of pilots and helicopters, nurses, paramedics, and transport physicians needed to provide immediate care for patients, from the landing to the scene until getting back to the hospital. Each STARS helicopter and hangar is fully equipped with modern medical equipment and trained staff to provide critical care. By buying lottery tickets, you are supporting STARS and helping make this possible.
Last year, STARS had over a thousand flying missions over Canadian provinces. Each call they receive involves people in critical need of emergency transport, increasing their chances for survival. Now when you know more about the primary mission of STARS, let’s have a look at their lottery so far and what you can expect from it.
The 2021 STARS Lottery and Prize Winners
The 2021 STARS Lottery is over, and there were many people awarded. The Lucky Stars 50/50 final draws happened on the 29th of July, 2021, and all winning ticket numbers were posted on the official website of the STARS Lottery. All the winners received letters with details about their prize and how to claim it.
2021 was a very rewarding year indeed. The lottery broke records by raising over $5 million. The STARS Lottery is labeled as the most successful lottery to this date. The 10th annual event held in Saskatchewan is the STARS’ largest fundraising endeavor.
Among the many prizes of the lottery, there were epic vacations, luxury vehicles, and a couple of wholly furnished dream homes valued at $1.5 million each. Also, prizes included:
- Big cash awards.
- Lots of luxury cars to choose from.

STARS Lottery breaks records each year, with 2021 being no different. Collecting over $5 million will surely help the charitable organization improve its services and respond to any emergency call they receive.
According to the STARS’ Chief Fundraising Brand Officer, Terri Strunk, the lottery has been the largest fundraiser for the organization, making it the most successful lottery in Canada.
