IF I WIN THE HOUSE, DO I HAVE TO LIVE IN IT OR CAN I SELL IT?

Once the home is awarded to the winner(s), they do not have to live in it. Any prize won can be sold if the winner wishes to do so. 

IF I SELL THE HOUSE (OR ANY OTHER PRIZE), DO I HAVE TO PAY TAX ON THE SALE AMOUNT?

Lottery winnings are considered windfalls, not capital gains and are not taxable in Canada. If the home winner decides to sell the Cottage, he or she does not have to live in the home for any amount of time before selling. Consult a tax professional for specific advice on this matter. 

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO CLAIM MY PRIZE?

All prizes should be claimed within one (1) year of the applicable draw date. In the event that winners have not claimed their prizes within that period, and after reasonable attempts have been made to contact that winner (i.e. telephone, mail), then the prize will be submitted to a charity approved by the SLGA. 

ARE THE PRIZES DONATED?

No. All prizes are purchased by the Foundations using the tender process.

HOW MUCH WILL THE HOSPITALS RAISE AND HOW WILL IT BE USED?

The projected net proceeds for the Hospital Foundations is nearly $2 Million.
