Lottery grand prize a dream home fit for kids to grow up in
What better grand prize to offer in the Children's Hospital Lottery than a home. At the end of the day, it's where every child and their family wants to be. Article content Homes by Avi is once again the proud builder of the $1.4 million grand prize show home, one of more than 500 prizes in the 33rd annual Children's Hospital Lottery presented by the Kinsmen Club of the Stampede City. Article content Article content The fully furnished, decorated and landscaped 2,582-square-foot home, which comes with a 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz in the garage and $50,000 cash, will go to a lucky ticket holder on Aug. 26. Proceeds will go to purchase high-tech cardio-respiratory monitors for the Alberta Children's Hospital, which will improve response times for critically ill children in intensive care. Article content It's the 14th year that Homes by Avi has contributed a dream home in this lottery. They've chosen to showcase the Lincoln, a two-storey, front-garage model featuring four bedrooms and 3½ bathrooms.

The interior design is Scandinavian/mid-century modern, styled in calm neutrals with pops of blue that begin with a smoky blue backsplash in the gourmet kitchen.

We want lottery homes to be as dreamy as possible and dress them up with things people don't normally see,' Punter says.

Knowing that our design and construction team created a home so inspiring that it motivates people to purchase tickets is incredibly rewarding. Every home we build is beautiful, but this one holds a special place in my heart, knowing that ticket sales will go to purchase life saving equipment at the Alberta Children's Hospital,' she says.
