As a registered charity that does not receive annual government funding, the Ontario SPCA depends on generous supporters to change the lives of vulnerable animals.
By purchasing a ticket in the Spring Draws for Paws 50/50 Lottery, donors are giving the gift of shelter and care for animals in need and helping animals in communities across Ontario.
The grand prize draw takes place on April 25. Tickets can be purchased online. The more tickets sold, the higher the jackpot grows.
