ASSINIBOIA — You can win big while giving back to your community. The annual Assiniboia Spring Fever Lotto benefits community projects.
This year, Civic Improvement Association president, Curtis Nelson, says out of 7,009 tickets sold, there are still a couple thousand remaining. The 50/50 jackpot, as of May 8, is sitting at $130,000.
Nelson affirms that this year’s lotto money is earmarked for a Zamboni at the arena, as well as a few other small projects.
“This is a team effort as we are grateful for the couple hundred volunteers who help make this all possible, and achieve our goals,” adds the CIA president.
The main draw will take place May 25, with the winner taking home their choice of six different prizes, one of those options being $150,000 in cash. A complete prize list is included on the springfeverlotto.com website.
Assiniboia’s CIA says this fundraiser brings in annually between $250,000 to $300,000 per year, which goes a long way to funding capital projects in the community. This lottery has been a staple fundraiser in Assiniboia for 30 years in 2025. Because of this organization’s efforts, several million dollars have been put into community projects, thanks to supporters of this annual lottery.
This year’s anniversary lotto included 30 bonus “very early” purchaser prizes. Previous Buyer's Draw, listed on the lotto website, was won by Simone Tessier - Moose Jaw, $5,000 and the Early Bird Winner was Lylea Paulette - Shaunavon, $5,000. This year’s very early buyer winners came from places across the province and even a Virden, Man. winner.
Tickets can be purchased up until midnight May 24 by going online at springfeverlotto.com or stopping in at the Nelson GM dealership and purchasing online, or calling the 1-800 lotto line.
