After taking a year off, the Neepawa and District Farm and Leisure Lotto is back this year.
Lottery chairman Mary-Ellen Clark says it is the 17th year overall for the lottery, and they are excited to have it back after having to cancel last year's lottery.
"In the 16 years that we have run the lottery, we have raised over $1,881,000."
Clark adds proceeds from the lottery goes towards the medical building in Neepawa.
"Due to our increasing population in Neepawa, which has doubled in recent years, we needed to do some renovations. Over the 16 years, we have done three different major renovations to the clinic. We have actually bought three different houses surrounding the clinic that we have turned into parking lots. We have also added a canopy outside of the south entranceway to the clinic so that when people get unloaded there they can get under shelter and out of the rain."
The grand prize is a choice of $100,000 cash or a voucher towards a farm and leisure package or a truck and trailer package.
The early bird draw, which takes place next Monday, is for either $10,000 cash or a credit towards a side-by-side.
Clark says ticket sales have been strong so far, adding they always get great support from Dauphin and the rest of the Parkland region.
"It is unbelievable the people from Dauphin, Gilbert Plains, Grandview, Rorketon, and all around that have supported us for years with this project. And we are so thankful for that because they have their own community but they continue to help us."
Tickets are $100 each or 3 for $250 and are now on sale online at www.neepawalotto.com, or by calling 1-877-876-8555.
They will also be on sale Wednesday through Saturday in the meeting room at the Neepawa town hall.
