How to get tix to the 2010 Olympic Winter Gamers Opening Ceremony in British Columbia.
Starting yesterday, the contest to win tickets to the opening ceremony of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, BC, was announced. Through the British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s program, “First Tickets to 2010,” you can get a spot at the games for $5.00 CDN, along with $1,000 spending money!
How It Works
Buy a $5.00 SportsFunder Instant Win Ticket at lottery retail centres for an opportunity to secure one of the 100 pairs of tix. You have a 1 in 5 chance at the opening ceremony and a 1 in 4 chance for anything else, including $1 million in cash prizes.
Where the Proceeds Go
Proceeds from the ticket sales will go towards funding amateur sports in British Columbia. For those children whose families can’t afford the fees, KidSport(tm), Team BC, Youth Sport Travel Assistance and Coach and Leadership Development will give them financial assistance through the profits of this program.
