Saskatoon, Sask.- The winning tickets for the 22nd Annual 4-H Saskatchewan Lottery were drawn on August 22, 2018 at the Provincial 4-H Office in Saskatoon. The 4-H Lottery is an annual fundraiser for the 4-H program in Saskatchewan, with all the proceeds directly supporting the 4-H movement in our province. This year, there were 6,940 tickets sold and the lottery raised $37,500, with 40 per cent helping with provincial programming and opportunities, while the 60 per cent going directly back to the clubs and District 4-H Councils, which participated by selling the lottery tickets. Congratulations to the Grand Prize winners: Calvin Hall of Alida won the Kubota RTV 500, donated by Kubota Canada and participating Saskatchewan dealers, including Armstrong Implements (Swift Current), Redhead Equipment (Estevan), Earthworks Equipment (Saskatoon), Grain Bags Canada (Humboldt), GleMor Equipment (Prince Albert), Logan Stevens Construction (Yorkton), Novlan Bros.

With the motto is “For Earth, For Life”, Kubota is focused on initiatives which develop communities to build a better tomorrow that starts at home. Kubota is proud to support 4-H Saskatchewan in building the next generation of young agricultural and community leaders. Rebecca Mayerle of Tisdale won the Clubhouse Shed, built by the woodworking students at A.E. Peacock Collegiate, with building supplies donated by Yara Belle Plaine Inc.
