IS MY TICKET PURCHASE TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
No. Prizes won are not taxable and therefore the ticket purchase cannot be used as a tax deduction.
HOW DOES THE 50/50 ADD-ON WORK?
The 50/50 Add-On has to be ordered in conjunction with your Kinsmen Home Lottery ticket and will not be accepted at a later date. 50/50 Add-On tickets can be added on to your Kinsmen Home Lottery ticket at the following price points: Single ticket for $25, 15-pack for $50 or 25-pack for $75.
The 50/50 prize value will depend on the nature of sales. The 50/50 Add-On Winner will be awarded half the total sales up to a maximum of $343,425.00. The winner will take half the total sales and the Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon will take half.
Updates to the 50/50 Add-On total sales will be available online throughout the lottery at www.KinsmenHomeLottery.com.
HOW DOES THE CASH CALENDAR ADD-ON WORK?
The Cash Calendar Add-On has to be ordered in conjunction with your Kinsmen Home Lottery ticket and will not be accepted at a later date. Cash Calendar Add-On tickets can be added on to your Home Lottery ticket at the following price points: Single for $25, 3-pack for $50, 6-pack for $75 or 10-pack for $100.
A total of 31 cash prizes will be awarded consisting of 27 prizes of $1,000 and 4 prizes of $5,000 every Monday in August.
IF I WIN THE HOUSE DO I HAVE TO LIVE IN IT OR MAY I SELL IT?
Once the home is awarded to the winner(s) they do not have to live in it. Any prize won can be sold if the winner wishes to do so.
IF I SELL THE HOUSE (OR ANY OTHER PRIZE) DO I HAVE TO PAY TAX ON THE SALE AMOUNT?
No. Lottery winnings are considered windfalls, not capital gains and are not taxable in Canada. If the home winner decides to sell the showhome, he or she does not have to live in the home for any amount of time before selling. Consult a tax professional for specific advice on this matter.
DO I HAVE TO TAKE MY PRIZE OR CAN I TAKE THE CASH EQUIVALENT?
All prizes must be accepted as awarded. There are cash substitutes offered for some prizes in this lottery, please refer to the brochure or visit KinsmenHomeLottery.com for more details.
IF I WIN A VACATION BUT CAN NOT TRAVEL, CAN I TAKE THE CASH
EQUIVALENT?
All vacation prizes have cash alternatives.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO CLAIM MY PRIZE?
All prizes should be claimed within one (1) year of the applicable draw date. In the event that winners have not claimed their prizes within that period, and after reasonable attempts have been made to contact that winner (i.e. telephone, mail), then the prize will be submitted to a charity approved by the SLGA.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN NOT PICK UP MY PRIZE IN PERSON?
Arrangements can be made to have a prize shipped to you. Arrangements can also be made for someone else to claim your prize with your written approval and proper identification.
CAN SOMEONE WHO LIVES OUTSIDE SASKATCHEWAN BUY A TICKET?
The lottery is intended for residents of Saskatchewan only. Purchasers must be in the province when purchasing a ticket and tickets will only be mailed to an address within Saskatchewan.
WHO IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO PURCHASE A TICKET?
The following, including their spouse and any related or dependent person residing in the same household, are prohibited from purchasing a ticket: Executives of the Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon, executive teams of builders contracted to provide real estate prizes to this lottery, any contracted interior designers partners, and Partners and employees of MNP LLP and its affiliates.
The official ticket is a receipt of purchase. Purchasers must be at least 18 years of age. Tickets cannot be purchased in the name of a minor.
ARE THE PRIZES DONATED?
No. The prizes are purchased by the Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon using the tendering process.
HOW ARE THE WINNERS NOTIFIED?
