The Hospitals Lottery Red Deer handed out the prizes today, after making the draw for all the grand prizes last week.

Sharmane Hindbo's name was drawn as the winner for the almost 840 thousand dollar dream home, along with over a hundred other people who won other prizes.

Hindbo said her granddaughter Sara spent some time in the Red Deer hospital, and that helped them realize how much the hospital does for area residents.

“So Sara spent about two months in the NICU centre in Red Deer, so we spent a little bit of time in there, and I think we really appreciated the staff and everything they did, and the facility. And you find out…how much the hospital does for us in this area, and we kind of have to pay it forward.”

Bruce MacKenzie of Blackfalds was also a big winner, taking home just over 225 thousand dollars through the mega Bucks draw.
