Full House Lottery is a vital fundraising initiative supporting the University Hospital Foundation and Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation. Proceeds from the 2025 campaign will directly fund cardiac care at the University of Alberta Hospital and Royal Alexandra Hospital—two of Alberta’s most important medical institutions.

Together, these hospitals deliver specialized cardiac programs for both pediatric and adult heart patients while supporting cutting-edge research. These programs extend the viability of donor organs and lead the way in innovation and education in heart health.
The Royal Alexandra Hospital is home to the CK Hui Heart Centre offering patients a complete integration of cardiac services—from intensive care and in-patient care beds, catheterization, and pacemaker labs, to cardiac outpatient clinics. The University Hospital Foundation, which supports the University of Alberta Hospital and the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, a world-leader in complex cardiac care, plays a crucial role in advancing innovative treatments and research in Alberta and beyond.

“Every ticket purchased in this year’s Full House Lottery carried more than just the hope of a dream home — it carried the hope of a healthier tomorrow. It’s easy to think of Full House Lottery as a chance to win big, but the real winners are the patients whose lives are touched every day at the Royal Alexandra and University of Alberta Hospitals. From breakthroughs in cardiac care to innovations that redefine recovery and treatment, the funds raised through your support fuel extraordinary change. This year’s Full House Lottery has once again shown what is possible when a community comes together with compassion and a belief in a brighter future. On behalf of the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation, I extend my heartfelt thanks to every ticket buyer, partner, and supporter. You have not only made dreams come true — you have helped change the trajectory of care for tens of thousands of people.”
— Sharlene Rutherford, President & CEO, Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation

“Congratulations to all of this year’s Full House Lottery winners! Beyond the excitement of winning, your ticket purchase represents something truly powerful — hope.

Together, we’re giving more people the chance to survive, to heal and to return home to the ones they love.
