ALCDSB Fall 50/50 Raffle jackpot is up to $20,000

By Paul Martin Nov 10, 2026 | 10:43 AM
The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board (ALCDSB) is pleased to announce that the total pot for its Fall 50/50 Raffle has reached $20,000, and continuing to grow rapidly.

The current online raffle opened on October 30 and runs until midnight on November 20. Half of the total ticket sales go to one lucky winner, while the other half goes to the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic Education Foundation (ALCE), a registered charity that supports local students and families in times of need and crisis.

This is the fifth 50/50 raffle that the ALCDSB has organized since its inception in February of 2025.

“Requests to use funds from the Foundation have increased substantially in the past couple of years, pointing to a dire need in our communities for essentials, like food, rent and clothing,” says Leila Goyer, Chair of the ALCE Foundation. “I am immensely grateful and proud for the way the community has come together to help reach milestones through this project.”

Earlier this year, a Kingston family took home over $42,000 from the Spring 50/50 Raffle.

Staff, families, community members and any Ontario resident who is at least 18 years of age are eligible to purchase tickets. The raffle runs until midnight on Friday, November 20, and the winner will be selected on Monday, November 23.
