The 2024 CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery is on!  

The 2024 CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery has officially launched, featuring more than $5 million in prizes including a beautifully decorated Minto Dream Home, trips to top-rated destinations, vehicles and more. The annual lottery is one of the biggest fundraisers to support CHEO’s historic campaign to transform pediatric healthcare.

“Every ticket purchased in the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery means more support for the children and families in our community,” says Steve Read, President and CEO, CHEO Foundation. “We deeply appreciate the numerous partners who have generously contributed to the show-stopping Minto Dream Home and the list of incredible prizes. Kids are facing more complex health issues than ever before, and by taking part in this year’s lottery, you are helping CHEO support the children, youth and families of today and tomorrow.” 

“Since 2001, Minto Communities has proudly designed and built the Minto Dream Home in Ottawa, significantly contributing to the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery’s efforts in raising millions of dollars annually for CHEO,” says Anthony Minchella, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Minto Communities Ottawa. “This year’s wellness-inspired home, The Oasis, is an exciting collaboration with Tanner Vine Interiors, who have introduced a modern interior design approach that evokes a beautiful, peaceful place to call home. We are thrilled with the result, and are confident everyone will be, too.”

The grand prize package is valued at over $3.3 million and includes a stunning Dream Home built by Minto Communities, designed and decorated by Minto’s Karen van der Velden and Tanner Vine of Tanner Vine Interiors. Named The Oasis, the home offers a calming and minimalist aesthetic, infused with raw textures and natural materials. The 5,097 square-foot Minto Dream Home is located at 845 Companion Crescent in the Mahogany community of Manotick.  

The public is invited to visit Tuesdays to Fridays between noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The grand prize winner will also receive $100,000 in cash, a 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB 300 4MATIC courtesy of Star Motors of Ottawa, house cleaning for a year from ATC Cleaning, legal services from Mann Lawyers LLP, moving services from Adam’s Moving, $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy and a $5,000 W.O.
