Edmonton woman wins top prize in 2021 Calgary Stampede Lotteries

The Calgary Stampede Lotteries have always been a big part of the July event and, after the pandemic threw a wrench in their plans last year, the Lotteries returned in 2021 with the “most valuable prize ever offered.”

To celebrate 70 years of supporting local charities, this year’s Stampede Lotteries offered more than 100 prizes, with a total value of over $2.2 million.

The top prize was a two-storey, 2,490-square-foot Rotary Dream Home by Homes by Avi. The house has three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, and it came with a bonus $100,000 cash prize.

The Calgary Stampede has announced the winners of this and the other prizes in the 2021 lotteries, with 10 top winners and 128 people who received other packages.
