Feeling like you might be lucky in the New Year? Maybe buying a ticket for the PCU Centre lottery would be a good bet.
Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie has plans to hold a PCU Centre lottery.

At its meeting of council on Tuesday, it guaranteed the $100,000 amount in prizes, as required by the Lotteries Commission.

“The intent is to run a lottery for PRRA (Portage Regional Recreation Authority) through the PCU Centre,” said Reeve Toby Trimble. “Part of the licensing requirements for the Manitoba Lotteries Commission is that the prize monies be guaranteed. The municipality has agreed to guarantee the prize money, so the licensing can go ahead, and a process of setting up a lottery to raise funds for the PCU Centre can move ahead.”

As soon as the details of the lottery are complete, more information will be announced to the public.

The lottery project is strictly an RM of Portage initiative.
