The Red Deer Kinsmen drew winners of its 2017 Dream Home Lottery on Saturday, awarding 16 prizes with a combined retail value of $838,000.

Bryce Danroth of Red Deer was the grand prize winner of a $700,000 house built by Larkaun Homes.

Scott Bourke, lottery co-chair, turns the lottery drum.

While many prize winners were from central Alberta, others from as far away as Fort McMurray had purchased tickets.

The lottery’s co-chair Ryan Philip estimates proceeds to range from $250,000 to $300,000, money that will go toward worthy local causes.

“Take a look at the food bank. Look at this last year, few years how much they’ve struggled. We like to give back to them quite  a bit. Same with a lot of the other charities,” Philip said.

“When times are tough, it’s amazing people step through and come forward for helping everyone else out.”

Others include: Cystic Fibrosis, Red Cross, Youth and Volunteer Centre, Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter, Red Deer Pond Hockey, minor hockey and the Red Deer Public School Board Foundation’s Bright Start Program.
