A brand-new way to back the causes you care about, with minimum weekly Grand Prizes of $5,000 – with the next Grand Prize draw on July 15, 2026.
“We’re excited to be part of the Ontario Unity Sweepstakes and grateful for the opportunity to connect with new supporters across Ontario. Every ticket purchased helps Habitat for Humanity Hamilton continue its work creating affordable housing opportunities and building stronger communities. Together, we can help ensure more families have access to a safe, decent place to call home.”
Sean Ferris, CEO, Habitat for Humanity Hamilton
How Unity Sweepstakes Works
It’s simple: each week, participants purchase tickets for a chance to win cash prizes — and choose where their support goes. When you enter, direct your ticket proceeds to Habitat for Humanity Hamilton, or split your support across every charity in the program. At checkout, players also select a 5-digit combination for a chance to Unlock the Vault (details below). Either way, every ticket fuels meaningful work in communities across Canada. It’s truly a win-win.
- $5,000 Guaranteed Prize — The weekly draw winner always walks away with at least $5,000, and potentially more if their Vault combination is a match.
- The Vault — The winner’s combination is compared against the week’s randomly generated Vault combination. The more digits that match in sequence, the more cash they win — up to 100% if all five digits match. Anything unclaimed carries over to next week’s draw.
Why We Joined
- Your ticket directly supports us. When you select Habitat for Humanity Hamilton at checkout, your contribution will support Habitat for Humanity Hamilton’s affordable housing initiatives, including our upcoming Dawson Avenue project. Located in Hamilton’s east end, the Dawson development will create 10 new affordable homes for local families through an innovative rent-with-equity model that helps residents build financial stability while accessing safe, affordable housing. At a time when housing affordability continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing our community, support from the Ontario Unity Sweepstakes will help us bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope for Hamilton families. Every ticket purchased helps create more opportunities for local families to achieve strength, stability, and independence through affordable housing.
- You have a real chance at winning. While our focus will always be to help support our important work and move us closer to a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to call home, Unity Sweepstakes adds the excitement of weekly cash prize draws.
- Your impact goes further together. By partnering with charities across the country, we share costs, grow prize pools, and reach more supporters — meaning the dollars you direct to Habitat for Humanity Hamilton have even greater impact.
