Who is eligible for your services?
We support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the Greenstone area. The right program depends on each person's needs and goals. The best first step is to contact us so we can talk through the options with you and your family.

The 50/50 raffle
What is a 50/50 raffle?
In a 50/50 raffle, all ticket sales go into one pot. When the draw happens, one winner takes home half of the pot, and the other half supports Superior Greenstone's community programs for adults with disabilities.
How do I buy tickets, and what do they cost?
Choose a package on our 50/50 Raffle page: 10 tickets for $10, 50 for $20, 150 for $50, or 300 for $75 — the larger the package, the lower the cost per ticket. You'll confirm you're 18+ and in Ontario, then check out securely through our licensed raffle provider.
Can I play if I'm outside Ontario?
No. By law, you must be 18 years of age or older and physically located in Ontario at the time of purchase. We confirm your location before checkout as a required step.
Is the raffle legal and licensed?
Yes. Our raffle is licensed and regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) under Licence No. RAF1552567.
When is the draw and how are winners selected?
The next draw date and a live countdown to when sales close are shown at the top of the 50/50 Raffle page. A winning number is drawn at random after sales close. The winner is contacted directly and must verify their identity and eligibility before claiming the prize.
Where does the money go?
Half of every pot goes to the winner. The remaining half funds SGACL's programs and services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Northern Ontario.
What if the winner doesn't come forward?
Unclaimed prizes are held for at least six months. See our Rules of Play for full details on eligibility, prize claims, and how unclaimed prizes are handled.
Where can I get help with problem gambling?
Our raffle is a way to support our charity — it's not a way to make money. If gambling is no longer fun, free and confidential help is available 24/7 through ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600 or www.connexontario.ca. Read more on our Responsible Gambling page.
