For more than 70 years, the Calgary Stampede Lotteries has been giving back to the community with the support of ticket purchasers and through the work of our service partners, the Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park, the Kinsmen Club of Calgary and the Calgary Marching Band Association.
The Rotary Dream Home has been part of the Calgary Stampede Lotteries for 30 years, giving thousands of guests the opportunity to dream big while supporting charities across southern Alberta. Since 1995, Homes by Avi has built 30 Dream Homes, each one becoming part of the program's legacy.
That legacy is reflected in the families who have called these houses home. Walter and Rita have lived in the 1998 Rotary Dream Home for the past 2 years and say people still ask whether it's the Dream Home since it’s been a fixture in the community of Douglasdale for nearly three decades. Their answer? "For us, it still is."
Last year's winner, Andrea, is still living her own Dream Home story now fully settled in the home with her family, "It still feels like a dream. We often have to pinch ourselves because it all feels so surreal," she said
The Rotary Dream Home is just one of 37 prize packages available through the Calgary Stampede Lotteries. Last year's Kinsmen Early Bird winner, Gwyn Lewis, initially thought the call telling him he'd won a GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X and $25,000 in cash was a scam. Today, the truck has become part of everyday life, helping with home renovations, family road trips and lending a hand to friends and family.
Beyond the prizes, every ticket purchased helps fund local charities and community organizations, supporting programs and services that make a difference across southern Alberta.
With the final day of Stampede 2026 underway, don’t miss your change to purchase your Stampede Lotteries tickets and make an impact in your community. Tickets can be purchased on Stampede Park or online from anywhere in Alberta at calgarystampedelotteries.ca.
