The Air Cadet Lottery is an optional funding tool available to squadron sponsoring committees (SSCs) located in Quebec. The main purpose of the lottery is to help SSCs pay their annual assessment. Once the assessment has been paid, lottery proceeds can go a long way towards meeting the other financial needs of participating SSCs.
The total involvement of cadets, SSC members and squadron officers is essential to the success of this fundraising campaign. The lottery also provides an opportunity to raise public awareness of Air Cadets. All profits from the lottery are returned to the participating SSCs. The QOVPC does not keep any profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lottery process begins with planning in the spring, and ends with the drawing of the prizes, usually the following winter. Here’s an overview of the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
    \n
  1. Send a message to SSC chairpersons asking them to fill out the entry form to get an estimate of the total number of tickets to be produced. The number can be adjusted (upwards only) later in the process;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Establish the prizes to be drawn, the date and location of the draw – Quebec law requires that the prizes to be drawn represent at least 10% of the total value of the tickets to be issued;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Produce the ticket graphics (only the draw date and license number remain to be inserted);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Obtain quotes for printing and shipping costs, as well as production lead times;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Apply for a license from the R\u00e9gie des alcools, des courses et des jeux;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Obtain a letter of guarantee for the total value of prizes to be printed;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Establish the value of the rebate to the SSC based on costs directly related to the lottery;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Print tickets and prepare them for dispatch to participating SSCs. SSCs want to receive their tickets early in the training year so they can take advantage of all sales opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
