Mary Ellen Clark, Lottery Chairman, says proceeds from the lottery go toward renovations to the Beautiful Plains Medical Clinic, including fixing the roof and building a new entrance at the south end of the building.
When asked about the support the lottery gets from the Parkland, Clark said "we have had amazing support from the Parkland right from our very beginning".
Clark also noted the success of the Dauphin Kings Tractor Lotto was a big influence in their committee's decision to start having their own annual lottery. "We were very nervous to start, but it was always very successful in the Parkland, and we tried it, and the Parkland people have supported us a-hundred-and-ten percent for the last fifteen years that we've ran ours".
