Sask Lotteries is the provincial marketing organization responsible for Western Canada Lottery Corporation products in Saskatchewan. Operated under licence by Sask Sport, this non-profit initiative uses the sale of lottery products as a major fundraising tool to support sport, culture and recreation organizations throughout the province.
Through an agreement with the Government of Saskatchewan, proceeds from Sask Lotteries are dedicated to sport, culture and recreation organizations that benefit communities across the province. The organization highlights that approximately 1,200 organizations receive direct funding support every year, and more than 12,000 groups ultimately benefit from lottery proceeds. This positions Sask Lotteries as a key financial backbone for a wide network of community-based activities and programs.
Funds raised through ticket sales help sustain a broad spectrum of initiatives, including amateur sport organizations, cultural groups, arts and heritage activities, and local recreation programs. The supported organizations span urban and rural communities, and their work is underpinned by an estimated 330,000 volunteers active in the lottery-funded sport, culture and recreation system.
Sask Lotteries operates in partnership with Sask Sport and under the oversight of the provincial government framework. While detailed grant program guidelines are typically managed by partner organizations within the system, Sask Lotteries serves as the central fundraiser whose revenues flow into multiple funding mechanisms and programs that support eligible organizations across Saskatchewan.
By linking everyday lottery play with community impact, Sask Lotteries provides ongoing financial support that helps maintain facilities, events, training, and participation opportunities in sport, culture and recreation for residents of all ages.
