The 2023 CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery is underway, featuring more than $5 million in prizes.

Named "The Equestrian", the home "offers a nod to a refined horse-riding culture and a classic atmosphere," the CHEO Foundation said in a news release Wednesday. It is the first Minto Dream Home to use geothermal systems to heat and cool the home without fossil fuels.

"This year's home is based on the British equestrian interior style, and we’re really excited to feature it," Collins said. 

The design features leather, dark greens and strong colours. Collins says it's very different from previous Minto Dream Homes that her team has worked on.

"It's very rich and very cosy and it's very luxurious," she said.

The grand prize winner will also receive $100,000 in cash, a 2023 Mustang Mach-E California Route 1 courtesy of Donnelly Ford Lincoln, house cleaning for a year from ATC Cleaning, legal services from Mann Lawyers LLP, moving services from Adam’s Moving, $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy and a $5,000 W.O. Stinson and Son Ltd. gas card.

"For us, this is the biggest fundraiser we've got, and and a real important source of funding for the kids and the families that we serve," said Steve Read, President and CEO of the CHEO Foundation. "This is how we put the best equipment in the hands of our physicians, and surgeons. This is how we fuel the groundbreaking research that comes out of the research institute, and this is how we put programs and services in place for the families whose families are attending care and treatment."

The 4,383 square-foot Minto Dream Home is located at 364 Flare Grove in Manotick.

The public is invited to visit Tuesdays to Fridays between noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m

Mila Olumogba knows from experience the importance of CHEO. Her son was hospitalized in the ICU with RSV in late December,

"CHEO means family to us. They literally saved the life of our son. They kept our family together and they took such great care of him, of me, my husband, my kids," she said.

Other prizes in the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery include:

The 50/50 draw: Last year’s lucky winner took home over $1.3 million. Tickets for the 50/50 Cash Draw are available at a cost of one for $10, five for $25 or 15 for $50.

The VIP experience includes transportation, dining and accommodation. The deadline for this prize is Friday, Sept. 29.

(This prize, by the way, is a top pick for CTV News Ottawa chief anchor Graham Richardson, who says, "I'd probably take the home, but that Springsteen package is awesome; front row seats, plus a hotel stay, and you need lots of rest beforehand because it’s going to be a massive show.")

Car, Camping or Cash Prize: By ordering tickets before Friday, October 27, you will be eligible to win one of the following: a 2023 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring Hybrid courtesy of Donnelly Ford Lincoln, a 2023 Forest River Sandpiper Destination Trailer 403 RD from Leisure Days RV Group, or $100,000 in cash.
