Ticket sales for the biggest home lottery of the summer are ahead of last year鈥檚 pace.

In just over one month of ticket sales, BC Children鈥檚 Hospital Dream Lottery is outpacing last year.  BC Children鈥檚 Hospital Lottery historically sells out.

One reason may be the quality of prizes. As one ticket buyer said,  鈥淗ow can you not support the kids . . . and it鈥檚 easy when the prizes are so tempting. I love the house in Fort 91原创 so much, I鈥檝e already moved in (in my dreams).鈥�

People who are interested in buying tickets for this lottery are reminded that the 鈥淏onus Bundle 鈥� Dream Bonus Prize鈥� deadline is Sept. 9.

Two winners receive a pair of Vancouver Canucks season tickets or they can choose a luxury vacation for two to Fiji or choose $9,000 cash each.

This year鈥檚 early bird draw is a 2012 BMW 650i Cabriolet or $100,000 cash, plus there are seven more early bird prizes to win, of amazing vacations for two.  Early bird deadline is midnight Oct. 7, with the draw Oct. 31.

There are five grand prize choices and over 3,000 prizes to win, including 31 trips to give away throughout October.

The grand prize homes are located in South 91原创, Fort 91原创, Vancouver鈥檚 Coal Harbour and Victoria鈥檚 Cordova Bay, and are worth up to $2.5 million.

These homes are the main attraction for many of the ticket buyers.
