FAQ
Player Profile
This year we are introducing a Player Profile to provide participants of the WinWin Staff Lottery and Quarterly Cash 50/50 Lottery the convenience of managing their purchasing preferences. Here, you can update your contact information, change your ticket packages, or opt-out of the lottery.
No. The Player Profile gives you access to a centralized portal to manage your preferences/contact information for the WinWin Staff Lottery.

The player profile does not coincide with AHS programs such as E People. Address changes made to E people will not reflect in the Player Profile therefore address updates must be made to the Player Profile as well.

Upon receipt, winners need to validate their information by presenting a valid piece of government issued ID.
All Tickets will be emailed. Please provide your correct email at the time of Enrollment or credit card purchase to ensure your tickets are received. AHS has firewalls that may at times block such emails, so it is recommended that you provide a personal email instead.
Deductions
You will continue to have your chosen deduction while ticket quantities remain. Should your ticket package not be available for deduction due to quantities, you will be given notice that your deduction will be ending, and you will have an opportunity to select an alternate ticket package.
Payroll deduction: Payments are deducted from your paycheque each pay period.
Online credit card payment: Visa/Mastercard Debit (if applicable), Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover Card.
Once you enroll in the Payroll Deduction Program, each pay period will continue to be deducted. Deduction amounts are dependent on the ticket package(s) selected. For example, if you have selected the set of 10 tickets for $30, $30 will be deducted each pay period and 10 tickets will be entered into the draw each pay period.
Once you have enrolled in the payroll deduction program, your deductions will continue until you opt-out of the program by contacting customer support.
If you wish to opt-out from deductions, please opt-out by contacting the customer support team by email: [email protected] or by phone: 1-844-594-6946.
