The Willow Bunch Golf Club drew the winners of its annual lottery, the 2018 Auto Lotto, on the weekend of February 26. The draw was held at the Jolly Giant Pub and Motel in Willow Bunch.

The Willow Bunch Golf Club Auto Lotto is an annual fundraiser to help fund various improvement projects at the golf course. The lotto began in the mid 1990s to help fund reconstruction activities and the installation of irrigation. With the success of that lotto, it has been held annually ever since to fund further improvement projects.

Although the Auto Lotto was intended for the golf course, it contributes to the entire community since the golf course brings many tourists and visitors to the Willow Bunch community. The Auto Lotto has given out more than $1,000,000 in cash and prizes since it began almost 30 years ago.

The $50,000 cash grand prize winners of the Willow Bunch Auto Lotto was shared between three sisters. Left to right: Tammy Chowen, Sandra Honeyman, Sharleine Eger (presenting the cheque on behalf of Willow Bunch golf club) and Susan Nygaard.
