If you need some extra spending money or, you know, some extra cows, there's a new Alberta lottery that you should probably know about. 

HALO Air Ambulance, based in Medicine Hat, Alberta, has just launched what it's calling the "HALO Cattle ‘er Cash Lottery."

Tickets are $100 and you can get them up until November 23, 2021. 

There are four prizes: an early bird prize of $5,000, a second prize of $3,000, a third prize of $2,000, and the grand prize of $50,000 or the "equivalent value of bred heifers." 

"Bred heifers" are female cows that are pregnant, according to CTV News. 

The early bird draw will be on May 31, 2021, and the grand prize draw will take place on November 25, 2021. 

Funds raised are in support of HALO.

"We believe that our program provides an essential resource to our communities and ensures that residents and visitors can lead their lives knowing that we are available when needed," wrote HALO on the raffle page.
