SaskTel Pioneers Payday Lottery

Please complete the enrolment form and inter-office mail or fax to the address and numbers provided on the form as soon as possible.  Payroll deductions of $5 per payday will commence on the pay check for the week of September 3, 2011.

If you wish to enrol throughout the year, you can do so, however our Lottery License requires that you must pay for the draws that you have missed, and then on a go-forward basis have fee deducted from your pay.

Employees and retirees can complete the enrolment form. Print the form, complete it, and send it along with any cheques (if required) to the following address:

     SaskTel Pioneer Payday Lottery
     c/o SaskTel Pioneers
     2121 Saskachewan Drive, 2nd Floor
     Regina, SK
     S4P 3Y2

This lottery is only eligible to members of the SaskTel Pioneers, DirectWest Pioneers, or SecurTek Pioneers.

Employees who leave the company or go on leave (ie. Maternity or sick) will have the option to purchase the outstanding balance of their tickets. Otherwise, when payroll deductions are terminated, your name will be removed from the draw.

Yes, the deductions will be made from your pay until your retirement date. Once you retire, you will be required to provide a cheque for the balance remaining. Please make arrangements by calling the Pioneer Office at 777-2515, toll free at 1-866-944-4442 or send an email.

Yes, it is your responsibility to contact the Pioneer Office at 777-2515 or sending an email to make arrangements for payment, as there is no payroll deduction option for those on maternity leave.

The total cost is $130.00. For employees you will have the $5 deducted every two weeks from your payroll. You will see the deduction on your paystub. Retirees and SecurTek Employees have the option to provide a cheque for the full $130 dated June 15, 2010, or provide two cheques of $65 each, dated June 15, 2010 and December 1, 2010.

Unfortunately, all employees of SaskTel and DirectWest must pay through payroll deduction. Employees of Securtek, and retirees are the only people who can pay by cheque.

No you may not. System limitations do not allow us to have more than one deduction of the same kind taken off.

There will be 31 prizes drawn during the course of the Payday Lottery. There will be a draw every two weeks (every Thursday opposite payday) of $500 each. An exception to this will be the draw January due to New Years Day. There will also be three grand prize draws and a special Pioneer week draw.

There will be 26 draws of $500 each.

There will be 3 grand prize draws of $2,500 each.

Charity of Choice Draw - winnter receives $500 and their charity of choice receives $500.

Special Pioneer Centennial Draw for $1,000 on November 2, 2011.

(See calendar for complete listing)

If you win a $500 prize and the Pioneer Week prize your name will be returned for future draws. All grand prize winners will be eligible to win $500 prizes, but will not be entered in further grand prize draws.

According to Revenue Canada, lottery tickets are not tax-deductible, since there is the possibility that the ticket could be exchanged for a prize.

No, you will not be required to pay any tax in relation to the prizes available to be won in this lottery.
