It's the eighth month in a row that the jackpot has been over $75,000 and, as of October 4th, the theatre has given away over $1.6 million in prizes.

The September draw provided funding for a theatrical lighting equipment upgrade, enhancements to the orchestra pit, live streaming equipment, and other physical upgrades to the building.

Other upgrades at the theatre include washroom renovations, and auditorium upgrades like new seats, new paint, new floor, and state of the art PA speaker system. The fifth and final phase of the roof replacement will be completed soon.
