The Canada’s Luckiest Student winner will take home $50,000 in life-changing student prizes. Will that winner be you?

Ever since we announced that Canada’s Luckiest Student was closed to new entries, we’ve been getting questions from students all over Canada. “Did I win?” “Have you drawn a winner yet?” “What’s it really like to win?”

Good news, as of today, we have drawn a winner!

But as you may know, there’s a bit of a twist. See, we don’t just announce a winner. In fact, planning the big reveal is our favourite part of Canada’s Luckiest Student. We get to surprise one of you with the kind of prizes we dreamt of having when we were in school, like $20,000 from CIBC, rent for a year from H&R Block, a trip to Europe from Contiki, and that’s just to start.

In other words, you’ll have to wait just a little longer to see if you’ve won.

Can’t take the waiting? Need a few hints to know if the Canada’s Luckiest Student winner could be you? Want to know how the reveal planning is going?

You’re in the right place, as we’ll keep updating this page with new details. Here’s what you need to know for now.

Have you drawn the Canada’s Luckiest Student winner?

Yes! But for now, the winner’s identity is a mystery. The only copy of their name exists in a secret vault, guarded night and day by a squad of rogue monkeys, armed with pool noodles. But seriously, the winner has been drawn.

Have you revealed who the winner is yet?

Not yet. Stay tuned for hints to their identity.
