Here’s the latest high-level update on Edmonton Oilers 50/50 raffles:
- The Oilers Community Foundation’s 50/50 raffle typically runs during playoff runs and in conjunction with home game events, with proceeds supporting local charities and Make-A-Wish Canada. Recent reports show ongoing discussions about how funds are allocated and managed, particularly around online ticket sales and related expenses.[3][4][5]
- In 2025, coverage highlighted transparency discussions surrounding the program, including regulatory oversight and the share of proceeds directed to charitable partners versus operating costs. The club and foundation have asserted that the program supports a broad range of community initiatives and maintains compliance with Alberta gaming rules.[2][3]
- For context, past coverage notes that 50/50 raffles have raised substantial funds for Make-A-Wish Canada and other community programs, with the scale of online sales expanding the potential impact.[5][7]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent headlines from Edmonton outlets and summarize any updated statements from the Oilers Entertainment Group or the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation about 50/50 revenue allocation, transparency measures, or changes to online ticketing rules. I can also track any new official releases during the current playoff run.
