Oilers collect record-breaking 50/50 raffle!

No fans in the attendance? No problem in Edmonton. One lucky hockey fan is still going to win big after a record-breaking 50/50 raffle at Monday night’s Oilers game.

That’s right, one fan is going to be a millionaire as the total estimated jackpot for the Game 2 draw is $3.2 million.The winner will take home more than $1.6 million. The rest of thejackpot will support charities with the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation.

The winning ticket number is A-13893018, the Oilers announced on Twitter and we can’t imagine the face of this fan when he or she found out the prize! 

The club beat its previous 50/50 sales record on Monday, hitting more than $2 million in sales before the game even started.

As NHL play resumed last month before empty arenas, the Oilers moved their 50/50 raffles online. And the virtual format has proved exceedingly popular with fans who follow the action online and on their couches. 

To make things even better for the Oilers and their fans, Edmonton beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-3 in NHL qualifiers to square the series 1-1. The teams are facing off again Wednesday night.

What will be the raffle total that night?! 

Saturday’s draw, the Oilers’ first online 50/50 raffle, also set a record. The total jackpot hit more than$762,000 and online were so frantic that they temporarily overloaded the online server.

Let’s see if the same can happen on Wednesday.
