globalnews.caHere’s the latest I can share about Oilers 50/50 news up to now.
- A notable report in 2025 highlighted that Edmonton Oilers 50/50 raffles have directed substantial funds to the Oilers Entertainment Group’s private vehicle Win50, with reported payments exceeding $81 million between 2021 and 2024. This sparked questions about charitable flow versus organizational costs, though the Oilers Foundation said the majority funds go toward charitable work and that Win50 handles many operating expenses.
- The Oilers 50/50 program has continued to use online sales and playoff-era promotions to boost jackpots, with the Foundation emphasizing wins support for community initiatives across Oil Country, including youth programs and cancer-related charities. The program has positioned itself as one of the larger raffles in professional sports, contributing toward extensive community funding since going online in 2020.
- In past playoff periods, 50/50 raffles for Oilers games have reached multi-million-dollar jackpots, sometimes crossing into seven-figure sums, and there have been special playoff promotions or bonus draws tied to major series such as the Stanley Cup Final. These promotions are typically framed as benefiting local charitable causes via the Oilers Community Foundation.
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest article summaries or chase specific recent developments for a particular date range (e.g., last week, last month) and provide direct citations. Also, I can offer a quick summary of the charitable impact figures the Oilers Community Foundation reports for 2024–2025, if that’s useful.
