Official Rules
Youth Sports 50/50 Raffle
A Youth Sports 50/50 raffle typically occurs during every home game. Fans may purchase tickets throughout Pepsi Center from the time the doors open until approximately the start of third quarter in Nuggets and Mammoth games, and approximately half way through the second period of Avalanche games. The close of ticket sales will be clearly announced so fans will have plenty of time to participate. The winning ticket will be announced as described below, and one lucky fan will win half of the gross proceeds from that game’s raffle ticket sales. The other half (less fees and costs) will benefit CAHA and other designated charities dedicated to youth sports programs in Colorado.
