Edmonton Oilers' Mega 50/50 Raffle: A Chance for Fans to Win Big

The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up for a momentous event as they prepare to draw the winner of their Mega 50/50 raffle on Tuesday. This initiative is not just about winning big but also about supporting worthy causes such as the Ben Stelter Foundation, Alberta Cancer Foundation, and Movember.

Fans Rally in Support

As the first significant raffle of the 2023/24 season, the Oilers have witnessed a tremendous outpouring of support from fans. The jackpot, currently surpassing $1.2 million as of November 27, reflects the enthusiasm of the Oilers' dedicated followers.

Ben Stelter's Legacy

At the heart of this charitable endeavor is the memory of Ben Stelter, a beloved figure within the Oilers organization and fan community. Ben, who captivated everyone with his infectious joy while battling cancer, became a symbol of resilience during the 2022 season. His presence was a source of inspiration as the team made a memorable run to the Western Conference Finals.

Sadly, Ben succumbed to cancer in August 2022, prompting the creation of the Ben Stelter Foundation. The foundation's mission is to provide assistance to families with children battling cancer.

Exciting Prizes Up for Grabs

The raffle offers more than just the chance to win the jackpot. Fans can also vie for enticing early-bird prizes, including a new Ford Bronco, tickets to a Zach Bryan concert, lower cash prizes, and various Oilers tickets and merchandise.

These prizes will be drawn throughout the day, with the grand jackpot winner announced following Tuesday night's Oilers game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Last-Minute Opportunity

For those eager to join the excitement, there's still time to get in on the action. Ticket sales for the raffle remain open until 11 pm MT on Tuesday, and fans can conveniently make their purchases online by visiting the Oilers Community Foundation's website. Don't miss out on this opportunity to support a good cause and potentially become the fortunate winner of the Mega 50/50 jackpot.
