Curling Alberta is excited to announce that Albertans will have a chance to win big every game day by purchasing 50/50 raffle tickets online during the six “Curling’s Capital” events, which will be hosted at WinSport’s Canada Olympic Park in Calgary. The raffles will kick off starting on February 19th in concert with the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, with proceeds benefiting grassroots initiatives and community curling across the province.
“We’ve seen examples of massive success with online 50/50 raffles during the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship and during the NHL bubble in Edmonton,” stated Jill Richard, Executive Director of Curling Alberta. “While we’re not sure how big our jackpots might get, this opportunity has the potential to produce a significant legacy for our sport and our local communities.”
