It’s for the 50/50 raffle prize is for the Oilers Aug. 7 game against the Chicago Blackhawks that saw millions of dollars raised. While they did their best, the site crashed and causing slow loading times, geo-location errors and duplicate purchases of tickets.
The foundation tried as hard as they could to update the sites ahead of the games, but it didn’t work. The foundation gave time for refunds to be issued and now, it’s time for the draw.
You can head to edmontonoilers.com/5050 right after the draw to see the winning ticket number.
