If purchasing tickets online, you will receive an email with your raffle numbers shortly after purchase. Please check your spam/junk folders as some corporate and personal service providers black these emails. There may also be a delay in the email delivery during times of high website traffic. Any email delays do not impact your chances of winning and we can assure you that your numbers are included in the draw. If you have not received your tickets by the end of the game, please go to the Contact page to request a copy of your tickets or send us an email at blackhawks5050@blackhawks.com.

There are two types of tickets: those that are sold online, and those that are sold in-person at games. Online tickets begin with '99' and for in-person tickets, the first one or two digits represent the number of the device that produced the ticket. All tickets are valid and added to our jackpot pool, no matter what number your tickets begin with.

Raffle tickets are not tax deductible. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances to participate in raffles, lotteries, or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of the Raffle Tickets does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution for personal income tax purposes.
