The 50/50 Raffle Supports Fans and the Mavs Foundation

An accomplished entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience in business leadership, Randy Eastburg leads Valley Ridge Roofing & Construction as its owner. An avid sports fan, Randy Eastburg regularly attends Dallas Mavericks games.

For more than two decades, the Dallas Mavericks Foundation has been helping the Mavs given back to their community. This is done through a variety of programs, including the 50/50 Raffle. This community program was launched in 2016 and is hosted at every home game.

During each game, guests can purchase raffle tickets from 50/50 staff. Staff members are dressed in orange jackets and located at kiosks throughout the American Airlines Center. These tickets can only be purchased in person using cash from the time the doors open to around the third quarter. Each ticket that is bought counts as a single entry in the 50/50 drawing, and each one increases the size of the 50/50 jackpot that a game attendee could win.

The cost of raffle tickets ranges from $5 to $40, and winners of the 50/50 Raffle are announced during the fourth quarter of each game. Each winner receives 50 percent of the total jackpot for that game. The remaining 50 percent goes toward the programs and nonprofits that the Mavs Foundation supports.
