WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE BELL CENTRE
The Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation’s 50/50 raffles return for the 2025-26 season! Through the entire preseason schedule, take advantage of the Season-Opening Mega Raffle. Rather than awarding a cash prize during each preseason game, all ticket sales from the preseason—from both home and away games—will be combined into one cumulative jackpot. The Mega Raffle has a guaranteed minimum jackpot of $250,000, guaranteeing a cash prize of at least $125,000 for the winner. The draw will take place at the end of the Canadiens’ home opener against the Seattle Kraken on October 14.
Tickets are now available online at 5050.canadiens.com. Participants must be aged 18 years or older and physically located in the province of Quebec at the time of purchase.
