Winnipeg Jets 50/50 presented by PlayNow.com $50,000 Sweetened Pot and new ways to win
The Jets Home Opener features the largest starting pot ever for a Winnipeg Jets 50/50 presented by PlayNow.com, starting at $50,000. Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose 50/50 draws support the True North Youth Foundation (TNYF) and its core programs, the
Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy
,
Project 11
and
Camp Manitou
, all of which serve to support and empower the potential of Manitoba youth.
New this year, the Jets will hold several multi-day 50/50 draws during select road trips throughout the season. The multi-day draws will run throughout predetermined road trips with early bird draws of $5,000 for each away game on the trip. The final day of each multi-day draw will fall on the Jets' first home game following the road trip, and the winner will take home 50 percent of the pot from all tickets purchased during that road trip and the first home game back at Canada Life Centre. The first multi-day draw takes place from Oct. 17 to 22. Jets and TNYF social channels will be the source for announcements on subsequent multi-day draws and sweetened pots. Tickets are available in-game or online at
WinnipegJets.com/5050
for both home and away draws.
Pre-game music, mingling and $6 beer
Fans can arrive early to experience the collective energy of the Winnipeg Jets fan community from doors to the end of warmup each game in one of three activated spaces in the concourse - the atrium, Red Light Bar and Observation Deck - where live DJs and the Winnipeg Jets promo team will set the stage for fun and start the fan pump-up early. Domestic beer will be featured for $6 until the end of warmup (15 minutes before puck drop) in these activation areas.
