The Minnesota Wild Foundation and Xcel Energy Center host an in-arena "Split the Pot" Raffle to benefit local charities, including the Minnesota Wild Foundation, at every home game during the Wild season. Raffle tickets may be purchased from the time doors open through the end of the second intermission. Fans can purchase tickets at raffle kiosks located at Sections 102, 118, Club 11 and Section 206. Roaming sellers can also be found throughout the arena. Fans may purchase single Raffle tickets for $2, three tickets for $5, ten tickets for $10 or forty tickets for $20. Fans should also look for special ticket prices on select game nights. Ticket sales are cash only. There are no ATMs at Xcel Energy Center so please plan accordingly.
The winning number, determined through a random drawing, is announced during the third period and posted online at www.wild.com/raffle after each game. One lucky winner takes home half the gross proceeds from that game's raffle ticket sales, up to $10,000. The game's designated charity will receive the remaining funds. Purchasing raffle tickets gives fans the chance to win money and create a greater State of Hockey by supporting local non-profit that support the game of hockey or are a children's medical related charity.
Raffle beneficiaries are determined by the Minnesota Wild Foundation Board of Directors in advance of each season. The raffle beneficiaries selected each season are locally based 501 (c) 3 charities in good standing, have an existing relationship with the Minnesota Wild Foundation and align with the foundation's giving which focuses on supporting hockey related non-profit organizations dedicated to growing the game and children's medical related non-profit organizations dedicated to supporting seriously ill children and their families. At this time, the Minnesota Wild Foundation does not offer an open application for organizations that are interested in being a raffle beneficiary.
