Those vying for 50/50 jackpots at future Halifax Mooseheads games will have to take out their phones — or log in online at home.
The Halifax Mooseheads Charitable Foundation says 50/50 draw tickets sold at home games beginning this season will be conducted online only. Fans can take part in the draw from anywhere in Nova Scotia and do not need to be in Scotiabank Centre to claim the jackpot.
“Due to regulation changes with the Nova Scotia Alcohol and Gaming Division, all 50/50 ticket sales at Mooseheads home games will now be conducted online only via mobile device or at home, similar to the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship in Halifax,” the foundation said in a statement.

As well, the foundation says the change will align with the arena’s move towards a “cashless venue experience,” which will improve congestion during intermissions.
