Welcome To The Ross Family & Friends 50/50!

Ross Family and Friends 50/50 Logo

Ticket sales for the 50/50 summer series have now closed. Thanks to all of the Ross Family and Friends who are taking part!

Here’s How It Works

In this 50/50 fundraiser, half of the funds are presented to the draw winner, and the other half supports hospital needs through annual donations to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation.

In this 50/50 series, 1000 tickets were available for purchase. Draws will take place every two weeks for a total of 6 draws.

The potential prize for these draws is $2,500.00 per draw, if all tickets were sold!

Get Involved

Tickets are available for purchase from June 27 to July 28, 2022. You must be an Ontario resident over the age of 18 to purchase a ticket.

The 50/50 tickets cost $5 per ticket per draw. The cost to buy one ticket for the entire series is $30. You may buy up to ten tickets, payable in advance for all six draws. The first draw takes place August 3, 2022.

Disclaimer: Tickets will not be issued to any attempted purchases by ineligible individuals, including those under 18 years or those living outside of Ontario. In these cases, purchases will be refunded. Please read Rules and Regulations below.

When you sign up, you’ll be asked to provide your email address, and your tickets will be emailed to you. You may also provide a mailing address to receive your tickets.

What if I Win?

During each 50/50 series, a draw will take place every two weeks. If you are one of the lucky 50/50 draw winners, a member of the RMH Auxiliary 50/50 Raffle Committee will contact you to arrange the delivery of your winnings. We would also love to get a picture to celebrate with the rest of our Ross Family & Friends.

At the end of each series, we will announce the details and dates of the next series. Check this page for updates.
