Before the puck dropped on the Edmonton Oilers' first playoff game of 2020 on Saturday, Oilers fan Danielle McGale was scrambling to get online to buy 50/50 tickets. They continued to Vernon, but it was the next morning when McGale checked the 50/50 draw where things got interesting. The McGales even tested their luck further, buying more tickets for Monday night's record-breaking $3.2 million 50/50 jackpot, in Game 2 of Edmonton's qualifying round series. The Alberta Gaming, Liquor Cannabis (AGLC) made this possible after recently allowing for greater fundraising flexibility with online sales of 50/50 tickets to adults within Alberta. The Oilers next game is 8:30 p.m. Wednesday night, your chance to get a ticket for the 50/50 raffle starts at 9 a.m.
