- The Oilers Community Foundation runs a 50/50 raffle during the season and playoffs, with jackpots that have trended into six-figure and sometimes seven-figure ranges in past years. These raffles support various charitable initiatives and frontline worker causes, depending on the campaign.[3][9][10]
- Reports and analyses in 2024–2025 discussed the raffle’s financial structure and how proceeds are allocated, including scrutiny of license/rights arrangements and payments to related entities. While some outlets highlighted large payouts to private groups tied to the Oilers Entertainment Group, the foundation and organizers emphasize that net proceeds support charity and community programs.[2]
