The Edmonton Eskimos will announce the winner of the largest 50/50 jackpot in franchise – and league – history on Tuesday.
The jackpot of
$435,919.50 was claimed on Saturday and the football team will be holding a cheque presentation to the holder of ticket number 235466C, which was part of a 10 for $20 purchase.
The same amount as the prize will be divided among the Edmonton Huskies Junior Football Club, Edmonton Wildcats Junior Football Club, University of Alberta Golden Bears football team, Football Alberta and the Eskimo Alumni Association’s amateur football initiatives.
The presentation will take place at the Eskimo Team Store at Commonwealth Stadium on Tuesday at a yet-to-be-announced time.
The Esks held the Canadian Football League record previously for 50/50 with a jackpot of $348,534 in 2014.
