The 50/50 raffles administered by BIAPH are licensed by the Alcohol Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) where individuals purchase ticket(s) for the opportunity to win 50% of the total money raised through the sale of 50/50 tickets.
The remaining 50% of the proceeds from our 50/50 fundraiser go directly to support BIAPH’s charitable programming. Your participation not only gives you a chance to win but also contributes significantly to our mission of making a positive impact on the lives of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) survivors.

If you meet the following criteria, you are eligible to purchase 50/50 raffle tickets:
Note: Prior to the purchase of a ticket, you will be required to verify your eligibility and that your information is complete and accurate.
To gift the tickets, simply input the recipient’s details in the ‘Personal Information’ section and your payment information in the ‘Payment Information’ section. If you prefer to personally present the tickets, provide your email address. This way, you can receive the tickets via email, allowing you to print and give them to the recipient in person.
The odds of winning the prize are based on the number of tickets sold. There is no limit to the number of tickets that may be sold.
A unique winning number is randomly generated and issued by the electronic 50/50 system out of the numbers purchased for each particular draw. The mechanism for selecting the winning number is a computer-based random number generator that has been certified by AGCO.
Sales for 50/50 tickets conclude at the start of the second period during hockey games where a draw is planned. Furthermore, the winning 50/50 numbers are drawn and announced by the conclusion of the third period for these designated hockey games. All winning numbers will be published online. To stay informed about specific draw schedules, we strongly encourage you to check the ‘Rules’ section, where the draw schedule is posted. You can also find it on our website at www.biaph.com.
If you have one of the winning 50/50 numbers, please contact BIAPH at admin@biaph.com.

As per the AGCO, prizes must be claimed within 6 months of the date of the draw. If at the expiry of six (6) months the prize has not been claimed, the prize monies will be donated by the Brain Injury Association of Peel & Halton to a beneficiary approved in advance by the Registrar.
Upon ticket validation, the winner will be paid the winning amount by cheque. To facilitate online ticket validation, the winner will present the email or electronic ticket when claiming the prize. For printed tickets, only the original ticket will be accepted, no copies or facsimile (i.e., photo) will be accepted. The winner must also present valid government-issued photo identification to claim their prize. It’s important to note that all winning tickets must remain unaltered and in their original condition. Therefore, BIAPH retains the right to withhold winnings if a ticket is found to have been reproduced or modified.
Note: All ticket sales must be claimed by the individual named in the original purchase transaction. BIAPH is not responsible for any division of the winning prize amount to any other party other than the individual named in the original purchase transaction.
All transactions and winnings are paid in Canadian Dollars (CAD). Prizes will be paid by cheque payable to the winner.
Prize winnings will be paid by cheque after the completion of the claim process. The recipient should anticipate receiving their winnings within a reasonable timeframe, pending any unforeseen processing delays.
