Ohio State and the Cohesion Foundation will hold a 50-50 raffle during the football team's spring game at Ohio Stadium, with proceeds split between the winner and the collective.
The raffle is a soft launch for what could become a regular occurrence at football, men's basketball and women's basketball games hosted by Ohio State, with hopes to eventually expand the endeavor to the Buckeyes' other varsity sports programs in the future.
“We are beyond excited for this great opportunity to have a fun raffle for fans and also continue to fundraise to support purpose-driven NIL and our Cohesion Foundation charities,” Cohesion founder Gary Marcinick said. “Cohesion Foundation has been pairing student-athletes with Central Ohio charities for the past year, and we have seen the impact this has on not only the nonprofit they are helping but also the athlete.
At the spring game, Ohio State fans can purchase raffle tickets from sellers wearing green vests with the Cohesion logo and “50/50 raffle” printed on the front. Raffle ticket sellers will have a device allowing the buyer to complete their purchase and have their numbers printed on a ticket. The sellers will accept cash, credit and debit payments. For those looking for a contact-free option, buyers can also purchase tickets with a QR code displayed at the game.
Raffle tickets will be sold at a rate of five for $10, 20 for $20, 85 for $40, and 400 for $100, with sales set to begin on Saturday at 9 a.m. The winning ticket number will be announced in the 4th quarter., a certified and accredited digital platform that enables professional sports teams – such as the MLB's Cleveland Guardians – to create and manage high-volume raffles, will handle distributions of the raffle's pot to the winner and Cohesion.
Although 50-50 raffles are common for professional teams inside their stadiums, this will be the first time a raffle will be held in Ohio Stadium. According to
