New mobile app connects raffle participants with live jackpots
Dec 4th, 2013 |
Toronto, ON - Pointstreak 5050, the leading electronic raffle software provider, has announced a new, free mobile app that will allow raffle participants to easily look up key information about their local raffle, such as what amount the jackpot is at and what the winning ticket number was.
The Pointstreak 5050 mobile app will allow consumers to track the draws and winning ticket numbers of 50/50 raffles at their favorite sport venues. The mobile app is also location-aware, meaning it can auto-detect which draws are geographically closest to the consumer. Curious consumers can also learn more about the benefiting charity as well as see the running total of funds raised to date and by venue.
Keith Allen, SVP of Pointstreak Sports Technologies, had this to say: "Pointstreak 5050 is excited to provide this free mobile app to the many consumers who support their local team's foundations by participating in the 50/50's. Sports franchises are embracing 50/50 raffles because they add to the fan experience while helping to raise charitable donations which support their surrounding communities. The mobile app will make following the raffles and learning about the charity they are supporting much easier."
Pointstreak 5050 currently works with hundreds of clients, including more than 40 major professional sports teams within the MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, and MLS. In addition, Pointstreak 5050 is the official electronic raffle provider of Hockey Canada and raffles can also be seen at PGA tournaments and NCAA sporting events.
Fans looking for winning 50/50 numbers can download the free app on the Apple App Store (iOS) , Google Play (Android) and BlackBerry World.
