Pointstreak 5050 is a highly automated electronic raffle system that tallies up raffle ticket sales made by roaming ticketsellers with handheld devices or through fixed kiosks. Since transactions are tallied in real-time, the size of the pot is broadcast instantly to fans through the scoreboard or through display screens located throughout the stadium. The big advantages of electronic raffling over the conventional manual 50/50 raffle are as follows:

• Pot grows and updates on displays in real-time, fueling more ticket sales
• Eliminates the need to stop sales to count transactions means more time to sell
• Greater accountability, transparency and reporting abilities for internal needs and regulator requirements
