MADISON, Wis. -- The Wisconsin Lottery is excited to announce the Wisconsin 50/50 Raffle, a new way for players around the state to participate in a raffle, available from August 1 to September 1, 2025. The winner of this new Lotto game will receive a prize equal to half the total sales of the month-long game.

Available at all Wisconsin Lottery retailers throughout the state and at the Wisconsin State Fair for 10 days (August 1-10), players can purchase one play for $1, six plays for $5, or 15 plays for $10.

"Our Holly Jolly and May Madness Raffles have always been very popular with our players," said Wisconsin Lottery Director, Cindy Polzin. "The Wisconsin 50/50 Raffle is going to be a fun way to engage the entire state, and the most exciting part is, the more plays that are purchased, the larger the winning prize will be."

HOW TO PLAY 
• Select the number of plays you want to purchase on a single ticket. 
• Each play is a seven-digit number. 
• Plays are sold in numerical order starting with 0000001, and will print from a Lottery terminal. 
• When you receive your raffle ticket, sign the back and keep it for the September 2 drawing. 
• The draw date will not change regardless of the number plays sold. 
• Tickets must be purchased before September 2, 2025. 
• The winning number will be available at Lottery retailers and on wilottery.com the evening of September 2, 2025.

HOW TO WIN
• There will be one winner of a prize equaling one half of the total dollars played for this game. 
• If the seven-digit number exactly matches the winning number drawn, in exact order, the ticket wins the prize.

No more than 9,999,999 plays will be available for the Wisconsin 50/50 Raffle. The prize will consist of 50% of the total raffle sales. The odds of winning the Wisconsin 50/50 Raffle prize will depend on game sales.
