Question 6

What if I am being blocked on my mobile device?

Accepted Answer

If you are in Alberta but are being blocked, the IP from your mobile device may be providing an out of province address, which would block you.

Try clearing your data on the mobile browser and try again. If the device is still being blocked using the cellular network, we suggest try connecting to Wi-Fi and purchasing.

You may need to “Enable Device Location Services” to get your phone to work. You can google these instructions for the type of phone you have, or instructions are located at each 50/50 booth and with all the sellers on site.

How do I pay for my ticket?

Accepted Answer

A. Online you can only pay with a credit card. You will receive confirmation from the system and you will be emailed your ticket(s).

Accepted Answer

You must physically be in Alberta to purchase tickets online. You do not have to be on the BVJ site if you use the online system but you must be in the province at time of purchase.

Question 9

How can you ensure that someone is in Alberta while purchasing?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Are online sales and on site sales combined?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sales online and on site are combined into the same jackpot for the day.

Question 11

I purchased my ticket(s) online, but I haven’t received my tickets?

Accepted Answer

It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that they have entered their correct e-mail address when making the purchase. If the ticket purchaser has not received their ticket by 9 am MDT the day following the 50/50 Licenced Event, they can email resend5050@cre.ab.ca before Noon MDT the day following the 50/50 Licenced Event to request that their tickets be resent. They must e-mail from the same e-mail they purchased tickets with. Tickets will be resent between Noon – 3 pm MDT the day following the 50/50 Licenced Event. If you have not received your ticket, you are still entered into the draw.
