$14.3 million

Jackpot will be drawn soon

With the jackpot being around $14.3 million, the winning fan will take half of that home. 

This means that the ticket holder will get over $7.1 million. 

Despite technical issues, it seems that the Edmonton Oilers' 50/50 draw is beating out the other 50/50 raffles by far. The team may be out of the NHL but at least one fan can look forward to something.
