text: 50/50 Drawing The 50/50 drawing is a raffle held by each zone at each event. Zone leadership is in control of the money. It is $5 for one ticket and $20 for five tickets. Once all the tickets have been bought for that event, then a name is drawn from those who participated in the raffle. Whoever wins will get 50% of the raffle earnings and the other 50% will go to their zone. This is not mandatory- only those who wish to participate can do so. The 50% that the zone receives will go towards whatever that zone needs. It can go towards gear, future events, or even to help an active member with getting what they need. The respective zone will choose what they wish to buy and it must go before the council before any purchase is made. Once the council approves it, the transaction can take place. Otherwise, it will be denied and that zone will need to decide on something else for the funds to go towards. We will keep receipts of everything bought to make sure no money goes missing. Once a month, leadership is required to do inventory on the raffle account to ensure all the money is there and that the receipts are in order. If anything is not in order, the council will conduct an investigation and they will make sure the situation is handled accordingly
