50-50 Raffle ticket sellers
What we know:
Laura Goralski gave FOX6 News a behind-the-scenes look at what a regular home game looks like for the 50-50 Raffle ticket sellers. They even gave FOX6 News a 50-50 raffle ticket seller shirt to help along the way. Aside from the players, the 50-50 Raffle ticket sellers could be among the most popular people inside the ballpark. Dozens of fans stopped ticket sellers, saying it is a tradition to participate in the raffle.
Goralski spends about an hour and a half in the tailgating lots selling tickets before the game, then heads inside the park to sell. The winner is announced in the middle of the sixth inning.
All of the money raised from raffle ticket sales goes toward a pot of money, with half going toward one lucky fan who has the winning raffle ticket. The other half goes to the Brewers Community Foundation, which supports roughly 200 nonprofits across the area.
