UFC and Phoenix Suns Charities will help increase the overall awareness of the 50/50 raffle by promoting the initiative to their respective fan bases throughout the state of Arizona.
Phoenix Suns Charities is the charitable arm of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns. Founded in 1988 with the mission to enhance the lives of children in need throughout Arizona, Phoenix Suns Charities distributes more than $1.5M annually to hundreds of local diverse communities impacting more than 400,000 children annually.
Raffle tickets are for sale at the following prices:
- 5 for $10
- 20 for $20
- 80 for $40
- 300 for $100

Sales will close at 10:30 p.m. MT, with the winning number scheduled to be announced at approximately 11 p.m. MT. Purchasers must be 18 years or older to play.
The winner of the raffle will receive 50 percent of the total 50/50 ticket sales, while the remaining 50 percent will go to Phoenix Suns Charities. Once the winning ticket number has been announced and posted at UFC5050.com, the winner must contact Phoenix Suns Charities to claim their prize by 5 p.m. MT on June 6, 2022.
