Play It Forward for the Greater Good

Where every ticket powers Maryland’s nonprofits and charitable organizations—and could change your week in a big way. Join us in making a difference by playing it forward with the Greater Good 50/50.

Why We’re Here

Greater Good 50/50 was created to give any Maryland charitable organization with nonprofit status a simple, modern way to raise funds, rally community support, and create consistent impact all year long.

This statewide weekly raffle takes the proven success of Maryland’s Firefighter 50/50 charitable gaming program and expands it far beyond first responders—now supporting causes that strengthen every corner of the community.

When you play, you’re doing two things at once:

Boosting the jackpot for players, and
Fueling mission-driven organizations doing real work right here at home.

That’s what it means to play it forward.

How the Weekly 50/50 Works

1. Buy your ticket — online, fast, and easy.

2. Watch the pot grow as nonprofits across Maryland share the word

3. One winner takes 50% of the total jackpot every Wednesday night. (We call and email the winner!)

4. One winner takes home $500 on Monday at 8p in the Early Bird Draw!

Choose Your Organization, Multiply the Impact

At checkout, you’ll pick the Maryland nonprofit you want to support and a dedicated portion of your ticket goes directly to that organization to help fund:

Community programs
Outreach & education
Equipment, supplies, or mission-critical needs
Training, services, or ongoing operational support

When many nonprofits unite in one raffle, every ticket grows the pot, while still sending real dollars back to the cause you care about.

That’s collective impact at its best.

Greater Good 50/50 Isn’t Just a Raffle—It’s a Movement

A weekly way to strengthen the nonprofits that strengthen Maryland.

A chance to win big while funding the people and programs creating change.

A simple way to Play It Forward.
