Our weekly 50/50 draw gives us a steady stream of revenue that – in addition to buying food – helps pay the administrative costs not covered by donations and/or grants.

Once you register at one of our designated locations, you may purchase individual tickets for $2 each, three tickets for $5 or 10 tickets for $10. Public draws are held Wednesdays at 1:00 pm at the distribution centre and the winners are contacted shortly afterwards.

Please note that you must pay a minimum of $2 each week to activate a ticket. Otherwise, it will be considered a non-winning ticket if drawn. Your name will remain in the draw each week until you deactivate your account.

The more tickets you buy, the greater your chances of winning!

FOOD DEPOT WEEKLY 50/50 DRAW

We all have heard how it “takes a village to raise a child”, well in that same vain we believe it “takes a community to feed its hungry”.

How Does It Work?

You must be registered to play.  Register by providing your name and phone number at any of the retail outlets listed below and you will be assigned a player ID number and 5-digit ticket number.  At the start of each weekly draw, one ticket (with the player ID and ticket number on it) for each registered player physically drops into a large drum at the Food Depot Alimentaire.  Purchasing a $2.00 ticket activates the ticket in the drum providing you with a chance to win.  The purchase of a $5.00 ticket activates the ticket in the drum as well as drops two additional tickets into the drum for a total of three chances to win and a $10.00 purchase activates the ticket in the drum and drops an additional nine ticket into the drum for a total of ten chances to win.  There is no limit on the number of tickets you can purchase.  On draw day, Food Depot draws ONE ticket from the drum and identifies through the computer if the number on the ticket drawn was purchased that week.  If yes, then the person associated with that ticket is contacted and receives 50% of the amount in the pot. If no, the entire pot is moved into the following week’s draw.  All printed tickets in the drum are then removed and the process repeats itself.  You do not have to be at home at the time of the draw to win.  The winner has 12 months from the draw date to claim their winnings.

Where Do You Register and Play Each Week?

Any of the Needs convenience stores located in Moncton, Riverview, Richibucto and Port Elgin.  Other locations include:  AC Convenience, The Rite Stop, Circle K Riverview, Point Park PetroCan, PetroCan Salisbury Road, Westmount Service Station, Dieppe Shell Blvd Adelard Savoie and Shediac Wilsons Gas Stop Shediac.  Players can purchase their ticket(s) at any location.

Can Players Purchase Tickets in Advance or Online?

You are able to purchase tickets for future draws at any of the locations listed above for up to one year.  You can still purchase additional tickets on the current draw at any time.  Tickets are not available for sale online at this time.

When Is The Draw?

The draw will occur each Wednesday afternoon at 1:00 pm at Food Depot. The winner will be contacted by phone and the winning number posted on our website, Facebook Page and Twitter. The name of the winner or non-winner is posted on the terminal screen at each retail location until the next draw. 

How Do I Change My Name or Contact Information or Withdraw From The Draw?

You must contact Food Depot Alimentaire to change your name, contact information or to have your draw number suspended indefinitely; otherwise, your number will be registered and in play indefinitely.
