The New Orleans Saints today announced the successful completion of the 2025 50/50 Raffle, which generated a total of $972,575 in support of community initiatives. The program included a $25,000 contribution from Rouses Markets to Feeding Louisiana and delivered $484,000 in funding to 19 nonprofit organizations across the state. With an average regular‑season jackpot of $105,231.25, the raffle surpassed one million numbers sold and concluded with nine winners from Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Maryland, who collectively claimed $441,467.

For a decade now, the Saints 50/50 Raffle has provided meaningful support to charitable organizations throughout the region. Each home game highlights a different beneficiary, with a portion of raffle proceeds directly funding their mission-driven work.

"Our fans once again showed remarkable generosity throughout this year's 50/50 Raffle, and we are sincerely thankful for everyone who took part," said Gayle Benson, Owner of the New Orleans Saints. "The organizations we support are doing meaningful, transformative work across our state, and it is an honor to partner with them. These contributions will uplift families and strengthen communities throughout Louisiana, which is at the heart of everything we strive to do."
