The 50:50 Ball

The 50:50 Ball is a new social economics and cooperative community building system intended to give back to the community via grassroots organizations, local campaigns, or charity. It works just like any “raffle” system, where an individual can purchase a ticket, in this case, make a donation, and enter to win a portion (50%) of the total pool. The other 50% would be going to a predetermined charity for that time period’s drawing. The winner benefits and the community benefits

The process is completely randomized in regard to listing order and winner selection.

The idea started when Powerball was nearing 2 Billion dollars. The State and the Government receive a good portion of the total winnings, and it is not transparent to where that money goes.  In fact, political scientists have said that they have yet to see the earnings make impact in the states which participate in the system.  We want to change that.  We want to be able to help our communities in need by creating a tax exempt lottery system which makes your “ticket” a donation so you can write it off on your taxes, and half of the total earnings will go directly to an organization, non-profit, or grassroots campaign directly impacting the growth of our community.  The most marginalized groups in America, are Black and Brown Individuals, and that is who we will serve and will partner with. Our world is only at its highest potential when those subjected to systemic oppression are lifted up and liberated.
