The D-backs Give Back 50/50 Raffle, supported by Avnet Cares, set a jackpot record with an astounding $451,138 raised during last night’s Diamondbacks game. The record was set just two months ago with $326,555 raised on June 16, and the Top 5 jackpots of all-time have happened in just the last two seasons. Half of the jackpot goes to a lucky winner with the rest benefitting the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation’s youth baseball field development and sports outreach across the state of Arizona.

“We were anticipating a large jackpot due to the magnitude of the series and the evening’s giveaway [NL Champions Replica Ring], but to see it grow to almost half a million dollars was truly awing and a huge testament to our incredible fans,” said Derrick Hall, President, CEO & General Partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks. “We are grateful to our fans who want to make an impact and to Avnet Cares for their support, as our 50/50 Raffle, which plays a huge part in youth sports development, is one of the most successful programs across all of MLB.”

Prior to 2023, the top jackpot was held for August 30, 2017, when fans raised $245,595 for Hurricane Harvey relief funds. The top five jackpots:

  1. August 10, 2024 - $451,138
