FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(1) How are winners selected ?
The winning tickets for both the Grand Prize and the Earlybird are selected by a Random Number Generation (RNG) system administered by Ascends Fundraising Solutions using all the raffle numbers sold for the draw.
(2) How will I know if I was a winner ?
The Imperial Theatre will contact you, within 24 hours, by the phone number and/or email address you provided when you purchased your ticket.
(3) Where can I view the winning numbers ?
Winning ticket numbers are displayed on our websites Imperialtheatre.net, imperialtheatre5050.net, as well as on Facebook. You can also watch our winning ticket selection video on Facebook
(4) I didn’t receive my ticket numbers after purchase but my credit card was charged. What should I do ?
We recommend that you check your Spam or Junk folders and any TABS (ie PROMOTIONS) your email provider uses. Once you locate our email, please add us to your Whitelist so that all future purchases will find their way to your inbox.
Still can’t find them? No worries. Please contact 5050@imperialtheatre.net Be sure to include the email address and full name you used to purchase the ticket. This information allows us to look up your ticket purchase and re-email your ticket information.
(5) I have been buying for months with no issues. Why all of the sudden do I not receive email confirmations ?
Email providers are constantly working to keep your information safe by updating policies and filters. Chances are, their filters flagged something within the email as ‘malicious’ content or redirected the email to what they consider a ‘more convenient’ folder location within your email. This can send emails to Junk, promotion specific folders or cause them to not be received at all. If you experience this issue, please contact us to have your numbers resent.
(6) I’m a frequent ticket purchaser vacationing in the USA. When I tried to purchase a ticket I wasn’t able to. Why ?
The 50/50 draw is governed by the Ontario Gaming Commission. The rules of purchase stipulate that you must be located in Ontario at the time of purchase. To ensure compliance, the system uses your computer’s IP address to confirm your location.
(7) Can someone else purchase tickets for me ?
We do not recommend this as it could cause a dispute if your winning number is selected.
(8) Can I purchase tickets as a gift for someone else?
While this is a thoughtful gesture, we do not recommend this. If you want to give tickets, we recommend that you give them cash or a prepaid credit card to prevent any ownership complications with the ticket.
(9) I’m having difficulties with my purchasing
We recommend that you use CHROME as your web browser. If you are still experiencing difficulties, the Box Office Manager would be happy to walk you through your purchase over the phone 519-344-7469
(10) I am unable to complete my purchase, the system is not recognizing my credit card.
Please double check that the information you entered is correct.
Make sure you are not trying to use a Debit card.
Try a different credit card.
