Money on the line: Winner of Grey Cup 50/50 prize pot yet to come forward

December 07, 2015 - 1:18 PM

WINNIPEG - It’s been more than a week since the Edmonton Eskimos won the Grey Cup, but there's another prize that's still up for grabs.

A 50/50 jackpot worth almost $180,000 still hasn't been claimed.

That's half of the total take in 50/50 ticket sales at the Canadian Football League championship game in Winnipeg on Nov. 29.

The other half goes to support minor football in Manitoba.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers website says the winning ticket number is W-551351.

If nobody claims the cash by the end of the month, the money will go back into the prize pot for next year.
