WINNIPEG, MB., August 13, 2017 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the 50/50 prize pot for this Thursday’s game against the Edmonton Eskimos will begin at $100,000, with the winner taking half of the total funds.
The Eskimos crushed a CFL record last month with a 50/50 prize of $435,919.50, the result from carrying over the pot from a previously unclaimed prize.
Thursday’s game is also the annual Military Appreciation Night, which will feature a double fly past of two Canadian Forces aircrafts immediately before and after the national anthem, and a special pre-game and halftime performance by The Treble.
The Blue Bombers have won three straight and sit 5-2 on the season, while the visiting Eskimos are undefeated with a 7-0 mark.
