The Florida Panthers and the Panthers Foundation, hosts of next week's 2015 NHL Draft, are pleased to announce that they have adopted industry leader Pointstreak 5050 as their electronic raffle partner. 

Set to implement in time for June’s NHL Draft, the Pointstreak 5050 system will enable raffle tickets to be sold to Panthers fans through touch-screen terminals and mobile devices, enabling faster transactions, longer selling periods and automatic updates on jackpot size broadcasted live around the BB&T Center. In addition, the Pointstreak 5050 business and technical team has also developed a number of innovative sales and marketing strategies to grow the fan database and generate significantly higher pot totals.

Richard Adler, Panthers Executive Vice President of Marketing, said, “We have watched as Pointstreak clients have generated significantly higher 5050 results across the NHL. We are very excited about working together to make the raffle a greater part of our in-game presentation and to continue the Panthers Foundation’s commitment to the community.”

“When NHL teams come to us, our strongest asset is our company wide commitment to their business. From client and technical support to innovative sales and business strategies, Pointstreak works with each client as a partner and our record breaking results are testament to this commitment.” said Kevin Lovitt, President of Pointstreak 5050.
