Vancouver Whitecaps searching for fan who is owed nearly $63,000

The Vancouver Whitecaps are trying to solve a $63,000 mystery.

The team is searching for an individual who purchased the winning 50/50 ticket at its final home game of the MLS regular season on Nov. 1 against the Seattle Sounders.

The 50/50 jackpot reached $125,740 that night, but the Whitecaps say the winning ticket remains unclaimed, meaning one fan has left $62,870 on the table.

The team took to social media on Tuesday to urge anyone who bought a 50/50 ticket at the game to double-check their numbers.

“We’re looking for our winner! Nov. 1’s 50/50 jackpot of $125,740 remains unclaimed! Winning number: 100282006,” the Whitecaps wrote in a post on X.

It could be a costly mistake for whoever misplaced their ticket or forgot they purchased one in the first place. According to the team, the $62,870 prize was their largest 50/50 payout of the 2026 season.

The person who holds this winning ticket has until Nov. 14 to contact the Whitecaps by emailing 5050@wfcfoundation.com. They’ll need to provide photographic proof of the winning ticket, along with physical identification and the payment card used to make the purchase.

If nobody comes forward before the deadline, the prize money will either be added to the 50/50 draw at the Whitecaps’ upcoming Nov. 22 MLS playoff home game or donated to the Whitecaps FC Foundation, which works to expand access to soccer for underserved communities across British Columbia.
