Sea Eagles supporter Maryanne Attard walked away from 4 Pines Park last Sunday a very happy lady after being the winner of a record-breaking charity raffle.
In a powerful show of generosity from fans, it was a significant milestone for the Sea Eagles 50–50 Charity Raffle delivering its largest ever match-day prize pool of $13,128.
For Maryanne it was a great day all round, learning of her windfall at half time of the ANZAC Round match against the Eels and later celebrating her team's 33-18 over the blue and golds.
Maryanne was thrilled to see Manly collect a fourth straight win, and over the moon when handed a cheque for $6,564.
"I'm still in shock to be honest,” said the longtime Manly Member.
On top of the great result for the team I’m just blown away with this win.

"I think the 50-50 Raffle is great way for our club to support various charity partners.”
“What an amazing day it was.”
Also receiving a generous amount from the prize pool was the Club’s official charity partner in ANZAC Round, RSL LifeCare.
How the 50–50 Raffle Works
The 50–50 Charity Raffle gives fans the chance to win a significant cash prize while supporting community causes at the same time. Half of the total prize pool goes to one lucky winner, while the remaining funds are distributed to the Sea Eagles Foundation and nominated charities.
Tickets are available at all Sea Eagles home games and can also be purchased online in the lead-up to each match.
Supporters are encouraged to look out for match-day volunteers dressed in green throughout the stadium, who are on hand to assist with ticket purchases and information about the raffle.
