Proposition 5 On Texas Ballot Will Impact Dallas Stars Foundation

There’s a proposition in Texas Legislature today that will impact the Dallas Stars Foundation operations - and the Texas Stars, too.

The previous iteration of the legislation that allowed professional teams to run a 50/50 raffle at their games was limited only to a NBA, NHL, NFL, MLS, or MLB team. Proposition 5 that is only the Texas ballot today will expand this definition to include minor league professional teams, which means the Texas Stars will be able to run 50/50 raffles as well for their foundation.

In addition to expanding the teams that can run them, there is a part of the proposition that will allow 50/50 raffle tickets to be purchased via debit card.
