Rather than holding draws at every home game, the jackpot usually accumulates over several games.

The winning number is announced during the third period of the hockey game and posted online.

The Wolves have also opened online ticket purchasing this year to people across Ontario.

Friday’s game against Owen Sound saw the pack win 8-1 and had nearly 4,600 people in attendance at Sudbury arena.

The Feb. 21 draw is one of two this month, with the next draw set for Feb.28.
