Richard status…..Engage!!
I am lacking culture.
What is the rule when participating in a 50/50 raffle?
Am I a dick for expecting to take 50% if I win or do I donate it back and still likely retain my dick status?
50/50 raffle for a kid with cancer? Give it back
All else is situational.
Why would you go in 50/50? That’s like sharing your wife with a buddy…I am lacking culture.

I won it once when my son was playing college ball. It was a home game, small school. I donated it all back. Wasn’t that much. Relative won at Cat game once. Like 12k. He kept it all!
Funny enough, the hockey team I'm a fan of, the Oilers, do 50/50s all year long and they routinely get up into the millions. Always for a good cause (look up Ben Stelter), and yeah you keep your half. Its crazy to me to see the other 50/50s at different NHL rinks and they don't even get close to what it gets to in Edmonton.
Obviously from the other responses I might not know what a 50/50 raffle is…
Okay Mr Helpful, let's say it's a RMEF gathering and my cut would be $150.
How about if my take would be $5,000?
Is it the organization or the amount that defines the "situation"?

Local chapter or HQ?
Local Chapter - a $5K donation could be transformational to the work the chapter could do. If you can give that up, do so. If it's $150, take it spend it on raffle tickets or buy the banquet organizers some drinks.
FTR - it's both. Situational means just that - depending on the situation.
I have been eyeing an O/U Caesar Guerrini with a $4,999 price tag. I have now figured out a way to resolve the "situation".

Keep it.
Every big lottery like MegaMillions or the PowerBall is basically a 50/50. Since 50% of it goes to the gov.
If people get mad at you for keeping what you won... They're the assholes.
