Four Scottish supporters, Peter and Paul Innes and John and Ross Henderson, won $10,676.90 (£8,066.45) in the Boston Red Sox 50/50 raffle. They attended a celebration event at Fenway Park after Scotland's opening World Cup match against Haiti. The group bought a $40 raffle ticket during the Red Sox game against the Texas Rangers and were surprised to discover their win. The Red Sox Foundation receives half of the raffle proceeds, and staff confirmed difficulties in recalling any winners from the UK. The winners received their check before the Red Sox played the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday.
