Someone just became almost half a million dollars richer.

To be exact: $435,919.50 richer.

A lucky football fan who bought ticket number 235466C at Friday's Edmonton Eskimos game claimed the gigantic 50/50 jackpot Saturday morning, Eskimos spokesman Cliff Fewings said.

Fewings offered few details, but said the winner would be announced at a media availability on Tuesday.

The jackpot kept growing after a 50/50 prize of $82,060 went unclaimed during the team's June 30 home opener.

This was the second time in three years the team carried over the winnings from a previous game.

At a July 24, 2014 game between the Esks and the Calgary Stampeders, a $71,732 carryover eventually led to a jackpot of $348,534. Some fans stood in line for more than 45 minutes to buy 50/50 tickets, while some even missed the first half of the game.

The Eskimos remained undefeated on the season with a narrow 23-21 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks on Friday.

The team is in first place in the CFL's West Division with a 3-0 record.
