There are probably only two events I participate in where I would even consider donating the winning half back.

Nope. Might make me a Richard, but money I win goes to my wife. That's how she 'tolerates' my golfing habit.

If I buy a "50/50" ticket and win, I'm keeping it. That's the deal when I bought the ticket. Period. If they were to ask me for a $5, $10, or $20 donation I'd do that instead. But they don't.
That's what bugs me. I don't mind making a donation but I enjoy gambling so a 50/50 is fun. However it loses it's fun when there is pressure to give it back.
If I ever host a charity event and have a 50/50, I will be very explicit that the winner cannot give the winnings back the day of the event. I really believe that there are a number that will not play 50/50 since the expectation is to give it back.
Do not give back your 50/50 winnings. It hurts in the long run.
Our organization does a 50/50 raffle every year and one year someone gave back the winnings and floored the crowd. Same thing happened the next year and the next.
This year's 50/50 was dismal because a lot of parents opted out. What's the point of winning a 50/50 just to give it back, right? There was also a lot of open grumbling about giving the money back. Short story short, the organizer got on stage and openly announced the 50/50 winner cannot give back the winnings. He would not accept the winnings as a donation. As soon as that was announced, people clapped and sales went through the roof.
