Gemmel Posted 18 March, 2011 Posted 18 March, 2011 Liverpool and Man utd have done this for years. Good little revenue spinner
simo Posted 18 March, 2011 Author Posted 18 March, 2011 Half proceeds go to the winner and half to the foundation so its not a money spinner really !
Baldsaint Posted 18 March, 2011 Posted 18 March, 2011 Hampshire cricket have also done this for years, "The Golden Gamble", very popular it is too as the proceeds go to Hampshire youth cricket development. I'll happily be ripped off every home game for a couple of quid, the one at the Rosebowl pays out a fair wedge every time.

Window Cleaner Posted 18 March, 2011 Posted 18 March, 2011 We used to have a similar venture many years ago, I always had a punt. I remember selling fruit machine tickets for the Saints Supporters Club,think they handed over quite a bit of the proceeds to the club and it's well known that the Supporter's Club (which I suppose is now defunct) kept us alive in hard times more than once.

Barry the Badger Posted 20 March, 2011 Posted 20 March, 2011 Where could you enter? I didn't see anybody selling tickets.
csh398 Posted 20 March, 2011 Posted 20 March, 2011 Where could you enter? I didn't see anybody selling tickets. I managed to find a seller in the concourse pre-match. They were not particularly obvious though. I can't find the winning number published anywhere. Unlikely I have won, but it would be nice to know. Would make most sense to announce the winning number at half time.

Bourno Posted 20 March, 2011 Posted 20 March, 2011 I don't understand why they don't announce it at half-time. Apparently they were going to do it after the game in the concourse after the player interview, winning number was then due to appear on the Saints Foundation website.
hugh Posted 20 March, 2011 Posted 20 March, 2011 There were three luverly ladies selling tickets in the Kingsland concourse before the match. I bought a ticket from each of them ......

kelkel31 Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 the winning ticket is 00731 winning £350 anyone else think £350 is a rather round number concidering the money is supposed to go 50/50 and the winning ticket for the first draw is 731?
NorthamSteve Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 the winning ticket is 00731 winning £350 anyone else think £350 is a rather round number concidering the money is supposed to go 50/50 and the winning ticket for the first draw is 731? Thinking about it for too long. Mabe it was 352 quid and that wasn't printed.

There must be some cost involved though, then the tickets would be in batch of say 200/250 with quite a few sellers so all the tickets from 001 to 731 weren't necessarily sold. Seems strange that only 700/800 tickets were sold.

Hunty Posted 21 March, 2011 Posted 21 March, 2011 I have ticket 1885, quite apt for the anniversary year, the 3 sellers in the Kingsland sold out, we took some of the last at half time.
