I would like to get an idea of if people would be interested in a fund raising idea. I saw this advertised at Altrincham yesterday and had previously thought of running it.
The idea is you are allocated a number between 1 & 49 then on Saturday night when the National Lottery is drawn if the final number drawn (The Bonus Ball) if that number is yours you win £20.
So for each group of 49 people that we get £20 would go to the winning number £29 to the dons trust. To make things easier to monitor I would need people to pay for 1 month’s draws in advance and we would have 5 draws a month, this would work out as each Saturday in the month, and if their are only 4 Saturday’s in the month we would use the final Wednesday draw of that month, an example of this would be in September the Saturday’s fall on 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th so we would also use the Wednesday draw.
You might think that raising £29 for The Dons Trust is a lot but a quick calculation and you see that the funds soon add up even if we only had 49 people taking part it would raise £145 a month or £1,740 in a 12 month period
You would be given the same number for the whole 5 draws and in any future month’s you can keep the same number or request to change your number with anyone else who wants to change all being put into a draw to reallocate the numbers, or if anybody drops out additional people can join.
If we fill the first draw I will take names for a further draws but will only allocate a number when we have sufficient numbers.
It would be nice to start this from September so if you would like to be part of this, or have any further questions please send me an e-mail on paul@itmustbedons.com and I will get back to you regarding when this will start, payment or questions that you might have.
