1874 is running its usual sweepstake for this summer’s European Football Championship and tickets are now on sale at a cost of £2 each.
Format
The same as previous sweepstakes i.e. based on the various combinations of two competing teams on a ticket – there will be one winning ticket (prize £100), which will have the two teams that reach the final, and five further prize tickets (£25 each) for the other combinations of the teams that reach the semi-finals. Thus, if you have a card that contains two of the semi final teams then you win a prize.
In addition, there will also be a prize of £25 for the ticket containing the combination of the worst two performing countries from the group stage (based on points, goal difference and goals scored) – so if your ticket contains two unfancied teams then you may still win a prize! It is possible for more than two teams to qualify as ‘the worst’ and if so then the prize will be shared between the qualifying combinations.
There are 276 tickets available and 7 prizes so the odds of winning something are quite good! Prizes must be claimed by producing the winning ticket within 30 days of the final match by contacting the Club by e-mail to trust@1874northwich.com , by telephone on 07975 679624 or by speaking to Guy Jewell or any other Club official.
How to Buy Tickets
Tickets will be on sale at the ground for the final two home matches (Clitheroe and Runcorn Linnets) and at the Presentation Evening on 3 May.
For those not able to attend the matches then tickets can be obtained by contacting Guy Jewell in person, at trust@1874northwich.com or on 07496 109189 and arrangements will be made to supply tickets and collect money where possible. Payment can also be made directly to the bank account – Sort Code 08-92-99, Account Number 67298321.
The sweepstake will raise valuable funds for the Club, but as it comes at the end of the season it can be hard work to get all tickets sold in time. So, if you can sell a few extra tickets to family and friends then please let me know as per the details above.
