Essex Mark "Bonus Ball"
Fancy a flutter? Prepared to speculate to accumulate? Happy to give to Charity if you don't win? The look no further!
As announced at our Provincial Grand Lodge on 31st May, the PGM has introduced a new and interesting way to raise much needed funds for the Essex Mark Welfare Fund, by way of a Bonus Ball Competition. For once, not only will you be donating to our own, worthy Mark Charity, but this time you will get something back! Each weekly winner will receive £30 in return for their £1 stake!
If you go to the Regalia Shop, you will notice a new category on the shop front, "Essex Mark Bonus Ball" (the image shown above). You click and purchase a £10 entry; this equates to 10 weeks of a single entry bonus ball number which uses the same bonus ball as those in the Saturday National Lottery and the actual Saturday ball will determine our winner.
When you purchase the entry, a number will be allocated by the organisers (you may request a specific number but there is no guarantee of its' availability) ; once there are 59 entries, the competition starts. If your allocated ball comes up, you win £30 per week. All winners will be notified if they win and receive a cheque from the Provincial Treasurer.
The game will be administered and run by a number of coordinators who will be notified by the shop of each purchase as it is received. The game will only start when all 59 available numbers have been sold in any one week or carried over until all 59 are sold. Several games could well run in any one week if the number subscribing exceeds 59 (i.e. 118 people purchasing a chance will see 2 games running simultaneously), each game will have a different coordinator so that they are kept separate.
All monies to the Welfare Fund. Each game generates £590 with £300 paid out and a profit of £290.
