What is a Sweepstake
Contents
First thing first – what on Earth is a sweepstake, you ask? Well, my dear friend, it’s a simple and exciting way to get everyone involved in the Grand National hype.
Participants randomly draw a horse and root for their pick throughout the race. It’s a fantastic way to engage everyone regardless of their horseracing knowledge.
Now, let’s talk about putting together your sweepstake kit. It’s easier than you think, trust me! Here’s what you’ll need:
- A list of all the horses running in the Grand National 2023 – don’t worry, you can easily find this online once the final lineup is confirmed.
- Small slips of paper to write the horse names on. Make sure you have one for each horse!
- A hat, bowl, or any container you can find to mix the slips of paper in.
- A printable sweepstake sheet to record everyone’s names and their respective horses.
Now that you’ve got your materials, it’s time for sweepstake magic! Follow these simple steps to get the ball rolling:
Step 1: Write the names of all the horses on separate slips of paper. Fold them up and place them in your chosen container. Give it a good shake to mix things up.
Step 2: Grab that printable sweepstake sheet and gather your participants. It’s time for the main event – the horse draw.
Step 3: Have each participant pick a slip of paper from the container without peeking. Keep it organized. Write down the participant’s name and their chosen horse on the sweepstake sheet.
Step 4: Once everyone has picked a horse, it’s time to decide on the stakes – pun intended. You can choose to make this free sweepstakes or ask for a small contribution from each participant. This will go into a prize pot, which can be split between the winners. Just make sure everyone agrees on the amount and the prize distribution beforehand.
Step 5: Get ready to rumble! Gather around to watch the race. Keep that sweepstake sheet handy, and cheer on your horses! The race is over; it’s time to celebrate the winners and divvy the prize.
Will there be one big winner, or will you split the pot between the top three horses? The choice is yours! Remember, it’s all good fun.
