During this year’s Rugby World Cup, we held a sweepstake to support our Charity Of The Year, Luton & Dunstable Hospital’s NICU Appeal.

Our staff paid £10 to pick a team at random from the hat, with the final 4 teams being given to the NICU Appeal. These were Japan, South Africa, Australia and Georgia. Half of the money raised was set aside for the NICU Appeal, with the other half being put into the winnings pot, with 60% going to whoever picked the winning team, 25% going to whoever picked the second placed team and 15% going towards whoever picked the third placed team.

With South Africa beating England in the final, this meant that the results of the sweepstake were:

1st. South Africa – NICU Appeal – £60

2nd. England – Pauline Barber – £25

3rd. New Zealand – Harry Pollock – £15

With the NICU Appeal being lucky enough to draw the winning team, this means that not only do they win the £100 cash raised from ticket sales, but also the £60 grand prize – so £160 in total! Congratulations are also in order for the runners up, Pauline and Harry.
