Re: murf's FISO *Charity* Virtual Grand National Sweepstake
Yes it was. It's the only time I've ever won anything in a sweepstake, and because of what happened, the guy running it decided all the entry money would be donated to charity.

Re: murf's FISO *Charity* Virtual Grand National Sweepstake
Well run morganb!
Thought the graphics were pretty good, merging excellently into what I assume was real background footage.
None of my 4 finished....
Mrs m's 4 came 2-3-4-5. I told you she was good at this!
Shaggy.... Aso.... ouch!

I honestly thought I'd done it and actually got some money (for charity).
Roll on 2021.

Re: murf's FISO *Charity* Virtual Grand National Sweepstake
I won £19 (18-1 + stake). None of the other horses I bet on won anything though...
The rules say:
5. By entering you promise to give at least half of your winnings to a Covid-19 linked charity of your choice
So, I'll round it up to £20 and donate it to:
https://cornwallairambulancetrust.org/
(It is a medical charity so loosely Covid-19 related - hope that's ok)
wahine - I'll pm you later will PayPal details
Thanks Kylie, you've been lucky for me before

Thanks for organising murf, I unfortunately slept through the event. My virtual winnings and an admin charge ( for my incompetence) donated to St John Christchurch.

Re: murf's FISO *Charity* Virtual Grand National Sweepstake
Had a nice thank you email from the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly air ambulance today:
Thought I would drop you a quick email to say many thanks for the very kind donation of £20.00 received through the JustGiving website from your virtual Grand National win, congratulations.
So I thought I would share the thanks with murf/Kylie for organising this competition/picking the horses, and also to Potters Corner for winning, as without them I wouldn't have had my winnings to donate.
