Over the course of the 2017/18 campaign, a grand total of £13,970 has been paid out to Royals supporters in cash prizes, thanks to the Golden Gamble draw!
At each game, supporters around the ground buy £1 tickets to be in with a chance of winning the cash prize, which is drawn out of the eyecatching Golden Gamble raffle ball during the half-time interval. And for those who miss out on the jackpot are always still in with a chance of winning the second prize of a signed Reading FC football!
It isn’t just our supporters who benefit from the Golden Gamble. Half of the money raised by tickets sold goes back to the Reading FC Community Trust, helping our charitable arm to deliver projects in our local area.
Whether it's running Soccer Schools in the school holidays, delivering educational programmes, hosting disability sport, facilitating social inclusion, or even our players dropping in a variety of sessions, our Community Trust helps change people’s lives for the better.
So a huge ‘thank you’ to everyone who has bought Golden Gamble tickets throughout the season, and congratulations to all of our winners!
If you are interested in becoming a Golden Gamble seller for next season, please email Carol Moss on cmoss@readingfc.co.uk - sellers must be aged over 16, and get a free ticket to each fixture they attend.
