THE JOKER JACKPOT

PLAY FOR FUN, WIN BIG!

The Crucible Joker Jackpot is a unique members game created exclusively for our club, giving members the chance to win a growing cash jackpot every week.

The excitement builds as the prize fund increases — and the longer it takes to find the Joker, the bigger the jackpot becomes.

HOW IT WORKS

A game board is created containing:

  • 52 playing cards
  • 1 Joker card
  • All cards are placed face down
  • The board is covered so no one knows where any card is hidden

To enter:

🎟️ Purchase raffle tickets for £1 each

Each week:

  • The Crucible contributes money to help start the prize fund
  • Ticket sales are added to the jackpot
  • The prize fund continues to grow week after week

WEEKLY DRAW

Every Sunday evening at Crucible Newbury, a live draw takes place.

The raffle winner then:

  1. Is selected at random
  2. Chooses a card from the board
  3. The chosen card is revealed

If you find the Joker:

🃏 You win the full jackpot

If another card is selected:

💷 You still win £25

BIGGER JACKPOT. BIGGER EXCITEMENT.

Over the years, many members have won substantial prizes through the Joker Jackpot, with prize funds growing into significant amounts before the Joker is finally found.

Will you be the next big winner?

🎟️ Join the draw and try your luck this Sunday at The Crucible Newbury
