Captain Manchester’s Magical Tombola – Christmas Special 2022 Winner

On Friday 16th December the draw for Captain Manchester’s Magical Tombola Draw, sponsored by ZenOffice, took place. This month it was our Christmas special and we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone that entered.

An impressive 1,258 tickets were sold raising an amazing £6,290 for Forever Manchester to fund and support community activity across Greater Manchester.

We are also delighted to announce that since the Tombola began in February 2017 we have raised a magnificent £147,560

The draw was made by our very own Captain Manchester, live at our Pop-Up shop!

Grand Prize Winner of £2,000

Patricia Beddow

Our Golden Ticket winner is still to be announced!

On Boxing Day we will draw a Golden Ticket worth an additional £500. We will announce the winner here on our website.

We used the following website to generate the name of the winner –https://www.gigacalculator.com/randomizers/random-name-picker.php

They say: “Our random name picker first assigns incremental integer IDs to each name you enter, then uses a robust random number generator to produce a number in the range from minimum to maximum. The RNG algorithm is cryptographically safe, results in an unbiased pick, and can be used instead of a coin, dice, or another more primitive randomizing device (which might actually be biased due to imperfect construction).”

“The random selector has been tested statistically through simulations so you can be assured it is doing its job of giving each name an equal chance of being picked on any particular draw from the virtual urn / bag of names.”

The winner will be contacted directly regarding how to claim their prize.

If you are our winner and have not been contacted within 5 days, please email us at tombola@ForeverManchester.com
