Montrose FC Captain Paul Watson’s numbers came up recently on the Montrose Football Lucky Numbers, netting him a cool £600.

Run jointly by Montrose FC, Montrose Roselea JFC and Merpro AFC, the local community scheme, which gives participants 3 chances to win on each £1 ticket, has paid out almost £135,000 since it began back in 2008.

Scheme Promoter Stuart Robertson added, “We are delighted to see big wins like Paul’s, as it highlights, for just a £1 stake, how good the scheme is, both to those who play and to the local community. In the last 15 years we have raised over £175,000 to support local football and I would like to thank all those who continue to regularly buy our tickets.”

Paul is pictured receiving his bumper cheque from John Paton from Montrose FC.
