Congratulations to Mrs M. Dow from Banchory and Montrose man Ron Clark, who won a share of the Montrose Lucky Numbers Jackpot, collecting £2,500 each.

Run jointly by Montrose FC and Montrose Roselea JFC, the community scheme, which gives participants 3 chances to win on each £1 ticket, has paid out almost £140,000 since its inception back in 2008.

Scheme Promoter Stuart Robertson said, “We are always delighted to see big wins like this, as it highlights just how good the scheme is, both to those who play and to the local community. In the last 17 years we have raised over £180,000 to support local football and I would like to thank all those who continue to regularly buy our tickets.”
