BowenBoys Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Winner gets Jamie's away kit. 22 in for this. Here are the important numbers. The winner will be determined using the first prize winning Half Time Draw ticket number at the Ayr game next Saturday. Dividing this number by 22 will leave a remainder between 0 and 21. Et voila! Feeling lucky? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Punk (BB), I feel lucky. You have been such a stalwart in terms of raising funds these last few seasons. Hats off to Phil Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Jw, why do some have 2 entries? I’m sure it was mentioned a while back but can’t remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it was mentioned a while back but can’t remember We sponsored 6 players and I went for a seventh, Jamie Sneddon. This proved to be a bit ambitious, not surprisingly given the awful season we've had. However, I had to pay the club the reduced (half season) cost of £100. Each of the first six players sponsored cost £170. Each of these sponsorships raised £175. So I have £30 in the kitty and everyone who has helped sponsorship this season gets a chance of winning Jamie's top. In order to recoup the £70 extra I paid for Jamie, I offered anyone else the chance to put their name in the hat for £5. Six people came forward. They all already had an entry and they all, led by sandy, offered to pay double what I asked, which was kind. So, with me sticking in a tenner we made it to our seventh sponsorship. One of them asked to be excluded from the competition and I'm not in. So the five that have two places are those remaining. A bit convoluted but I hope it makes sense.

BowenBoys Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 The big lotto day Here is a reminder of the numbers I won't be at the game so you may well know the answer before me. This is how to work it out on your phone's calculator Winning half time draw ticket number = 12345 12345 divide by 22 = 561.136364 take away the whole part of the number = 0.136364 multiply by 22 = 3 In this example German Jag wins. If you have access to a spreadsheet app on tablet/laptop =MOD(12345, 22) = 3 Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Great stuff BB, look forward to trying to work this out at HT. Can you give me the odds on winning the actual 50-50 draw as well as this lotto too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 No I'm at work this avo so if anyone can post the winning number at half time, I'll do the working out. Subject to official verification, of course! Here is the keystroke sequence for calculation Winning half time draw ticket number = 12345 12345 divide 22 = minus (whole part of number) = multiply 22 = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Just to confirm that today's winning number was 91454. By my calculations as this is actually a multiple of 22 there would be no remainder so the answer would be 0 making elevenone the winner but I am sure Phil will confirm the winner in due course.

elevenone Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 My head is pickled trying to work this formula out. I do watch Countdown and can get 150 when there is a 100 and a 50 on the board however this is outwith the realms of my understanding. (although that could be the Guinness’s fault).

BowenBoys Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Correct. Apologies for delay with the confirmation. Congratulations elevenone! Winner of Jamie Sneddon's away kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
