Would you be interested in taking part in a sweepstake for the Grand National this year?
I've done this before on another forum with reasonable success (well, every horse was chosen), and we had a bit of fun in the process.
It would work as follows...
I nominate a charity on the "Just Giving" website, this will be MacMillan.
Each person wanting a horse/bet, will donate a minimum of £2 to this page for one draw
I take the names of those who have donated, and for each I pick a horse "out of the hat" in the usual fashion.
The person who picks the winner of the race (or the highest place should the winner stay in the hat) gets a £10 Wiggle voucher.
Important notes.
1. I will never see your money, you donate directly to the website.
2. The £10 Wiggle voucher is out of my pocket. ( EDIT providing I get enough YES votes to start with, I ain't coughing up a ten-spot if you're not going to play)
If you can see any flaws in the above or see something missing, please let me know.

150+ views (not counting mine) and only 6 votes. I'll take that as a 'NO' then.
I'll have another go when the Boat Race comes up.
