Rebel Bounty Draw nearing final date
The Cork GAA Clubs Rebels’ Bounty draw date is nearing its final date with the cut off for direct debits this Thursday, March 11 with the January, February and March draws taking place on Thursday, March 25.
The draw, which has all cash prizes, has a first prize of €20,000 each month with a first prize in April and August of €25,000, culminating in a top prize of €100,000 for the December draw. The draw will commence on the weekend of March 27 with three draws. One major change to this draw is that entries will close on March 24. Patrons who are on direct debit in the old GAA clubs draw will automatically transfer over to the new draw and those who pay yearly we will be in contact shortly to collect same. The new format will run from January to December with an all cash prized fund of over €500,000. For less than €2 a week it’s not a bad investment considering the potential return.
Club officers will be in contact with existing members over the coming weeks. New members can join by logging on to our website or directly at the Cork GAA website. This draw is open to all and if you want to sign up you can contact the club via email to secretary. mitchelstown.cork@gaa.ie or to draw coordinator John Courtney on 087 2070344. The draw is €100 for the year and if you like you may join with a friend and half the cost. The club will be in contact with existing yearly members shortly as you will need your draw number to renew.
