World Cup sweepstake with a twist

The World Cup is fast approaching ⚽️ and sweepstakes everywhere

How about a sweepstakes with a twist, here’s how it works

⚽️Send me over your name if you would like to participate

⚽️I will keep a list of names in the order they come in

⚽️ once 48 names have taken part (you can have more than one go to better your odds) £2 (a go)will be need to be sent over to me, once all paid names will be announced

⚽️ in the order the names come in, I will then have one pot of football teams. I will ask my children to pull out a ticket

⚽️ then whoever has the winner of the World Cup will have £64 and 2nd place will have £32 to spend on Usborne Books with me
