Sponsor's bet on fans is no gamble

Folkestone Invicta have teamed up with new sponsors M3 Solutions to promote their club lottery.

Ryman South Invicta announced on Thursday that to celebrate the new sponsorship deal, M3 Solutions will purchase a new replica shirt for every fan who successfully introduces five other people to their fund-raising weekly and monthly draws. If anyone introduces ten new members, M3 Solutions have pledged to buy them home and away strips.

Supporters are charged £4.34 a month and officials at the Fullicks Stadium say ‘The Goalden Gate Lottery’ is raising between £450 and £550 a month, vital funds for the club which last week hailed its turnaround in fortunes only a few years after being threatened with possible extinction.

The long-established lottery has a first prize of £1000 per week with others ranging room £150 down to £25 for lucky winners. There’s also a weekly accumulator when members can select either their six figure date of birth or any other date that means something to them, as the prize money goes up by £100 each week until it is won.

Invicta say results are published on their website every week and also in the Folkestone Herald each Thursday. Application forms are available from the club shop on matchdays and at their Stripes Club.
