Much fun was had by all at the recent Inyoni Creek Joker Jackpot draw, despite the joker not being found.
“As the joker wasn’t found this month, someone could win R13 000 in the next round,” says Jenny Tonkin, manager of Inyoni Creek.
She explains that, in the Joker’s Jackpot, 54 playing cards are placed face down in a locked display board. There are two jokers. A draw – with a main prize of R1 000 and a chance to turn over one of the cards on the board, and two consolation prizes of R250 each – is held each month.
If the main ticket holder is present, they can turn over any card on the board – if it’s a joker they win the jackpot – if not, the prize money rolls over. If the ticket holder is not present at the draw, the first available facedown card – top row, left to right – is turned over on their behalf. If it’s the joker, they still win the prize, says Jenny.
The draws continue every month until both jokers have been found. If there is no winner, the jackpot grows.
“Thanks to Geoff from the Pier for serving the boerie rolls at the draw, they were delicious,” says Jenny.
