Virtual Grand National 2020 sweepstake kit featuring the 40 runners, riders and odds as Tiger Roll seeks third successive win,,,

Millions of people take part every year in a Grand National sweepstake — and even though the famous race won’t be run this year, you can still have some fun with our kit for Saturday's Virtual Grand National. 

This year, with so many of us having to stay at home, it is a brilliant way to socialise and give everyone something to look forward to. 

So ‘virtually’ get together with friends, family, neighbours and colleagues and invite them to join your sweepstake via phone, email, WhatsApp or communication platforms such as Zoom

If you’re the co-ordinator, cut out the 40 runners on the right and put them in a hat. Then make the draw and on a sheet of paper write the person’s name next to the runner(s) they draw.

Don’t worry if you can’t get 40 people involved; you can divide the runners among the number of players. So if there are 10 of you, that’s four horses each. You could have a prize but it doesn’t have to be money. 

Each player could put in £1 per horse with prizes awarded to the first three, for example, £25, £10 and £5. If you are including your children, first prize could be a bar of chocolate or a treat. 

Then don’t forget to tune into ITV from 5pm on Saturday, with the Virtual Grand National starting at 5.15pm.
