Lucky Lesley Wins ￡9K Dream Holiday with Spond Superdraw

The first prize winner in December’s Spond Superdraw is Lesley Pirie, a Civil Engineer from Inveraray, who has won a 5-star trip to Florida worth ￡9,000. She entered Superdraw to support Lochgilphead FC Red Star 2014s, where her son Fergus is a player.?

Lesley, 41, whose prize includes ￡1,000 spending money, is the latest big winner of the Spond Superdraw, following Jess Rose from Llanelli and John Hampsey from Gourock, who each won ￡10,000 in October and November respectively.?

With two sons - Fergus and his older brother Neil - playing for the club, Lesley is a passionate supporter of Lochgilphead FC, so she was only too pleased to support their Superdraw fundraiser. Winning was a huge surprise, especially as the call came during a family meal to celebrate the 40th birthday of her husband, Gordon.?

"You can imagine the surprise when I got the text to say I’d won the luxury holiday. I couldn't quite believe it was happening until I spoke to the Spond team."

Lesley said: “I was happy to enter to support the club and, well, you never expect to win these things, so you can imagine the surprise when I got the text to say I’d won the luxury holiday. I couldn't quite believe it was happening until I spoke to the Spond team. Now, we're letting the news sink on before we decide where in Florida we want to go, and when."

Spond Superdraw is the new way for grassroots clubs and groups in the UK to raise funds, with awesome prizes on offer to everyone who enters. With many organisations facing a funding squeeze, the 100% digital fundraiser is a timely addition to the Spond platform, with 328 groups signing up in December, from Devon to Inverness-shire, covering activities from dance to rugby, scouting and football.

"We’re totally committed to creating sustainable fundraising solutions for grassroots clubs and groups in the UK."

“Big congratulations to Lesley and her family, and what a birthday present for her husband!. It’s been another record-breaking month for Superdraw, culminating in the big draw today,” said Julian Bewley of Spond. “Here at Spond, we’re totally committed to creating sustainable fundraising solutions for grassroots clubs and groups in the UK, and the best thing about Superdraw is that all members can get in on the act, working together towards a single goal, with some friendly competition to see who can raise the most money.”

For December’s Superdraw, Spond offered the dream holiday to Florida to the first prize winner, and a VIP ‘Back Room’ experience at the Wales v England 2023 Six Nations match in Cardiff for the second prize.

We set up the Superdraw fundraiser to raise some extra funds for the team, but we never expected one of our supporters to win the big prize."

Fraser Knox, the coach of Red Star 2014s, commented: "Wow! We set up the Superdraw fundraiser to raise some extra funds for the team, but we never expected one of our supporters to win the big prize. Huge congratulations to the Pirie family. I'm sure they'll have an amazing time in Florida."
