With another cricket season just around the corner, Cranker is once again inviting members and supporters to help raise valuable funds for Hoddesdon Cricket Club by taking part in the Hoddy Saturday Bonus Ball.

The competition runs every Saturday from 7th March through to 6th December 2026, giving 40 weekly draws across the season.

How It Works

• Taking part couldn’t be simpler.
• Each participant selects a Bonus Ball number.
• If your number matches the Saturday Lotto Bonus Ball, you win a prize.
• Most weeks the prize is £25, but every fifth week the prize increases to £40.
• The cost is just £1 per week, meaning £40 covers the entire 40-week run of the competition.
• There are 59 numbers available, and many participants have already chosen to keep their numbers from last year.

Prize Structure

• Standard weekly prize: £25
• Every 5th week: £40 (marked with * below)
