Foundation's Grand in Your Hand Lottery returns

Foundation of Light is once again giving Sunderland AFC fans the chance to win a grand in their hand at every Sunderland AFC home league game this season. The Black Cats’ kick off a new era at the Stadium of Light this Saturday with the visit of Charlton Athletic (12.30pm kick-off) which also sees the return of the Foundation's match day lottery. And, with 23 EFL League One fixtures, the club’s official charity will be giving away an amazing £23,000 to lucky supporters this season. As an added bonus, those purchasing a Grand in Your Hand Lottery ticket will also receive 10% OFF 5-a-side pitch bookings at the Beacon of Light, the North East's newest sports, events, education and health venue. Tickets for Grand in Your Hand cost just £1 and are available from sellers located around the Stadium with the winning ticket being drawn at half time.

Our Grand in Your Hand lottery is an easy way for SAFC supporters to win £1,000 at the Stadium while supporting the Foundation’s work across the North East. Look out for our agents around the Stadium’s concourses wearing hi-vis vests who will be selling tickets up until kick off.
