BLACKBALL is the game where tickets are purchased for £1 on Friday nights. All of the tickets sold are put into the draw, held at around 8.30pm.
The lucky ticket holder meets the drawmaster, and upon showing their winning ticket and membership card, will have the opportunity to play BLACKBALL.
Snooker balls are put into a bag. The lucky member picks one ball (without looking!) and they win the cash prize that corresponds to the ball chosen. It's £10 per point, so a red is worth £10, but a blue would be worth £50.
If that ball happens to be the black ball, that member wins BLACKBALL and the jackpot! If the black ball is not chosen, we have a rollover. The ball selected by the member is excluded for the following draw (except at 50/50 (see below)).
We start with 21 balls. The jackpot is at least £200, more recently starting at £500. Where BLACKBALL is not won, the jackpot increases for the following game, by an amount related to the amount of tickets that have been sold that week, plus the balls in the bag reduce. So the prize increases and your odds of winning BLACKBALL improve.
50/50 - If there are just two balls left and the black is not chosen, ALL of the balls go back into the bag the following week, although the jackpot will of course be much, much higher.
This game cycle continues until BLACKBALL is won. The jackpot has no upper limit.
