The draw for Week 8 of the Yorkshire Pride Lottery took place at Lottery HQ on Kirkstall Lane on the 9th of December 2011. We used set of balls number 12 and the machine chosen was 'Preparation YCCC'.

Hello everyone! I do most humbly apologise for out-doing myself in the slackness stakes these past couple of weeks. Unfortunately I've not been very well. I blame Dizzy for bringing in some foul Australo-Zimbabwish lurgee! Anyway, I can't let this opportunity pass without commenting on Falkie's astonishing £200 win a couple of weeks ago. I think I went as far as to predict it the week before. The Lotteries Advisory Panel has been informed!!

The jackpot continues to rise to a level that might even tempt me to veto David Ryder's plans for a new and unified Headingley monetary system. He wants to instigate a unit of currency known as the 'Colton'. There'll be 25 'Boothies' to the 'Colton'. The only downside I can see to his argument is that the money will only be useful in...er....the Colton clubhouse. I can see it getting busy in there the week after we all get paid!

Ok here are the results you've all been waiting patiently for:
