Money Galore at the Burnside Bar!!
Posted: Sat Jul 02, 2011 11:15 amIt was money galore on Thursday night (30th June) at the Burnside Bar, Campbeltown when both the Quiz jackpot and Play Your Cards Right were won!
The Quizzy Rascals scoped first prize at the weekly quiz and then selected the winning envelope (out of eight remaining) to win a £160 jackpot!! The prize money starts off at £20 in the first week and increases by £20 each week if the winning team do not select the correct envelope. The choice of envelope in turn decreases each week until either the winning team pick the correct envelope or it gets to week 15 and the jackpot reaches £300. But don't worry if you don't select the correct envelope there is still a prize for coming first!
But to top that the Play Your Cards game, which also runs in conjunction with the Quiz, was won and local lass Aileen MacAulay scooped £500!! Play Your Cards was introduced a couple of months ago as a new feature to the evening and anyone can enter. For £1 you get the chance to scoop the money collected - if the money isn't won (and two people get a chance) then the money rolls over to the following weekend. On Thursday night with no winners for 5 weeks the decision was made that the prize money had to be won! Three unlucky souls missed out on the jackpot at the last card before Aileen's number was drawn and she grabbed the chance with both hands - turning the last card correctly and scooping the £500 jackpot much to her own delight and everyone in the bar! Well done Aileen!
The quiz is held every Thursday at 9pm in both the lounge and public bars of the Burnside Bar - entry is free and teams consist of a maximum of four. The Burnside Bar is located in the lovely Burnside Square in the centre of Campbeltown and owned by the very hospitable local couple James and Morag McLean. A warm welcome awaits you where you will find one of the finest pints served in Scotland! (And they have the Tennents Award to prove it!)
