The Grand National is just around the corner, and you've been handed the responsibility of organizing the office sweepstake. Don't worry, we've got you covered with everything you need to make this task a breeze.

To help you out, we recommend using a comprehensive sweepstake kit from The Liverpool Echo. This kit includes entries for all 34 horses confirmed to race in this year's Grand National. Click the DOWNLOAD button above to get the print out.

Here's a step-by-step guide to organizing your sweepstake:

1. Decide the Prize Distribution: A common way to split the prize money is as follows:

   • 1st Place: 60%
   • 2nd Place: 25%
   • 3rd Place: 10%
   • 4th Place: 5%

2. Prepare the Entries: Download the sweepstake kit, print out the horse names, cut them out, and fold each name slip. Place these slips into a container, such as an envelope, a hat, or even a spare toner box from the office.

3. Collect Participation Fees: Ask each participant to contribute £2 (or £5) to enter the sweepstake.

4. Draw the Names: Have each participant draw a slip from the container. Record their name alongside the horse they selected using the included tracking sheet. 

5. Award the Prizes: Once the Grand National is over, distribute the prize money according to the agreed-upon splits.

6. Consider Charitable Giving: You might also consider donating a portion of the prize to a charity, such as the Injured Jockeys Fund, which supports those in the racing community.

This simple process will ensure your sweepstake runs smoothly and everyone enjoys the excitement of the Grand National. Good luck, and may the best horse win!
