At TGIF Dave Gardner won the 100 board, and Adie Fuller won the attendance draw, so once more it reverts to R100. Trevor Dempsey’s number came up in the key draw, but try as he may, the key would not open the box. This week’s key will be worth at least R10,000 and is a ‘must win’. Numbers will be drawn until there is a winner, so buy your tickets early.
