Get ready for the Grand National with the Racing Post Grand National Sweepstake Kit. Whether you’re playing with friends or organising the office sweepstake, it’s far easier to use our automated generator to allocate runners to each participant.
The Grand National is the most famous horse race on earth. Each year, 34 horses and their jockeys take on a 4-mile-514-yard course containing 30 obstacles in a bid to win £500k. Enjoy the race with friends and colleagues using the Racing Post’s free Grand National Sweepstake generator.
Simply enter the player names up to a maximum of 34 players, into the generator and we’ll automatically assign every player a horse from this year’s Grand National runners. If there are fewer than 34 participants, you will be assigned multiple horses so that there is a guaranteed winner.
A sweepstake kit is a tool used to divide up the 34 runners in the Grand National equally by the number of participants. Typically, there will be 34 participants in the Grand National sweepstake, and each participant will be assigned a horse. The participant with the winning horse wins the sweepstake.
If you’re playing with friends or colleagues at work, you may decide to place a bet on the sweepstake (£1 per entry for example), and the winner of the sweepstake will win the pot (£34). If you do not have 34 participants, usually the sweepstake is opened up to allow for multiple entries per person (2 entries = £2) and if either of those horses win the Grand National, that person will win the pot.
Whether you’re playing with friends or colleagues at work, you will need to recruit players for your Grand National Sweepstake. Keep a note of how many people are entering the sweepstake and collect any entry fees if you are playing for prizes.
Enter your name and email address into the digital generator so we can email you the final version of your Grand National Sweepstake. Be sure to opt-in to Racing Post communications to receive your confirmation email.
Input the player names into the generator (minimum of 2, maximum of 34) and click ‘generate’ to automatically assign each player to a horse running in the Grand National. If you don’t have a full field of 34 players, then multiple horses will be assigned to existing players, for example 16 players will be assigned 2 horses each. Remember, if you have some players that have entered twice, their names should be entered twice.
Once you receive your sweepstake by email, share it with the other players before the Grand National on Saturday 13th April. This way your players know who to cheer for!
