Bottom of the East steps. Never managed to win but purchased a couple of tickets every game attended.

[Hibs07p]

The youth players used to sell the happy hibbie tickets around the ground back in the day. Scott Brown sold me my £1400 winning ticket in the Almond Suite, V hertz, Mixu chipped the late penalty over the bar in a 0 - 0 draw.

I can't commit, sadly, but do you know if they'll be accepting card payments? I rarely have cash and ER is a cashless stadium.

I wonder why the youth players are not doing it like they used to?

[EdinMike]

I’ve put myself forward, and I’m honestly excited to finally get myself back involved with the club having been so distant over the last 10 years or so due to work commitments over the weekends.

I’ll now happily spare an hour or more to help make everyone else experience at Easter Road what it should be !

Great stuff!

If you’re selling in West Upper I’ll be buying one from you every other week!

Well done on helping out. It seems like a really sensible initiative. Raising funds for HCF, giving fans an opportunity to forge close links with the club and opening up an option if some fans may not have been able to spare the money but can spare the time. Very good idea all round and if you are stationed at the bottom of the stairs at the West Upper I will buy one at most games I attend

The Half-Time Draw returns on Saturday.

We will have 11 sellers dotted around Easter Road concourses selling tickets by card machine only.

The draw offers fans a chance to win cash or club merchandise. Winners from the draw will be announce at half-time (prizes to be collected from West Stand reception).

Half the proceeds equally benefiting the Hibernian Community Foundation.The re-introduction of the Happy Hibee Draw will enable the Foundation to continue to support and provide for the local community with various outreach programmes.

Looking forward to restarting what's now a near 30 year losing run!

[Pete70]

Happy days. Always bought 2 at every game and I’ve been lucky enough to win it twice.

How much are the tickets?

[Godsahibby]

Something about the half time hibee to complete a match day!

[Pretty Boy]

£2 a pop.

Sellers are going to be in a fixed location every week across each stand. They'll have a desk at a set point so won't be like the last days of the old draws when you had to search them out.

Hopefully it's a big success.

[hibee-boys]

Many happy memories of my old man getting me a Happy Hibee ticket, never won a bean but the excitement of what might be was enough! Quite often the draw at halftime was the highlight of the day back then…..might still be😳😂 I’ll be looking out for the sellers tomorrow👍

[EdinMike]

Get yourself a ticket or two tomorrow, and I’m hoping to see a few familiar faces ! Hoping and pretty sure the whole process will go smoothly !

[One Day]

Looking forward to restarting what's now a near 30 year losing run!

Me too. not even close

[SickBoy32]

Glad this has made a comeback.

Would be good if we could buy these online in advance of the game too (this functionality was available during the pandemic)

I’d like to think if the demand from hibbys abroad was feeable ,hibs would make it possible

[Helensburghhibs]

I used to sell it in the ff lower as a youth player. My favourite moment when I sold a fivers worth to my old man..... If he hadnt been so tight fisted and bough 10 he would have won almost 2grand 😂

[DaveF]

No sign of a seller in the upper west concourse, or at the bottom of the stairs as your enter so I never took part.

[Chorley Hibee]

What were the winning numbers today?

[sleeping giant]

Didn't see anyone selling them in west lower.

[Itsnoteasy]

What were the winning numbers today?

Winners were meant to be announced at half time

[BoomtownHibees]

They were

Sure the winning number of the main prize was 00777

[cameronw-hfc]

After about 8 years of not going due to financial reasons I was there today selling tickets in the east and thought it was brilliant.

Really really good of the Hibs community foundation guys to offer season tickets never mind having them sorted and ready for the game on a few days notice.

[HibeeMackenzie]

Good to see it back but would suggest having the desk right outside the toilets in the east isn’t the best place to be set up. In a big game with a big crowd could cause mayhem with the queues for the toilets and the draw before the game both pretty much in the same place

[scuttle]

No sign of a seller in the upper west concourse, or at the bottom of the stairs as your enter so I never took part.

Couldn't find any in both famous five upper and lower either

[Conj]

My biggest complaint was the first drawn ticket won third prize, and the third ticket drawn got first prize. Basically meaning the person who got the third prize never had a chance of winning the money. By all means, announce them third prize to first but the first drawn ticket has to win the main prize. It’s called first prize for a reason!!

[EdinMike]

Utterly sorry to hear that Dave. We are starting a new system and a new way of processing things. There should be everyone with community jumpers (Bright Purple) every weeks and tables set up. Usually at the the same place every home home.

I feel like it will be much more streamlined next home game. Personally I had no issues dealing with it and I’d be happy to take any info

I was down the stairs and missed the draw, apart from hearing one number that wasn't mine. Are you saying I might have come third but be the big winner?

[Chuck Rhoades]

Does anyone have the results?

More a comment than a gripe. It's week 1, and these things happen. If it's deemed appropriate by health and safety, then the bottom of the stairwell when people enter the turnstiles or even halfway upstairs would be ideal.

[Pretty Boy]

I didn't see anyone in the FF upper either and walked the length of the concourse to look.

I was a fair bit later in yesterday that I usually am (about 2.50) so wondered if the sellers had packed up so they didn't miss the start of the match, which would be fair enough.

[Jay]

I got one in the West Lower . I'd been looking for someone at a table but there was no table - I'm easily confused :greengrin

Guy was where they always used to sell them. Kinda halfway between the turnstile and the food bit towards the side of the men's toilets.

[linlithgowhibbie]

They were

Sure the winning number of the main prize was 00777

Hope it wasn't, I bought 00771 and looked and thought 00777 would have been better, serves me right for not going and getting another!:wink:

[Pete70]

I got 1 in the west lower. Barrie did the draw on the pitch at HT and the numbers were shown on the big screens. I think the 1st prize winner was 00777. Can’t remember the 2nd. The 3rd was 01021. I had 01014.

That might have been me as my table went walkies that afternoon, should be set up properly next game !

[EdinMike]

Again any information or feedback would be grateful in making the process smoother, there are a lot of H&S and fire regulations you have to adhere to, violations with placement of tables and positions of people.

But I’m more than welcome to take in any gripes and comments and work with them, that’s why I’m here and part of the process.

Bought a couple of tickets on Saturday but cant find the winning numbers anywhere online. Would it be possible to put the numbers and prizes on here?

Noted that the winning numbers should be announced via the Hibs site or even relayed here ! Perfect example of a question or query that can easily be fixed !

For the draw itself it’s half the takings ( the other half going towards the community foundation) second prize is a signed strip and third is two tickets behind the goals for the hospitality there.

Ta.

Will there be a seller in the west upper (I'm in the section closest to the FF) for future games? If not, then I'll know to head into the lower concourse as I come in.

Hi Mike, I am sorry if I missed it but what were the winning numbers?

Ideally we will have someone in the west upper towards the FF, but in an ideal world Hibs would be top of the league right now ! That will be worked on and discussed and hopefully moving forward it won’t be as much of an issue.

“Hi Mike, I am sorry if I missed it but what were the winning numbers”

Jay covered them ! Hopefully you were one of those.

Again noted that west upper towards FF might be a hotspot that we are missing, so I’ll absolutely relay that back.

[bod]

6 oot, closest I’ve been since it started

[EdinMike]

Was probably me, if I had a Pilot cap on ( I’ll usually be wearing a hat with the purple foundation Hibs hoodie…)

My names Mike, I used to manage bars in ER so most people know my face but can’t remember a name. I get it, I’m the same. But it’s Mike.

Absolutely spot on. I noticed that as well. When HHHT Draw first started many years ago (20ish?), I went round to reception in West stand after the game to point it out. The right draw/prize sequence was in place next game.

This time round, I’ve sent an email to the Commercial/Marketing Dept pointing out the error. Only had an automated response but no direct answer yet.

Hope it’s sorted for St Johnstone game!

[EdinMike]

Hoping to see the same faces next weekend in what feels like years almost since we first trailed this !

Hoping it’s a smoother process too and I’ll pop on the winning numbers this draw coming !

[EdinMike]

Updates at HT will be available via myself once they come in ! Hope you’re all lucky today !

[Jay]

Couldn't see anybody west lower. Was in at 2.50 so a bit later though.

[EdinMike]

Jackpot- 00542
Second prize of the signed strip - 04709
Third prize of the two behind the goals - 02968

Good luck everyone !

[EdinMike]

Sorry i missed this message Jay. Where in the west lower did you enter ?? And which turnstile ? Having coverage would be great !

Not replying directly to this but I went down to the west lower first this time but didn't see anyone so went to the upper west and bought tickets there.

Is it a case of a lack of bodies that you can't staff both upper and lower at the same time?

[Pretty Boy]

I got a couple in the FF Upper after missing out the 1st week. Guy was at one of the food kiosks (which was closed). Hadn't been able to find anyone the first week but he was easy enough to spot this time in a purple Foundation hoodie.

The prize was 3x what it was the first week and even allowing for the generous sponsorship of the programme guys that still suggests a lot more tickets were sold. Communication of the winning numbers and the drawing of the jackpot first also makes it seem like feedback is being taken on board.

Hopefully all the wee teething problems can be worked through and the feedback about not being able to get tickets and so on utilised so that it can go from strength to strength. It's good to have it back.

[Glory Lurker]

Refreshed HHHTD, same old rubbish numbers. I will continue to show my disgust by buying at the next game. That'll teach youse.

[Jay]

Sorry i missed this message Jay. Where in the west lower did you enter ?? And which turnstile ? Having coverage would be great !

I looked in the full concourse in front of the food kiosks. Turnstile 17.

Could be positioning ! I know we had plenty of bodies in the west south (self included catching people going up the stairs there) will take note and make it progress next time.

Always look for the purple hoodies ! And me especially I shout !

[EdinMike]

I was turnstile 13-16 so apologies that you missed out, I’ve taken a note and hopefully we’ll have better coverage next home game !

[bod]

I was in tornadoes on Saturday & never saw anyone selling them

[EdinMike]

Bumping this thread this morning ! Make sure you look out for people wearing the bright purple Community Hibs Hoodies ! And I will make sure to post the numbers on here at Half Time today !

Good luck everyone who participates !

[GreenCastle]

Really easy to find sellers and great it’s contactless.

Well done all.

[EdinMike]

Sadly my machine went down in the west lower (towards the south) towards 3pm, so I can only apologise if you weren’t able to get a ticket from myself. I’ll add the numbers at HT when i get them !

[EdinMike]

Ticket number - 00667
Ticket number - 00597
Ticket number - 02607

Congratulations anyone who won !

[Scouse Hibee]

Bought one in West Upper concourse, delighted it’s back.

[wookie70]

Nice wee queue when I bought three at the west upper Dunbar End. Most were buying multiple tickets so hopefully a good amount being raised

[hibee_girl]

First time I’ve found a seller in the East stand today.

Will be buying every game now I know where they are :greengrin

[Jay]

Still a few teething problems I think but it's still good to see it back. West Lower ran out of tickets , waited about 10 mins or so and someone turned up with more but the girl couldn't take payment because the server was down. A full Easter road is always tough for the Internet I think. Second time I've been and they'd ran out of tickets. Don't under estimate us - we love a wee half time draw ticket :greengrin

[bod]

Paid with cash cos west lower’s machine wasn’t working.
Never heard the number cos we were downstairs at halftime ,can’t they be put on the screens when the balls out of play or something ?

[hibby6270]

They were displayed on the screens today for a short period.
