The only three-game winners were Craig Hillier and John Murray, with a whopping plus 46 shot differential.

This was only one shot short of the best ever score since the inception of this competition, with Col Knuckey and Tony King holding the record with plus 47.

Joanne Bovell, who is the driving force and mainstay of this long running event, then had her name drawn for a chance at the $1350 cash jackpot.

She asked Fred Lowry to choose a card for her, but unfortunately he was unable to nab the elusive joker.

This leaves $1400 up for grabs for one lucky bowler after play tomorrow.

Names are to be in by 12.30pm for a 1pm start. Phone registrations can be called through to 5881 1348.
