The Rotary Club of Woy Woy will once again hold its Melbourne Cup Trifecta to raise money for local charities.
The event has been running for almost 45 years and has raised more than $250,000 for local charities and those in need on the Woy Woy Peninsula.
The club produces thousands of trifecta tickets prior to each Melbourne Cup.
Each ticket has three numbers on it and if those three numbered horses are first past the post in any order in the current year’s Melbourne Cup, the lucky ticket holder wins $800.
“We usually have three sets of different colours, and there is an $800 prize for each colour,” Club President Trevor Walker said.
“The tickets are still only $1, so there has been no price increase for the past 40-plus years.
“If you have an organisation, such as Men’s Shed, women’s art group, tai chi group, or any group for that matter, send us an email or phone 0409 457 977 and we will organise getting some tickets out to you.”
Tickets can be bought at a table manned by club members adjacent Wendy’s Ice Cream in Deepwater Plaza Woy Woy from 9am-4pm on Monday, October 30, and each day until race day on November 7 or until sold out.
