Twenty players turned out for the Clear Lifestyle Support Jackpot Bowls at the Deniliquin Bowling Club on Wednesday.
The format was three bowl pairs, and at the completion of hostilities the only ones to win both their games were John Murray and Tim Dover.
It promised to be a very fruitful day for John Murray when his name was then drawn for a chance at the joker, and the $2300 cash jackpot, but his pick from the board was unsuccessful.
With the jackpot now at a mammoth $2350, and with only a few more than a handful of cards remaining, it seems that one lucky player will strike gold in the not too distant future.
Names for play on Sunday are to be in by noon for a 12.30pm start, with phone nominations also available on 5881 1348.
