IT'S true... an amazing £50,000 jackpot must be won in tomorrow's Daily Echo.
The maximum possible cash prize in the Find The Ball Competition is up for grabs after last week's top prize failed to be won.
And it must be won tomorrow by one lucky reader!
Southampton grandmother Mary Allcock, 70, is already celebrating after she netted the £3,100 runner-up prize in the competition.
But the pensioner has not given up hope of bagging the £50,000. She said: "I hope that you will be coming back next week to tell me I've won the jackpot."
The mother-of-four from Tunstall Road, Thornhill has been playing the game for more than 30 years.
Mary added: "I have been waiting a long time for this but it's still a huge shock. With Christmas coming up I don't expect the money will go to waste."
She will share the money with her four children, Kevin, Annie, Sharon and Denise - with whom she has been in a syndicate for years - as well as with husband Leonard, who is in a nursing home.
