With a record sell-out Tom Shepherd, President of the Friends of Riders, made the announcement today that the Friends of the Riders Touchdown Lottery 2010 draw will take place on Thursday, September 30th.

As a result of the early sell-out, the final draw for the 1,257 major prizes valued in excess of $1.67 million will occur this Thursday beginning at 4 pm. In addition the 20 Early Bird prizes valued at $108,000 will be drawn on the same night.

All lottery ticket holders are welcome to join Shepherd in the Harvard Broadcasting Green & White Lounge at Mosaic Stadium for the draw. Ticket holders can also listen to 620 CKRM Radio for an up-to-the-minute list of winners.

The results of both draws and a list of winners will appear in the October 2nd editions of the Leader Post, the Saskatoon Star Phoenix and the Prince Albert Daily Herald. It will also be posted on the Riders website at www.riderville.com or on www.friendsoftheriders.com

Shepherd estimates a record $1 million dollars in proceeds from this year's Lottery will go directly to the Football Club's bottom line. Since 1986, the Friends of the Riders Lottery has raised over $13.3 million for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, while giving out more than $21 million in prizes.
