For some reason I thought of these things a few minutes ago while sitting on the bus and wondered whether they still exist.

Does anyone have a local paper that still has one? Has anyone every won anything on one? When I was little my Grandmother won 4 tickets to the summer show on the Palace Pier in Brighton!

Any random musings welcome...

And remember, in all cases the editor's decision is final.

Is it like the "Spot The Bulge" - its far more interesting and entertaining

I think it was killed off when That's Life did an Expose which proved that the accuracy of the cross required was less than the width of the mark a ball point pen made on the paper.

Certainly I've never seen one since

I'm fairly certain that the (Southern) Daily Echo still does one. As Laurie says, the accuracy required is phenomenal - they often printed photos of people winning the runners-up prize, yet the jackpot continued to grow because no-one got it exactly right.

Is it a bit like people doing the pools? Does anyone still do them? Does Grandstand still declare how many score draws and no score draws there were?

Grandstand! Dear boy you're behing the times, the programme is called Final Score, and to answer your question, yes, they still report the pool score draws and 0 score draws
