Jewish Pensioners Who Won The Pools Should Not Have Gambled According To Jewish Law

1975 , Southend-on-Sea (Essex)

Cat no. 101446

Anglia television news item; A syndicate of Jewish pensioners from Southend celebrate their big win on the football pools.

In the days before the National Lottery, the (football) pools offered members of the public the rare opportunity to win huge amounts of money from a relatively small stake. In 1975, in Southend, a syndicate of Jewish pensioners were lucky enough to receive a win, celebrating with a sing-a-long and a stroll along the seafront. However, not every member of the Jewish community thinks “the pools” is harmless fun, arguing according to Jewish law that gambling is prohibited. Judy Finnigan reports for Anglia TV regional news.
