The Paradise Windfall has been the Celtic halftime draw since 1995/6 season. It costs £1 per ticket and someone in the crowd at each game wins the jackpot first prize, drawn at halftime.
It started off as a £2000 prize and now sits at £8000 each game in 2007/08 season.
There has been 42 different images used for the tickets so far.
