We had hundreds of entries for our 'Pick a Number' Cheltenham National Finals quiz on the weekend — all wanting to try and second guess the maths behind the draw numbers of each of the four section winners.

Winning number

In the end the lucky number was 38.

It was made up of the draws numbers for Fourth Section champion, Usk (9); Third Section winner, Houghton Brass (4); Second Section victors, Ebbw Valley (9), and First Section champions Goodwick (16).

Only five

Only five people got it right from nearly 400 entries — with most people opting for a total between 55 and 65.

One person went in the totally opposite direction and picked number 4 in the hope that a quartet of number 1 draws may be lucky. They weren't.

Lucky winner

The lucky winner was 15 year old Claire Millar who plays flugel and cornet for Tullis Russell Mills Band in Scotland. Claire will receive a Bb Tromba plastic cornet from our friends at Band Supplies in Glasgow.

It was the first number that came into my head — so I didn't give it an extra though and just went for itWinner, 15 year old Claire Millar.

Head

She told 4BR: "It was the first number that came into my head — so I didn't give it an extra though and just went for it.

I'm thrilled to get a chance to have a Tromba cornet — they look so much fun!"
