LOTTERY WINNER TO APPEAR IN TEAM PHOTO

Posted on: Wed 22 Aug 2012

Lucky Chelsea Foundation Lottery member Omar Khan has won the chance to pose alongside the first team for this season's squad photo.

Omar, who signed up to the Chelsea Foundation Lottery over a year ago has been a Chelsea fan his whole life and is over the moon.

'It was a bit of a shock and I thought it was a wind up,' said Omar after hearing of his win. 'It took a couple of days to sink in that I'd won the chance to have my photo taken with the team but since then I've been telling absolutely everybody. I've even been ringing people up that I haven't spoken to for years!'

The Chelsea Foundation Lottery helps raise vital funds for the Chelsea Foundation, which uses the power of football to provide programmes and induce positive changes in peoples' lives and their communities, address inequalities in society and boost health and fitness.

'It's such a brilliant idea to help our communities,' added Omar. 'My wife and I give a lot of charitable donations and try to help as many organisations as possible and when I found out about the way Chelsea are funding their community projects through the Lottery, I had to sign up and now I'm reaping the rewards!'

Omar will now take centre stage alongside the Champions League-winning squad when the official team photo takes place and he can't wait.
