Lucky lottery winner scoops £10000!

The St Mary’s lottery was established in 1998 to support the work of the hospice. The lottery currently has over 7,500 playing members and it has become a major source of sustainable funding for St Mary’s.

There is a prize fund of £1700 to be won each week! The top prize is £1000 and there is an additional rollover prize to be won starting at £200 and peaking at £10,000! There are also 12 other valuable cash prizes.

On the 16th February 2011, St Mary’s staff were delighted to present £10000 to the lucky winner of the latest rollover, Mrs Linda Gibson. Mrs Gibson was overwhelmed when she heard that she had who won the prize in the draw, which took place on the 11th February. She said “I cannot believe it. I don’t normally win anything. I was just so excited.”

It only costs £1 a week to play the St Mary’s lottery and with the opportunity to stand a chance of winning up to £10,000 while helping a local charity everyone should join! If you are not a member and would like to join then give the lottery team a call on 01229 580305 or visit http://www.stmaryshospice.org/lottery/joining.php

The lottery runs on a secure computer software programme specially designed for the purpose. Each new player is given a unique draw number, randomly generated by the computer. A draw takes place every Friday and the winners are randomly selected by the computer.

In addition, St Mary’s is delighted to announce that tickets for this year’s superdraw are now available. Tickets will be on sale until the start of December 2011 – so you have plenty of opportunity to buy them.

All supporters will once again have a chance of winning a brand new Ford Ka or one of many cash prizes. The brand new car will be supplied by Alan Myerscough Ltd of Ulverston. The lucky winner will be able to choose his or her new Ford KA from a limited selection.

To be in with a chance of winning the car or other cash prizes, all you need to do is buy a ticket at the very reasonable price of £1 each. Tickets are available from St Mary's Hospice Ulverston, St Mary’s Hospice shops throughout the area and Alan Myerscough Ltd Ulverston.
