Hospice lottery tickets now available to buy in shops

Saint Catherine’s lottery tickets are available from 11 October 2022 to buy in its charity shops – with a chance to win up to £20,000!

The hospice has been running a lottery for a number of years which helps raise thousands of pounds towards patient care. However, this is the first time the £2 tickets will be available to buy at the till point in shops.

Tracy Calcraft, fundraising and marketing director, said: “This is a really exciting development for Saint Catherine’s. It means that our supporters, old and new, will be able to play our lottery in a new, simple way and support patient care at the same time. With some brilliant cash prizes on offer every week, it truly is a ‘win-win’ all round.”

The lottery, which was only previously available if players signed up, is £2 per play and is drawn every Friday with weekly prizes of £1,500, £200, £50, 2x £25 and 10x £10 – plus a weekly rollover from £500 up to a maximum of £20,000.

Supporter Natalie Aconley, of Malton, who recently won £1,500, said: “The lottery is a really affordable way to ensure you are regularly supporting the hospice’s vital services. The doctors, nurses, therapy team and health care assistants are very special people and make patients and their families feel so safe and comforted in their care. We are so lucky to have this service in the area.”

Natalie added that she was ‘absolutely over the moon’ to win and that the money will go towards a holiday for her and husband James.

The lottery results will be published online every week and there is still the option to sign up and pay monthly. Find out more at www.saintcatherines.org.uk/how-you-can-help-us/lottery/
