A very surprised Mr Charles Pickett, from Kings Risborough was delighted to receive the call to tell him he had won the rollover jackpot of £10,000.
Mr Pickett has been a player in the hospice lottery for over two years and joined when one of our door-to-door lottery promoters was working in the area visiting people at home.
When asked why he chose to play the weekly lottery, Mr Pickett recognising the wonderful work that our partner charities do said: “It’s nice to do something for someone else”.
Mr Pickett plans on spending some of the money on home improvements, adding “it makes a change to treat myself”, as well as treating his family and making a very generous donation from his winnings to the partner charities.
Starting 29 August, the cost of a lottery entry will increase to £1.50.
This change will introduce more prizes and increase the Rollover prize cap to £25,000. As a result, the current Rollover prize is guaranteed to be won in the draw on 22 August 2025.
This change will help to ensure we continue supporting the vital care that our partner charities provide.
