Newry woman Linda Kennedy has been with the Southern Area Hospice for three years and continued to work throughout the Covid-19 lockdown as a keyworker.
Linda has also supported the charity by playing their weekly lottery and she was shocked to get the news that she won the Hospice lottery rollover prize of £2,400.
“I get to see every day the amazing work my colleagues do to care for and support patients and their families so I know the money I donate to play the Hospice lottery is so worthwhile,” said a delighted Linda.
“I still can’t believe I have won £2,400 and I plan to spend it on doing up my kitchen.
“For only £1 a week I would tell everyone to join the Hospice lottery, it is so worthwhile, and you could be a winner like me someday!”
Southern Area Hospice is a local charity committed to caring for and supporting local people who have been diagnosed with a life limiting illness including cancer.
Due to Covid-19 majority of Hospice fundraisers remain cancelled or postponed but the Hospice lottery can safely continue each week bringing in a vital source of income during these uncertain times.
The Hospice lottery draw takes place every Friday and costs just £1 per week or £4.34 per month to play. The Hospice lotto guarantees three winners each week; 1st Prize £300 – 2nd Prize £200 – 3rd Prize £100 Plus, a rollover prize of up to £5,000. Winners are computer generated so anyone can win.
