Time is running out for people living in Lichfield and Burntwood to get their hands on charity raffle tickets and be in with a chance of winning a share of a £13,000 prize pot.
The St Giles Hospice Magical Winter Raffle will see 350 lucky tickets scoop a prize, including the £5,000 jackpot.
Tickets cost £1 each and can be purchased individually or in books of 10 until New Year’s Eve.
Richard Simmonite, commercial manager of the St Giles Hospice Lottery, said: “Imagine winning £5,000 at one of the most expensive times of the year. It would certainly cover all festive expenses, and still leave the jackpot winner with plenty of spare change!
“Magical Winter Raffle tickets make a great stocking filler for anyone aged 16 years or older, and all proceeds pay for St Giles Hospice’s specialist care for local people living with cancer and other serious illnesses – so whatever your reasons for buying and whether the holder is a winner or not, both the giver and recipient know they are helping a fantastic cause in their community.
“The deadline for entries is looming, so I would urge anyone interested in giving themselves or a loved one a chance of winning a sensational cash prize to hurry and get their tickets today!”
Magical Winter Raffle tickets are available from St Giles Hospice and St Giles Walsall Hospice shops across the charity’s catchment area and from St Giles Lottery representatives, and can be requested online at www.stgileshospice.com/lottery or by calling 0845 370 6580. The closing date for entry into the raffle is December 31 and the draw will be made on January 18, 2012.
