Saint Michael's Hospice

Saint Michael’s Community Lottery

Great odds, great cause.
There's no local lottery like it.

Exciting developments to our lottery

From 14th August 2024, the way our charity will be raising lottery income will change and we are delighted to announce that we are joining the Local Hospice Lottery!

In so doing, we will raise MORE income from the weekly lottery, which in turn means that we will be able to contribute EVEN MORE to the cost of the vital hospice services we provide to people living in the communities across Harrogate District, plus Hambleton and Richmond.

PLUS… this exciting new partnership means that supporters also have the chance to win a larger top prize and a larger overall prize fund too!

What is Local Hospice Lottery?
Local Hospice Lottery is an incredibly successful hospice collaboration that has been running since 2008. It currently supports 38 hospices throughout Great Britain through its weekly draw.

Players enter one weekly draw, with the proceeds from every £1 they spend directly benefiting THEIR local hospice and hospice care given in THEIR local community.

What are the prizes?
At present, it has £5,200 in prizes each week, including a guaranteed weekly top prize of £2,000, a rollover prize that can reach as much as £25,000, and three £10,000 SUPER DRAWS each year! So, with more guaranteed prizes for you and more money for us – it really is Win-Win!

"I won the £1,000 top prize"

Longstanding player and jackpot winner, Richard, describes how the lottery offered a special way to support the hospice each week, after we cared for his wife, Lesley;

“The 24hr care Lesley received was so impressive; The hospice was a real lifeline at a very difficult time, when we really needed it, so I had to do something to support it.

“Playing the lottery was perfect, as it was straightforward, and it has always been a bit of fun – in fact, I won the £1,000 top prize.

"The lottery also creates a steady income for the hospice which relies on donations and does so much good in our community.”
