Worcestershire Hospices Lottery
The Worcestershire Hospices Lottery is your local lottery. It offers you an excellent chance to help Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre, Acorns Children’s Hospice Trust and St Richard’s Hospice to raise much needed funds.
At the same time it provides you with an opportunity to win a cash prize of up to £500 each week, or our roll-over prize which can reach £5000! Money raised will be used for the sole benefit of the hospices to contribute towards their day to day running costs.
1st = £500
2nd = £50
3rd = 60 x £5
Rollover up to £5,000.
How much does it cost & how do you ‘pay & play’
There is a weekly prize fund of £850 and it costs £1 per week to play. You can pay by Direct Debit, Cheque or Debit Card.
When you join you are issued with a five digit unique number. Providing you have paid in advance of the draw, your number will be entered into the draw for the number of weeks you have paid. Winners are selected at random by the lottery computer. The draw takes place every Friday morning at the lottery office.
How do I claim if I have won?
There is no need to claim; if you win one of the top prizes we will try and contact you by telephone. However, all the prizes are sent out automatically. The full list of winners is available from the lottery office in Worcester. Top numbers are in the local press (space allowing).
Where does all the money go?
In 2023, £412,237.00 was raised from ticket sales in our regular weekly lotteries and seasonal Bumper Draws, with 12.27% being spent on Prizes, 38.92% spent on Expenses and 48.81%* used to fund the hospices’ care of patients and their families. This translated to a fantastic £201,224.86! (Based upon the Lottery Submissions made to the Gambling Commission during the 2023 calendar year). *The percentage used to fund Hospice care for patients and families is lower this year due to a “player recruitment campaign” that will benefit the Hospices in the longer term.
