We saw our first ever Jackpot winner scoop the £25,000 Jackpot in June and there have been more than 1800 lucky prize winners to date. 

Mrs T was delighted to receive her prize and is very happy to see the benefits going to her chosen charity – The Pink Place. Mrs T said: 

"The reason I support the Pink Place is because I was receiving cancer treatment which finally finished the end of last month. I have been playing for fun since last October. I believe everyone should play they have nothing to lose and it’s for a great community and charity.

How will I spend the money? Holiday New bathroom A car each for my sons as they are both taking lessons so that they can chauffeur me around for once. Treat my grandchildren and family members.
To receive my email I was so shocked as I couldn’t believe it at first and had to get my husband to read my email back to me."

Christine Griffiths, Fundraising & Events Manager from The Pink Place said: 

"The Pink Place, incorporating The Blue Space for Men, provides FREE wellbeing services, complementary therapies, counselling, mindfulness sessions and support to adults affected by cancer, living in Basingstoke and the surrounding area, from initial diagnosis, throughout treatment and beyond.

Support The Pink Place

Sadly, there are no NHS funds available for the holistic and wellbeing element of a cancer patient’s treatment. It’s well documented that this can form an integral part of their recovery, treating the whole person and not just the disease itself. Our charity aims to fill this gap and combat the impact on the mental health, anxiety, and isolation of those facing additional challenges due to a cancer diagnosis."

Is there a particular project or service you are hoping to raise funds for?

"Fact 1 in 2 of us will receive a cancer diagnosis and these funds will help to ensure that we can continue to offer our FREE services to more people affected by cancer, living in our community.

The lottery is a quick and easy way for local people to support our charity with the added bonus that they could potentially be a lucky winner too. 

It really is a no brainer. It’s so easy to set up and going forward doesn’t require lots of time and administration. Also, with the cost of a ticket set at just £1, it makes it very affordable for people in the community to support their chosen local charity."
