"My wife and I were sitting enjoying the sunshine in North Bay and it was a moment of complete and utter shock to receive a telephone call telling me that I had won.
“I have shared my winnings with my children and grandchildren and have made a donation back to the hospice.
"Saint Catherine’s is a charity that does much needed and wonderful work in the community as well as the hospice, relying on fundraising to cover the costs of patient care, and I am happy to support this.”

"It costs around £5m a year to run all of our services.
"With just a third of our funding available from the government, we need to raise around £8,000 a day, so every pound counts and is very much appreciated.”
Tickets, priced at £1 each, or books of 20, are on sale now in all Saint Catherine’s charity shops – visit www.saintcatherines.org.uk/online-shop/ to order online.
