A LUCKY person with a winning ticket in the St Richard's Hospice raffle is set to drive away in a brand new car.

People have been snapping up £2 tickets for the raffle, giving them chance of winning a new Kia Rio.

The raffle has proved popular, last year helping to raise more than £40,000 for the hospice.

Jayne Sargeant, from the hospice, said: “This is a great way to support the hospice and also be in with a chance to win a fantastic prize.

"Imagine hearing the news you have won a brand new car - if you buy a ticket that could be you."

The money raised goes towards the hospice's work providing compassionate care to patients living with life-threatening illnesses and support for their loved ones and carers.

Tickets can be purchased from St Richard’s Hospice shops around the county including at St Richard’s Hospice in Wildwood Drive.
