    The Saint Michael’s community lottery is to double its jackpot as a way of thanking players for helping it raise £200,000 a year.

    Established in 2000, money raised by the lottery helps the Harrogate hospice provide care and support to families affected by terminal illness and bereavement. 

    To mark the lottery’s 20th year, Saint Michael’s has launched a Big Thank You Superdraw with a prize of £2,020. Its usual weekly jackpot is £1,000.

    The superdraw will be held on November 4. Current lottery members will be automatically entered but newcomers are welcome to join.

    Tina Hedges, deputy chief executive of Saint Michael’s said: 

    “Regular and dependable income, such as the lottery, has never been more important, and in recent times has given us the ability to innovate and adapt to help our community throughout the pandemic.
    “It is therefore apt that we offer our Big Thank You Superdraw during a year when we couldn’t be more grateful for the ongoing support of our community.”
