Second prize: £500
Third prize: £100
Plus 10 other prizes of a £15 M&S voucher
When you buy a ticket for our Big Christmas Draw for only £2 each, you support the compassionate care we give, for free, to our local community each year. You could be in with a chance of winning the £2,500 jackpot, £500, £100 or any one of 10 £15 M&S vouchers.
And we will be a winner too, as you will give us the gift of care.
We still can’t believe we won!
We weren’t sure whether to believe it at first.
We’ve played the seasonal Draws for years, right back to the time when there was just one per year. It means a lot to support
St Michael’s in this way, but we never once thought we would win the top prize.”
Thank you for helping us to care
