Players can enter for £1 before the midnight deadline on Wednesday, 29 January, with tickets available online or at St Giles Hospice charity shops. The draw will take place on Friday, 31 January.

Emma Yates, Deputy Director of Income Generation at St Giles Hospice, said: "Playing the lottery not only gives you the chance to win an amazing £20,000 but also supports a vital cause.  

"Every ticket sold plays a role in helping us provide vital care and support to those who need us most. We're incredibly grateful to all our existing lottery players for their continued support but hope that new players will enter this week’s draw to win £20,000 and help to fund care."  

The announcement comes as hospices nationwide face mounting financial pressures. St Giles has provided essential end-of-life care and family support services since 1983.  

Sean Collins, whose wife Felicity died at St Giles Hospice in 2023, said: "Hospices have got to keep open - without St Giles, Felicity wouldn't have spent her final days in dignity and pain-free. I'm going to do something every year to raise awareness and money for St Giles. If everybody did just a little bit, like buying a lottery ticket, that would help."
