Nethy's Nancy is in the money after hospice lottery win
Nethy Bridge resident Nancy Gordon is feeling over the moon after winning £18,000 through supporting the Highland Hospice.
Nancy won the cashfall in the Local Hospice Lottery – a non-profit organisation that runs a weekly lottery in aid of adult and children hospices across the country.
After her win, Nancy said: “I am absolutely delighted. I couldn’t believe it when I got the call. I thought it was just another telephone scam.
"Never in a million years did I think I would be a winner, it still hasn’t sunk in yet.
"I am just so pleased to have been able to support Highland Hospice by taking part in the Local Hospice Lottery – to actually win something is just a bonus.”
Cheryl Bunkle, director of marketing and account management for the Local Hospice Lottery commented: “We have been working with the Highland Hospice since 2012 and since that time, their wonderful supporters have helped to raise over £2.2m for the hospice through taking part in the lottery!
"It may only be £1 per entry to take part and play, but these contributions add up and make a really big difference to the amount of hospice care that can be provided locally and we are very proud to work with Highland Hospice and help raise this vital funding for them.
“And in addition to the Hospice winning each week thanks to the money raised, Mrs Gordon’s recent windfall shows how, as a supporter and a player, players could receive a pretty amazing cash prize too!
"We’d like to wish her massive congratulations and also the most sincerest of thanks for her very kind and ongoing support for Highland Hospice through playing the lottery.”
