Christine Walker from Auchinleck has won a fantastic cash prize of £1,500 after participating in the Ayrshire Hospice’s lottery draw.

The Ayrshire Hospice operates a weekly lottery draw with a total prize fund of £3,000 and a chance to win 48 prizes every Friday.

It costs £1 per week to enter with proceeds supporting the exceptional care delivered to patients and families across Ayrshire.

The local woman plans to put the money towards a trip to Butlins with her sons – and a solo trip whale-watching in Alaska.

Christine said: “It is something close to my heart as we’ve had quite a few family members affected by cancer.

“I usually do charities for a year, then I cancel them and go with someone else but this one I’ll keep on because my husband donated monthly. He had lung cancer and died in December. His treatment was great.”
