I started playing the Forget Me Not lottery a few years ago. I know the good work hospices do and I was particularly keen to help out local children and their families. It was a very nice surprise when I received the letter telling me I was a winner!
Marion, £750 Jackpot winner
I couldn’t believe it when I won! What a surprise! It has been spent on a new sofa and chair for our new house. I recommend everyone to join Forget Me Not’s lottery, it’s just a few pounds a year for an amazing charity, and who knows who may win next time?!
Anne, £750 jackpot winner
I am delighted to have won this – what a surprise! Forget Me Not do amazing and valuable work and I am very proud to support their efforts. I wish Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice well for the future.
John, £8,250 rollover winner
How is the money used?

3 months costs £13
£13 could pay for a child’s food for a day at our hospice
6 months costs £26
£26 could fund a bereavement session for a sibling
12 months costs £52
£52 could fund an art therapy session, helping a child to express themselves
