Meet the new face of
our lottery
Don Smith, a Day Hospice patient from Lichfield, has
become quite the celebrity since he became the new
face of the St Giles Lottery. The keen fisherman and
woodturner was photographed for the launch of the new
lottery rollover and has since appeared on everything
from leaflets and posters to the St Giles website.
The launch came at the perfect time for Don, who has Motor Neurone
Disease and has been attending Day Hospice:
“I had a fall just before the lottery relaunch and was feeling a bit flat
and down, but suddenly the phone started ringing off the hook when
friends and family saw the leaflet. It was a real boost for me and my
wife and my family are so proud of me, they joke I will be signing
autographs next!”
“I’m delighted to be involved because
coming to the hospice has really
brought me out of my shell. All the
nurses are so friendly – I love my visits.”
”I hope people will play the lottery as a way of supporting the hospice,
as it’s so important to keep it going.”
It’s a rollover!
The new rollover format was introduced in the lottery’s 20th year to
boost income raised from the lottery. The first rollover winner was
Tamworth man Nick Cross, who picked up a cheque for an amazing
£12,000. When he got the phone call from the St Giles team to tell
him about the win, Nick was convinced it was a hoax call!

“I did think it was a joke as I’d forgotten I’d signed up for it in the first
place, so it was a complete surprise,” he said. “My mum is a volunteer
at the hospice so I know just what great work the team do and the
lottery is a really easy way to support such a worthwhile local cause.”
