LOROS held its annual Christmas raffle draw at Rothley CofE Primary School in memory of teacher Sarah Stonehouse, who died at the hospice last December, aged 39.
Nearly 113,000 people bought tickets helping to raise £112,862, the most money the raffle has ever generated.
Teachers and pupils drew the winning eight tickets yesterday. The top prize was a choice of £10,000 or a new Mini First car and the number on the winning ticket was 40 92
Charity bosses are in the process of contacting the person who bought it. Teacher Kate Crespin said: "It was lovely to host the raffle in memory of Sarah. She is always in our thoughts and this gave the children something positive to think about.
"They also learned how even their small contributions can help to make a difference."
LOROS lottery manager Liz Singleton said: "We're overwhelmed at the support and generosity of our communities and hope that it will long continue."
