The LOROS Lottery has been running for 22 years and in that time the players have raised over £12,000,000 for the Hospice. This amount could pay for a fantastic 22,857 days inpatient care.

Over the past 22 years we know LOROS Lottery players have joined for all sorts of reasons but playing in memory of a loved one is why 75% of you join the LOROS Lottery.

Tom, a LOROS Lottery player from Narborough told us why he decided to play.

“My Grandad Erwin is the reason I play the LOROS Lottery, I signed up in his memory.

I was three years old when he died in LOROS in 1991, I can still remember being in the Hospice and spending time in the play room with my Brother.

He benefited enormously from the care provided on the inpatient ward and had visited Day Therapy prior to his death.

The whole family are fond supporters of LOROS and we’ll never be able to thank the Hospice enough for what they did for my Grandad and all of us throughout his time at LOROS and beyond.

I know there is a draw every Friday morning and it’s nice to know his memory goes on even to this day, each time I’ve won a prize I’ve told the family and we’ve all remembered him together”

The LOROS Lottery takes place every single week with a top prize of £2000 followed by other cash prizes of £200, £150, £100, £50 and 50 £10’s. If you win, we take care of everything including your winners cheque – they’re sent out automatically.

By playing the LOROS Lottery for a year, you could pay for two complementary therapy sessions for our patients, their families or carers. If you wanted to double your chances and have two numbers, over that year you could pay for four hours of care for an inpatient.

Signing up to the LOROS Lottery is easy, whether it is in memory of someone or not – click here to find out how.
