This year, the LOROS Lottery is celebrating its 30th birthday, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has played a part in making it such a success.
Since 1996, our incredible Lottery players have helped raise more than £24 million to support compassionate hospice care across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. That's enough to fund over two years of LOROS care!
Every ticket bought, every number played and every pound raised has helped us to be there for local people and their families when they need us most.
As we celebrate this special milestone, we're reflecting on 30 years of making a difference together and the incredible people who have helped make it all possible.
Every Lottery number tells a story
Your Lottery number is so much more than a chance to win. Behind every ticket is a story of someone whose life has been touched by LOROS, whether that's through receiving care, supporting a loved one or helping to make a difference in their local community.
To celebrate 30 years of the LOROS Lottery, we're sharing a few stories of some of the wonderful people who have supported us along the way.
If you’re thinking about joining the Lottery, I’d say do it! You never know when your number might come up, but whether you win or not, you’re helping to support the Hospice, and that’s the most important thing.

I’ve experienced LOROS care personally through my family, and it is exceptional. That’s why playing the Lottery means more to me than the chance of winning. I know what LOROS does for people and their families, and my Lottery entry is another way I can help make sure that care is there for others.

I like knowing that by playing every week I’m doing something, however small, to help people in my local community. It might not feel like a lot, but it’s something I can afford to give regularly, and I think that’s better than not supporting at all.
