ST David's Hospice is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its lottery.

Set up in 1995, the Hospice Lottery has built up a loyal membership over the last two decades, with more than 200 of the original members still playing every week.

The lottery helps bring in much-needed money to the charity's coffers, but has also paid out £2,883,080 over the years.

Despite the huge mount given out as prize money, many members say they don't play for the opportunity of winning.

One winner wrote to the hospice, saying: "Thank you for sending me a cheque for winning the lottery draw. I am so glad that the lottery helps so many patients.

"We do appreciate the kind and wonderful care, with so many patients needing nursing skills"
