A SIDMOUTH grandmother was the lucky winner of the Hospiscare Lottery this week.

June Stubbs, 73, scooped the �1,000 prize but she has not decided what she is going to do with it yet.

"I have never won anything before so I was really pleased and especially to have won at this time of year. It was a lovely surprise," said June, who has been playing the Hospiscare Lottery since 2007.

It is drawn every Friday and you can play for �1 a week for a chance to win one of 40 cash prizes, with a top prize of �1,000 to be won every week. For more information ring (01392) 688025 or visit www.hospiscare.co.uk .
