JAMIE Goodwin struck it lucky the very first time she played the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice Lottery.

The 33-year-old mum, from Thornliebank, won the £5000 rollover jackpot and was presented with her winnings by hospice supporter, television presenter Carol Smillie.

She said: "When I took the call from the hospice to say I had won I thought it was a prank call, then when I ­realised I had won we were all jumping up and down with excitement.

"My parents are both ­cancer survivors, so when I got the opportunity to join the lottery in support of the hospice I felt I was supporting a good cause.

"My plans are to take my three-year-old son on holiday to Disneyland Paris and finish decorating our house."

The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice provides care, free of charge to the people of Glasgow.

In the last five years its ­lottery has helped generate £2.134million in funds.

Derek Brown, the hospice lottery manager, said: "This is just our way of putting some fun into fundraising. Your wee flutter helps us to continue to provide invaluable care and support for our patients and their families in Glasgow."

The Evening Times is backing the hospice's Brick By Brick appeal to raise cash to build a new centre near to Bellahouston Park.

The hospice has developed and grown beyond recognition from its early beginnings in 1983 when it occupied just one Georgian townhouse in Carlton Place, Glasgow.

Today it occupies four adjacent townhouses which have been developed to create one building. Every year the ­hospice cares for over 1200 ­patients and their families.

The new building will provide a much-needed purpose-built hospice for the people of Glasgow living with life limiting illnesses, as well as those requiring end of life care.

It will see services developed to cater for patients as young as 15 for the first time.

It will also offer patients single private en-suite rooms with access to social space and landscaped gardens for everyone to enjoy.
