Geraldine Manning has won a Moya Cole Hospice raffle for the second time, having initially won the Winter Raffle in 2022 and is now the latest winner of the Summer Raffle. 

Geraldine says she is “over the moon” with the win and never saw the first win coming, let alone the second. She has now won a total of £10,000 through the hospice. 

“I just can’t believe it. I got a phone call a few weeks ago and I’m still in shock. The most I ever won before the raffles was winning a pack of Jaffa Cakes. To win twice like this is just unbelievable,” Geraldine said. 

“My husband bought the tickets as well, but he hasn’t had any luck yet. They told me I had won so I went into the hospice to collect the cheque. 

We always buy the tickets for the raffle because we want to support the hospice because it’s such a good cause. My husband’s mum was cared for in the hospice. We never expected to win anything Geraldine Manning, Two Time Raffle Winner

Geraldine also donated some of the money back to the hospice following her first and second wins. 

“I said to Frank, my husband, I’m not entering it again. Then I thought, I will enter it again, of course, it’s going to a good cause. 

“I’m getting a new bathroom, and I’ve just gotten kitchen doors in as well. So the money has all gone to help me with that,” Geraldine added.
