Trainee Nursing Associate, Lydia Rees, is our latest staff lottery winner. She is currently on maternity leave but found out she had won the £1,000 prize at 2am, after checking her phone and seeing a message from her friend telling her. She immediately woke her husband up to tell him - hopefully news worth waking up at 2am for!
Lydia said: "We were both so shocked. I struggle to win a pound on a scratch card, so this feels unreal!
"I've been doing the staff lottery for a few years now, I only pay a couple of pounds a month, which you don't feel coming out of your wage, but I will certainly feel £1,000 going in! With me being on maternity, it's come at a perfect time, and we will be spending it towards Christmas presents for the children."
If you would like to join the staff lottery or would like more information, search for staff lottery on the intranet.
Watch out for the big reveal in the November draw, when one lucky winner will bag themselves the annual £5,000 prize. The winner will be announced on CHFT Live, this Wednesday 6 November.
