Acre Mills Outpatients Receptionist Stella Gay is this month's 'third time lucky' staff lottery winner after scooping the £1,000 top monthly prize.

Stella has worked at the Trust since 2003 and has been in the staff lottery for 10 years.  She also won it twice before in the same month for smaller amounts of £25 and £50

She now plans to spend it on her retirement fund and a holiday pot.

“I’m hoping to retire at the end of the year and my holiday fund will get a boost. I felt very excited!"

The Staff Lottery is drawn on the first Tuesday of every month and climaxes in the November draw with a £5k jackpot - just in time for Christmas. You have to be in it by 5th April to be eligible so why not sign-up now?

All the proceeds after the prizes are available for bids to make your area a nice place to work or a nice place for patients.
