The lucky winner of last week's Pasque Charity lottery is unaware of their good fortune, after organisers had trouble contacting them.

Organisers of the weekly draw, held on Friday, October 3, are still searching for the winning ticket holder after the phone number on the counterfoil was unobtainable.

The winner, whose name is Scanlan, bought the ticket from The Pasque charity shop in Luton's Arndale Centre during the week beginning September 29.

A sizeable jackpot of £1,000 is at stake, for the keeper of winning ticket number 73.

The charity is keen to ensure their mystery supporter is rewarded and so are appealing for them to come forward and claim their cash prize.

The Pasque Charity, which provides hospice care for children and adults with life-limiting illnesses, has more 9,000 people playing its lottery each week.

With £1,000 up for grabs and further cash prizes from £10 to £250 for runners up, the lottery is proving to be very popular.

If you have a Pasque lottery ticket with a number 73 on it for the October 3 draw, take it to The Pasque charity shop in the Arndale Centre or call the lottery department on 01582 497814 to claim your prize.
