Wrexham couple win £5,000 through Nightingale House Hospice
Keith and Dorothy Herniman scooped the top prize in the Nightingale House Hospice Summer Super Draw.
The couple were left 'delighted and a little stunned' by the win.
Mr Herniman said: "My mother had cancer, and she had respite care at the hospice.
"You can't really express what that means.
"Nightingale House is such a special place.
"It's not the sort of thing you experience in everyday life nowadays, that level of personal care.
"The hospice offers something different, something very special."
The couple, who describe themselves as long-time supporters of the hospice, said living just down the road from Nightingale House has given them a deep appreciation of its value to the community.
They are now considering how to spend their winnings.
Mr Herniman said: "We haven't had a long holiday this year, so we're thinking about an autumn break."
Mrs Herniman added: "And I've been asking for a new kitchen for two years, so it might finally happen."

They encouraged others to support the hospice through its fundraising schemes.
The couple said: "It's a very good idea.
"This is what you can get out of it, and even if you don't win, you're supporting a cause that helps so many people."
Amanda Kinsey, lottery manager at Nightingale House Hospice, said: "We would like to congratulate Keith and Dorothy on their win, as well as the five other winners who each won £1,000, and thank everyone who entered this year's Summer Super Draw.
'Every ticket sold helps fund the expert care and support the hospice provides to people in the community who are living with life-limiting conditions, and their families."
