Claire Harper  matched all six of the numbers drawn on 30 September 2017 to win the big £25,000 jackpot, in the school lottery organised by Silverdale PTA (Parents' and Teachers' Association).

Claire bought the tickets to support Silverdale School - where she has two daughters, but where both she and her mum also attended as pupils.

“I honestly can't believe my luck; this is amazing” said Claire. “I’ve only been supporting Silverdale School Lottery since August, things like this don’t happen! I can’t even describe how amazing this feels. I am so pleased for Silverdale School. It is such a great school, all the teachers and support staff are exceptional -  so supporting the school is very important to me.”

Silverdale PTA started working with Your School Lottery only a few months ago. Tickets cost just £1 and you have the chance every week to win a smaller, guaranteed prize just for your school community - which goes up the more tickets we sell. You also get the chance to win other prizes - this term it's an Amazon Echo Dot.

Lots of people have bought tickets - staff, parents, carers, grandparents, contractors, governors. It's a great way to support the school regularly with minimal effort.
