Testimonial from a GivingLottery jackpot winner
"I selected My Shining Star as it is a local charity very close to my heart. I think this was only the 2nd or 3rd week of me doing the lottery as the charity has only recently signed up to it. I play because during the pandemic they lost a lot of their normal sponsorship methods so this was a way I could support them.
I would 100% recommend others sign up, it’s £1 a week with the chance of winning £25,000, easy to sign up and you are helping a local charity at the same time. I was in total shock at winning and never thought it could happen to me but it has for just £1 a week."
