£4k Lottery Win For Island Woman
By Isle of Wight Radio Reporter Wed, 27 June 2012 11:20AM

An Island woman is celebrating after winning £4000 on this month's Isle of Wight Lottery.

 

Jade Kennett won this month’s jackpot and immediately booked the family’s dream holiday – a trip to Disneyland Paris.

Jade signed up for her £1 a week subscription seven years ago, through the
Isle of Wight Council payroll scheme. Jade works part time in the Schools and
Learning Division.

She said: “It is such an easy way to enter and £1 a week is such a small sum
that I don’t even notice it going out of my salary. I joined because the Lottery
is for Island people.

“I just couldn’t believe it when I got the phone call to say I’d won.

Now Jade, husband Luke and children Casey, aged three, and two year old
Troy are packing their bags for the trip of a lifetime.

The Isle of Wight Lottery creates Island jobs for Island people, and
restructured its prizes this year. There is now one weekly prize of £2,000,
which changes to £4,000 on the last Wednesday of each month; £10,000 on
the last Wednesday of July; and £10,000 on the last Wednesday of January
2013.
