On hearing that she had won first prize of a Vauxhall Corsa Life, Miss M Jackson from Oxford explained why she supports the Lifeboat Lottery: The RNLI is such a good cause. I know someone who lost a brother in a boating accident and am so aware of the valuable work RNLI lifeboat crews do.' Miss Jackson donated her prize to her niece Harriet who told us: 'It was such a surprise! I've just finished university: it couldn't have come at a better time.'The second prize, a 10-day cruise of Italy and the Mediterranean, kindly sponsored by Page & Moy, was won by Mrs Jean Clarke of Essex.
