Christmas came early for parent carer Emma and her two disabled children. The lucky family won the massive £10,000 jackpot in the Contact’s Weekly Lottery just two weeks into December!

As a disabled person herself and with two autistic sons, Emma decided to play our lottery to give back to the community and support other families like hers. Little did she know her generosity would turn into a Christmas miracle.

Watch Emma’s amazing reaction when we called her to share the exciting news as the family were on their way to the chippy:

Emma’s seven-year-old Kaenan has ASD and severe learning difficulties. Her eldest son Kyron is autistic, has ADHD and is very destructive, meaning he needs a new bed every year.

Their unexpected earnings meant Emma was able to invest in a sturdy new bed and mattress for him, as well as several other well-deserved treats.

Her son Kyron said: “The winnings helped us get a little bit extra spoilt this Christmas! We got a Nintendo Switch and I got a nice new strong bed with a new mattress. Mummy got a new washing machine, new cooker and tumble dryer too. And we have a family holiday booked for all of us to go to Gran Canaria, which is all-inclusive with a waterpark! Thank you so much Contact for helping our family.”

We’re thrilled to see a parent carer winning £10,000 in our lottery once again and to have made yet another family’s Christmas — just like we did the year before, when mum Samantha and her two disabled girls won big just in time for the festivities.

In fact, we’ve given away more than £100,000 in prizes to thousands of families since launching our lottery in 2020. And if you join us, you could be next!

Sign up today for just £1 a week, and you’ll have a chance of winning between £5 and £10,000 every single Friday.

And by playing the Contact Weekly Lottery, you’ll be helping to fund our vital support services for families with disabled children. It’s a win/win!

Huge congratulations once again to Emma and her family! And good luck to all our wonderful players in this week’s draw.
