A Bradford health care worker has driven off in a new luxury car after winning the top prize in a local NHS prize draw.

Grandmother-of-two, Carol Galacki, a cardiographer at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, collected her brand new BMW 1 Series Sport from foundation trust chairman David Richardson.

The 51-year-old mother-of-three from Cleckheaton said: “When I got the call to say I’d won, I was totally speechless. I’ve never won anything in my life before so to win the car is just amazing.”

She was accompanied by her partner, Brian Booth and her two grandchildren, 14-year-old Bethany and nine-year-old Courtney when she picked up her prize.

She has worked for the Trust for ten years and sees cardiac patients at St Luke’s Hospital and the Bradford Royal Infirmary. She won the prize after taking part in the 50:50 staff lottery, a staff scheme and registered charity, run by Bradford’s hospitals, Bradford District Care Trust and NHS Bradford and Airedale.

Staff donate at least £1 a month to the lottery and cash prizes of £1,000 are handed out every month.

The draw also gives away a holiday every summer and a car at Christmas.
