Actor's grand gesture
3:45pm Thursday 26th April 2001
ACTOR Geoffrey Palmer had luck after scooping money in the Three Hospices Lottery Draw, of which he is patron. He returned some of it.
Mr Palmer, who stars in the BBC1 sitcom The Savages and lives in The Chilterns, won £1,000 in the lottery. He is also patron of the Iain Rennie Hospice at Home. He has been subscribing to the hospice lottery since it started nearly three years ago, and says it is a fun way to support the charity.
Lottery tickets cost £1. Call (01296) 625533
