Competition winner Kalpana Mamidi and Harris HospiceCare volunteer services co-ordinator Denise Hardy
A SWEDISH balloon landing proved lucky for a hospice volunteer who picked up a case of wine.
Kalpana Mamidi won the prize after her balloon travelled further than 999 other in the Harris HospisCare balloon race.
Ms Mamidi's balloon was found in Sweden and returned to the hospice by Rolf Jacobson, who received a gift voucher.
Ms Mamidi said: "I don't normally win anything."
The balloons were launched in September to celebrate the hospice's birthday and Year of the Volunteer.
More than £1,000 was raised for the charity.
