The draw was held on Monday and proceeds go to the Buckinghamshire-based Theatre Shed.
So many people tried to take part that the charity’s website struggled to cope.
In the end, 4,500 bought tickets.
More than 19million people watched the sitcom finale and Robert, 47, of Porthcawl, South Wales, said: “I knew it would be popular, to put it mildly.
"I thought it would be good to do something with that popularity.”
"There's a fantastic charity near to me, I've had a long association with them, so I got in touch and said, 'Shall we raffle off the script?'"
The Theatre Shed’s Alice Connor said: “Raising money like this is so imperative to help us keep going.
"We don’t get statutory funding and it’s been a tough year for us as a small charity.”
