A new weekly lottery which supports the work of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospitals Charity will begin this week with the chance to win a weekly £25,000 jackpot.

The Hospitals Charity raises vital funds to support the N&N Hospital, Cromer & District Hospital and the Jenny Lind Children’s Hospital.

For every £1 entry, at least 50p comes directly to the N&N Hospitals Charity to help us improve the hospital environment, purchase the very latest in state-of-the-art equipment, support staff welfare and provide extra care over and above what is currently provided by the NHS.

When someone joins the hospital lottery a unique six-digit lottery number is allocated. A random winning number is drawn every Friday with the aim to match the winning numbers. A match occurs if your digits are in the same place in the same sequence as the winning number

To win a prize, you need to match three, four, five or six digits of the winning numbers in the correct sequence. Match all six-digits in sequence and you’ll win the weekly £25,000 jackpot with £1,000 for 5 matching digits and £25 for four digits.

John Paul Garside, Director of the N&N Hospitals Charity, said, “The funding from the charity lottery will help us to improve patient and staff experience, helping to fund equipment and support staff welfare above and beyond our normal NHS funding. By supporting the lottery you will help make a difference to your local hospital, its patients and staff.

“Everyone over the age of 18 can enter and you do not have to be a staff member, so feel free to spread the word among family and friends and share help us support the work of the Hospital Charity.”
