New lottery launched for NHS funds

HYWEL Dda Health Charities has launched a new lottery to raise funds for the NHS in west Wales.

Residents across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire have the chance to win a weekly £25,000 jackpot for just £1 a week, while helping to raise funds to make a difference to patients and staff.

Players are allocated a unique six-digit lottery number, which will remain theirs for as long as they wish to keep playing.

Every Friday, a number is drawn at random and if three, four, five or all six digits are matched in the correct place in the sequence, then you are a winner.

Match six digits and the weekly prize jackpot is £25,000.

Match five digits to win £1,000 or four digits to win £25. And a three-digit match gives five free entries into the next draw.

Hywel Dda Health Charities’ fundraising manager Tara Nickerson said: “We are pleased to be launching our charity lottery, in partnership with Unity Lottery, which will give our communities the chance to win up to £25,000 a week, while also raising funds to support our work.

“For example funding for the most up-to-date medical equipment, additional patient comforts, and staff learning, development and wellbeing.

“Health board staff will be invited to submit bids at regular intervals so that the proceeds of the lottery can fund a variety of improvements across the Hywel Dda area.

“By supporting our lottery, our communities will help us provide the little extras that make a big difference.”
