Southampton Hospital Charity has launched a new lottery to help boost funds for patients.

For £4.34 a month players are allocated a number and every week four numbers are picked at random by a computer.

Half of the total income generated will be given out in prize money. The other half will be used to pay for extra equipment and facilities for patients at Southampton General Hospital, the Princess Anne Hospital, Countess Mounbatten Hospice and the New Forest Birth Centre.

To get involved email your details to charity@uhs.nhs.uk.
