The minimum age requirement to play our Charity Lottery is 18 years and you must live in Great Britain.
Unfortunately, we are not licensed to accept entries from Northern Ireland, The Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.
For every £1 entry, we receive 73p to help enhance our hospitals. The remaining 27p, goes towards administration and the cost of prizes. We have recruited The Fundraising Foundry to promote this lottery and help us do more great things to support our NHS staff, patients and hospital visitors.
Unfortunately, we can’t Gift Aid lottery payments. This is because, by law entry fees into a lottery draw are classed as a purchase rather than a charitable gift. As there is something that could be received in return i.e. a lottery win. Therefore, it is not considered eligible for Gift Aid. However, rest assured that lottery entries will still go towards supporting your local hospital’s. You can see some of the types of special extras our Charity funds and the impacts our donations make to our staff, patients and to the public on our website.
The draw takes place every Saturday and the results are published every Saturday at 7am GMT on our website here.
The winning number for each weekly prize draw shall be drawn using a random number generator to determine the winner(s). The generator has been tested and approved by an independent, Gambling Commission-approved, third party test house.
We will notify winners by phone or email within 14 days of the draw date and a list of winners will be published every Saturday at 7am GMT on our website here.
If you have won, your prize will be issued by cheque or BACS, so there is no need for you to do anything. Please remember to notify us of any address changes so that you can receive your prize without any delay. You can notify us of any changes by contacting us at pho-tr.

We do have a group of fundraisers working on behalf of Portsmouth Hospitals Charity to sign up players for our weekly Charity Lottery. You will only see this group of fundraisers working in our hospitals. You should not see any people fundraising for the lottery anywhere else but on the grounds of our hospitals, and they will be easy to recognise as they will always wear branded ID badges. If you would like to check the legitimacy of a Portsmouth Hospitals Charity lottery fundraiser, you can contact us at pho-tr.
Many people may not be aware that Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust has a Charity here to raise funds that are above and beyond NHS funds to further enhance it’s services. And the lottery gives people an opportunity to donate where they could win amazing prizes. We hope the Charity Lottery provides people with a different yet easy way to help support their local NHS and make a difference by playing the lottery each week.
If players no longer want to play the lottery, Direct Debits can be cancelled at any time by simply contacting your bank or building society. Written confirmation may also be required. Please also notify us at pho-tr.
