  • No tickets can be sold to, on behalf of, or for a person under the age of 16 years
  • The cost of each entry is £1. Players may purchase more than one entry, and payment must be in advance

  • The prizes for the Raffle are 1st Prize £5,000, 2nd Prize £1,500, 3rd Prize x 10 £100. There are no alternatives to any prize
  • We operate a combined online/offline draw ensuring that each entrant has an equal chance of winning each prize. The draw will be conducted by utilising a Random Number Generator that has been tested and approved by an independent, Gambling Commission approved, third party test house in combination with a blind draw in plain sight of staff. The results of the draw are final
  • The speed draw closing date for online entries is 30 March 2023. The speed draw closing date for postal entries will be fourteen days after we receive our first postal response to the Spring into Action Raffle 2023
  • Based upon the number of entries in our Summer Raffle 2022 the average the chance of winning a prize for a single ticket is approximately 1 in 11,918
  • We use the proceeds from our raffles and the weekly lottery to support our work, pay prizes and invest some back into the lottery so that we can raise even more. In 2022, our lottery and raffles raised £592,516 from ticket income alone, with 19% of these proceeds spent on prizes, 33% on growing and running our raffle and lottery and 48% to help people in crisis around the world. In total, that’s over £281,723, plus over £195,798 from donations, making a real difference to people in their hour of need.
  • Entries must be received by 30 May 2023

  • Winners may be asked to take part in British Red Cross PR and promotional activity
  • If a prize is unclaimed after reasonable efforts have been made by British Red Cross to contact the winner, then British Red Cross will be entitled to dispose of the prize as it thinks fit. The winner has one month after notification to claim the prize
