  • 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
  • Based on the estimated ticket sales and the number of prizes available in the draw, the chance of winning a prize for a single ticket is 1 in 874
  • From the proceeds of all tickets sold in the two raffles during 2023: 20% was spent on expenses, 11% on prizes and 69% was used to fund our important work
  • Postal entries must be received by 6th December. Telephone and online entries must be received by 10 December 2024
  • Late entries will be transferred to the next raffle
  • The draw will be held on 13 December 2024
  • Winners will be notified by post, email or telephone no later than two weeks after the draw date. Please keep your ticket number as proof of purchase
  • A list of winners will also be published on the website within two weeks of the draw date. These will only be in summary, for example Ms Smith from Berkshire
  • Winners may be asked to take part in Macular Society PR and promotional activity
  • If a prize is unclaimed after reasonable efforts have been made by Macular Society to contact the winner, then Macular Society will be entitled to dispose of the prize as it thinks fit. The winner has one month after notification to claim the prize
  • The Macular Society policies for raffles can be found here. This includes our policy on responsible gambling, underage gambling, protection of customer funds and our complaints procedure
  • Due to legal reasons, all tickets sent to supporters in Northern Ireland must be purchased by the named individual and are not allowed to be sold on to family and friends or other individuals
  • Macular Society weekly lottery players automatically get one entry into the Macular Society Raffle Superdraw for a chance to win the prizes listed above, which will take place instead of the usual weekly lottery draw that week. So if you have two lottery lines, you’ll receive two entries into each raffle superdraw

Online entries

  • To enter the online raffle an entrant must self-certify that they are the required age to play. A confirmation email will be sent to the entrant confirming their numbers in the draw and thanking them for their participation. Random age verification checks are carried out at regular intervals. If an entrant is found to be under the required age their payment will be returned and they will not be entered into the draw
  • Entries must not be bought on behalf of somebody else
  • In order to promote responsible gambling, it is recommended that no more than 60 chances are to be purchased per person for the Raffle
  • Material changes to this raffle are not predicted to happen, but in the event that this occurs you will be notified by email 14 days in advance of any changes
