Our raffles raise essential funds for pioneering diabetes research as well as our work to care for and campaign on behalf of all people affected by diabetes in the UK.

Each ticket costs £1.

For our Spring and Christmas Raffles, your lottery entries will automatically be entered into the raffle (as long as you have sufficient credit) as these are Superdraw draws.

For our Summer Raffles however, these are drawn independently of the weekly lottery and so to be entered you will need to purchase chances separately.

The first prize winner will be contacted by telephone and a full list of winners and runners up will be published on our website after the draw on the 13 December 2024.

There’s no need for you to do a thing. If you are one of the lucky winners, we will send your winning cheque to you in the post. Most major banks also accept scans of cheques through their mobile banking apps.

In our Spring and Christmas Raffles, our prize fund is as follows:

• 1st prize: £12,500 (1 available prize to be won)
• 2nd prize: £1,000 (1 available prize to be won)
• 3rd prizes: £100 (2 available prizes to be won)

* If you are a lottery player, you will receive 5 entries into the following week’s lottery draw rather than £5.

You can buy your raffle tickets in a number of different ways. You can enter online and pay by debit card. Alternatively, you can telephone us on 0370 034 0783 and we would be happy to send you an entry form.

The law states that tickets must not be sold to, or by, those under the age of 16. In accordance with our license we must abide by this law.

From October 2023 we have made the decision to increase the minimum age required to enter our raffles. Therefore you must now be at least 18 or above to enter.

Any winners found to be under the age of 18 automatically forfeit any entitlement to any prizes won.
