Battersea raffle rules and procedures

The Superdraw

• In addition to the weekly Pawdraw lottery, Battersea holds a raffle - called a ‘Superdraw’ each Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. All lottery players are entered into this as well as raffle players who have purchased tickets.
• Out of each pound donated to the Superdraw, over 66p goes directly to the dogs and cats that need our help. We could not do this without you, so thank you.
• In 2020, the total raised by the Superdraw was £1,281,854. This was distributed as follows:
• 66.44% - went towards fulfilling Battersea’s purpose
• 31.98% - went towards the promotion and running of the lottery
• 1.58% - went towards prizes
• All entries to the Superdraw raffle and the Pawdraw lottery are entered into a random electronic draw that is conducted 7 days after the closing date stated on each ticket.
• Any entries received after the closing date are treated as donations, there are no refunds.
• The draw is conducted by an independent party in front of two witnesses.
• The first number drawn wins the first prize, the second wins the second prize, and so on until all 23 prizes are assigned a winner. There are no rollovers.
• We contact the winners by phone and letter within 14 days of the draw date and provide the prizes to them within 7 days of receiving acknowledgement from the winners.
