Why do I have to be over 16 to take part in the Lottery?
It is against the law for anyone under the age of 16 to take part in any form of gambling. Anyone under the age of 16 years old who buys a lottery ticket, their entry will be forfeit and will not be entered into the draw.
Can I enter the lottery if I live outside of Great Britain?
Magpas Air Ambulance is not able to sell lottery tickets to anyone living outside of Great Britain (Scotland, Wales and England). This is too comply with current Gambling Commission guidelines, who we are registered to run our lottery with. There are different regulations in place in Northern Ireland.
Where does the money from the lottery go?
As a charity funded by donations, it's donations such as that from our lottery that helps keep Magpas Air Ambulance saving lives 24/7 for people in your community. Every ticket bought will help keep our air ambulance flying, rapid response vehicles on the road and our medics responding to critically ill or injured people when they need us most..
When will I hear if I’ve won?
The Lottery draw will take place every Friday. If you're one of our lucky winners, we'll contact you via phone or email on the day the draw takes place. If we can't get hold of you, we'll send you a confirmation in writing by post. We also post the winning numbers on our website.
Why do you give out prizes to your supporters even though you’re a charity?
We have found that running a lottery is an excellent way of raising vital funds to support Magpas Air Ambulance and raise awareness for the charity. For some supporters, this is the only way they choose to donate to Magpas Air Ambulance. Every lottery raises more in donations and ticket sales than is spent on the prizes and production of the lottery itself. The lottery brings in over £3.5million a year and accounts for 80% of the charity’s income. This is a significant amount of funding that we simply could not have achieved alone..
How is your prize draw regulated?
We are registered with the Gambling Commission under the Gambling Act 2005 LOT 150/1630/1. If you would like more information about how raffles and lotteries are regulated please go to the Gambling Commission website www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk .
