Brighten the darker autumn days by entering Wales Air Ambulance’s online raffle for the chance to win £3,000.
Entering the Charity’s Autumn raffle gives you the chance to win a cash prize in time for Christmas while helping to save lives across Wales.
Tickets cost £1 and will be available on the Charity’s website from Friday 25 September. The top prize is £3,000, with further prizes of £300 and £150.
The Charity is also running an Earlybird prize draw. Tickets bought by Friday 16 October will be entered into the draw, which will take place on Wednesday 21 October.
The Earlybird ticket put in in with the chance to win one of 25 additional prizes. This includes 10 cash prizes of £25, cosy bobble hats, pens, notebooks and a cuddly toy.
Tickets for the main draw are available until Sunday 8 November. The draw will take place on Wednesday 11 November, with the winners announced on the Charity’s website on Monday 16 November.
Last year’s Autumn raffle winner, Patti Sanderson from Dolanog, received the £3,000 first prize after forgetting that she had bought tickets.
Patti’s name came out on top to win £3,000 just in time for the festive season.
Last year’s online raffle sold more than 12,000 tickets across Wales and raised over £14,000, which included additional donations from players.
Phae Jones, the Charity’s Director of Income Generation, said: “We are delighted to launch our popular autumn raffle ahead of the festive season. By entering, you could win £3,000 to make Christmas extra special for family and friends. The second and third prizes of £300 and £150 could also make a real difference.”
“Last year, our raffle was a huge success, and our lucky winner, Patti, received the top prize after forgetting that she had bought tickets. Wales Air Ambulance needs to raise £13 million every year, so please consider buying a ticket to support our lifesaving service. You never know, you might become a winner just like Patti.”
The funds raised will help Wales Air Ambulance be there for people across the country in a life-or-limb-threatening emergency.
Wales Air Ambulance is a consultant-led service that takes hospital-standard treatments to patients and, when required, transfers them directly to the most appropriate hospital for their illness or injury. Compared with standard care, this can save hours and is proven to greatly improve survival and early recovery. The service is delivered through a unique partnership between the Third Sector and Public Sector.
The Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service (EMRTS) supplies highly skilled NHS consultants and critical care practitioners who work on board the Charity’s vehicles.
As a pan-Wales service, the dedicated air ambulance crews, regardless of where they are based, will travel the length and breadth of the country to deliver emergency lifesaving care.
