Your School Lottery

Welcome to The Big PTA Christmas Raffle

The last 18 months have been tough but we know all PTAs are determined to get their fundraising back on track. Parentkind is supporting PTAs to do this through the Big PTA Raffles. Following the huge success last year, the Big PTA Christmas Raffle is back; a great way to give support to your PTA and school in a fun and effective way.

We are holding 12 draws over 6 days, two draws per day, between 13th December and 18th December 2021. For £3 you will get a ticket entered in all 12 draws. Every draw will give you the chance to win up to £5,000! The best news – 50% of your ticket sales goes straight to your chosen PTA.

And there’s even more. Every ticket sold helps towards your PTA qualifying for entry into a special PTA draw with the chance to win up to £2,500 or one of five prizes of £500.

We hope you enjoy taking part in The Big PTA Christmas Raffle!

Last year The Big PTA Christmas Raffle helped to raise £120,000 for PTAs.

Player FAQ

What is The Big PTA Christmas Raffle?

The Big PTA Christmas Raffle is a raffle brought to you by Parentkind, giving you the chance to win cash prizes while supporting your chosen PTA.

We're hosting 12 raffle draws. For £3 you can buy a ticket for all 12 draws. Each of the draws will give you the chance to win up to £5,000*. In total there will be up to £60,000* given away in cash prizes.

How do I play?

Simply click Buy tickets on The Big PTA Christmas Raffle website then follow the instructions. You will be asked how many tickets you'd like and to select which PTA you would like to support, payment will be taken via a debit card (sorry we can’t take credit cards).

How much do tickets cost?

Each ticket costs £0.25 per draw. Via the site you can purchase a ticket for all 12 draws for £3. From the ticket price, 50% goes directly to your chosen PTA. 40% goes towards prizes and advancing Parentkind's charitable causes and 10% for the administration of the raffle.

What prizes can be won?

Each of the 12 draws will have a guaranteed cash winner chosen at random from the entries. They will win up to £5,000* or, if we don’t sell our target of 50,000 tickets, 40% of the total proceeds.

How do I choose my PTA?

Select Buy your tickets and find your PTA. You can search for your PTA by name, postcode, location or all three. Then, simply choose how many tickets you want.

What if I can’t find my PTA on the list?

What information will I need to sign up?

Signing up is easy. We just need your name, email address, and postal address. We also need your date of birth to validate you are over 16.

How will the draws work?

The draw process is a raffle, whereby the winning ticket is chosen at random from all the eligible tickets for that draw. Each ticket is unique and has an equal chance of winning, including any additional tickets you may buy. The winning ticket will be selected at random using the online resource www.random.org who are independently verified for their random number generation using atmospheric noise. The winning number will be displayed on the website and we will email the winner to let them know.

What are the odds of winning a prize?

The chances of winning vary according to the number of tickets sold. There is one prize of up to £5,000* in each draw.

When will draws start?

Two draws will take place each day between the 13th December and the 18th December 2021.

How do winners find out that they've won?

All winners will be advised by email. The winning number will also be published on our website, Facebook and Twitter following each draw.

How will I receive my winnings?

Your winnings will be paid directly into your nominated bank account or you can choose to donate your winnings back to the PTA you’re supporting.

How do I pay?

Payment is via debit card only. The site is fully secure, PCI DSS compliant and we don’t store any card details.

Who deals with any questions I may have?

We do. We have a dedicated support number (0300 016 7460) that deals directly with any queries you may have.
We also have a dedicated email address [email protected]

If my PTA gets 50% of tickets we sell, where does the other 50% go?

As a national charity, Parentkind gives those with a parenting role a voice in education. We invest substantial resources in representing parent views on their child’s learning to local, regional and national governments and agencies. Parentkind is the network of PTA fundraisers in the UK. We bring specialist fundraising support and advice to parent volunteers so that every school can benefit from a successful PTA. Further information can be found on the Parentkind website.
