Frequently Asked Questions
Entering the raffle
- How can I enter the RNIB Raffle?
You can enter the raffle online or via phone on 0330 002 0051 (Mon to Fri, 8:30am-6pm). Alternatively, if you have received a raffle pack in the post, you can return your entry form and payment in the prepaid addressed envelope.
For RNIB Raffle rules, read our terms and conditions.
- How old do I have to be to enter the raffle?
At least 18 years old.
- How much do RNIB Raffle entries cost?
Raffle entries cost just £1 each.
- Why are there no paper tickets in my raffle pack?
Printing paper tickets and sending these out in the post have become extremely costly to the RNIB. With rising costs and various other environmental factors these cost savings can be put back into supporting more blind and partially sighted people.
- Can I sell entries on to my friends and family?
Unfortunately, you’re no longer able to do this, but you could encourage them to enter the raffle online or by calling us on 0330 002 0051 (Mon to Fri, 8:30am-6pm) instead.
