Wales Air Ambulance launches £3,000 autumn raffle draw

The fundraiser offers the chance to support a vital emergency service while potentially winning a festive windfall.

Tickets cost just £1 and are available through the charity’s website.

Phae Jones, director of income generation at Wales Air Ambulance, 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 raffle’s top prize is £3,000, with additional prizes of £300 and £150.

Players who enter by Friday, October 16, will also be entered into an early bird draw for one of 25 extra prizes, including 10 cash prizes of £25, bobble hats, pens, notebooks, and a cuddly toy.

The main raffle will close on Sunday, November 8, with the draw taking place on Wednesday, November 11.

Winners will be announced on Monday, November 16, on the charity’s website.

Last year’s raffle sold more than 12,000 tickets and raised over £14,000, including additional donations.

Funds raised help the charity deliver critical care across Wales in life-threatening emergencies.

The service, led by consultants and supported by the Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service, brings advanced hospital treatments directly to patients and transports them to the most appropriate hospital when needed.
