Proceeds

In 2020 Dogs Trust received £940,591 in ticket sales, of which 66% were attributable to our charitable activities. This includes essential care for the dogs across our 21 rehoming centres, running costs, and our campaign work such as education, neutering, and microchipping. After these proceeds, 3.7% was spent on prizes, and the remaining on the running costs and governance of the raffle.

Raffle Draw

Each of the seven cash prize winners are drawn randomly by hand. In the event that government restrictions are in place at the time of the draw, it will be attended by the relevant persons over video call, following guidance from the Gambling Commission. The likelihood of winning a cash prize is 0.0447% by purchasing a 30 ticket raffle book.
