Weekly Lottery and Superdraw Terms and Conditions (from 5 July 2024)

1. These terms and conditions are the lottery rules. By entering the lottery, entrants agree to be bound by these rules.

2. This lottery is promoted by and on behalf of Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust. Monies raised by this lottery will support the human rights work of Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust, registered charity no. 1051681 (England and Wales) and SC039534 (Scotland).

3. For the purpose of the Gambling Act 2005, this lottery is defined as a ‘Society Lottery’.

4. Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission under account number 4969.

5. You must live in mainland Great Britain (England, Scotland or Wales) to enter this lottery.

6. You must be aged 18 or over to enter this lottery. UK law states that it is a criminal offence for lottery entries to be sold to, or bought by or on behalf of a person under 16 years of age. The Amnesty Weekly Lottery and Amnesty Superdraw rules state that players must be 18 or over to enter. If an entry is sold to, or bought by or on behalf of a person under the age of 18, they will be exempt from the lottery, their entry money will be returned and they will not be awarded any prize.

7. You must confirm you are 18 or over before buying any tickets for the weekly lottery or Superdraw. If entering the Superdraw through the post, you must tick the box on the entry form to confirm you are 18 or over and agree to these terms and conditions. Failure to tick this box will result in your entry money being treated as a donation, and your intended entries being excluded from the draw.

8. You agree that pursuant to Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust’s obligations under the Gambling Act 2005, we may process your personal data for the purposes of age verification.

9. 84 cash prize winners are selected in each lottery draw. The top prize for regular weekly draws is currently £1,000. The top prize for the annual Superdraw is £10,000. Non-cash prizes could also be offered from time to time.

10. Each lottery entry costs £1 and has an equal chance of winning.

11. You may buy up to five £1 entries per weekly lottery draw.

12. You may buy up to 50 £1 entries for our annual Superdraw. Any amount given beyond £50 will be treated as a donation and will not purchase further entries into the draw.

13. Any Superdraw ticket payments received after the closing draw will be considered donations to Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust.

14. You accept that this lottery is regulated by the Gambling Commission and that in certain circumstances we may be unable to provide refunds or replacements once you have purchased your entries.

15. All entrants acknowledge that their payment of £1 per ticket to enter the lottery does not guarantee they will win any prize.

16. The draws for the prizes are made at our lottery management company’s premises every Friday using an electronic random number generator. The first number drawn will win the top prize, the second drawn will win the second prize, and this process will continue until all prizes have been allocated. A list of winners is updated weekly on our website lottery.amnesty.org.uk/winners. If you would like to know how Amnesty International UK processes your personal data, you can review our privacy policy – www.amnesty.org.uk/privacy-notice.

17. When a cash prize is awarded, this will be made by cheque in the name of the entrant only.

18. Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust reserves the right in exceptional and unforeseen circumstances to substitute any non-cash prizes for a similar prize at their absolute discretion.

19. Full payment for each entry must be received either in the form of cash or cleared funds before that entry can be included in the draw. Only entries for which full payment has been received are eligible to win a prize.

20. The winners of the lottery prizes will be notified within seven days of the draw.

21. All entrants are solely responsible for providing Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust with their accurate and up-to-date contact details. Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust will be in no way liable for any failure or inability to contact any entrant due to any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in the contact details that the entrant has provided. In the event that an entrant changes their contact details, they will be solely responsible for advising Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust of the change. Prizes which we cannot deliver because we do not have accurate details, or which remain uncashed, will go to supporting the work of Amnesty International UK.

22. All winners are required to co-operate with Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust’s requirement to publish their win as and where deemed appropriate, and to provide proof of age when requested.

23. Each entry number is unique. When signing up to the Amnesty Weekly Lottery, you will receive a randomly selected entry number in your confirmation letter.
