Entering a competition is not dependant on answering the entry-question correctly and tickets are issued no matter which answer was selected by you.

8. Entry costs £1.00 per play, payable in advance. Entries may not be sold to or by anyone under 18 years of age. Each ticket represents one entry only. In order to enter a ‘pay to enter’ competition, each entrant must:
a. Submit their answer to the respective Competition Entry Question (each competition has a different Competition Entry Question which will be a test of your skill or knowledge);
b. Pay for the number of tickets they wish to purchase using credit/debit card.

10. The West Witney Primary School PTA "Christmas Raffle" prize competition draw will be conducted on 05 Dec 2025 at 12:00:00, or if this is not possible, on the next working day. Each ticket that contains the correct answer to the respective question or puzzle is entered into the draw with the winner selected at random by a Random Number Generator that has been tested and approved by an independent, third party test house. The results of the draw are final.

11. All participants will be notified once the draw has been made and will be able to check the results in their "My Account" area of this website. The winner(s) will also be notified as soon as possible after the draw. A list of winning ticket numbers will be made available within 7 days of the draw, unless there are delays in contacting the winners, in which case the list will be made available as soon as the winners' names are finalised. There are no alternatives to any prize except where stated and no interest is payable.

12. West Witney Primary School PTA reserves the right to substitute a prize for a prize of equivalent or greater value, or at its sole discretion, the cash value of a prize, if this is necessary for reasons beyond West Witney Primary School PTA’s control. No cash prizes are provided as an alternative.

13. Money raised by this raffle will support the programme work of West Witney Primary School PTA, registered charity number 1153888.

14. Any ticket entries received after the closing date may miss entry into the draw and therefore will be considered as a donation to West Witney Primary School PTA.

15. Prizes will be allocated in order of the tickets being drawn from the first prize down to the last one.

16. Where West Witney Primary School PTA is unable to contact a prize winner so that a prize remains unclaimed for six months following the first attempt to notify the prize winner, West Witney Primary School PTA may apply the prize as it sees fit, including re-offering the prize in future raffles.
