Last year, a fantastic £2.4million of the ticket sales in our lottery, 80% was used to fund the work of the Charity. 4% was spent on prizes and 16% was spent on other expenses including administration and marketing.

The exact likelihood of winning a prize in the lottery is dependent on the actual number of participants and will therefore change each draw. We estimate that the chance of a single ticket winning any prize in the weekly draw is roughly 1 in 3460.

The lottery is subject to the laws of England and the jurisdiction of the English courts.

All profits from the Devon Air Ambulance lottery are used to fund the charity’s live saving work.

Devon Air Ambulance reserves the right to make changes to these rules and will publish any changes 28 days in advance on the Devon Air Ambulance website, as required by law.
