Frequently asked questions

About Amnesty International

We are a global movement of ordinary people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights. We work to protect men, women and children wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied. We investigate and expose human rights abuses, educate and mobilise the public and help transform societies to create a safer, more just world.

What is the Amnesty Superdraw Raffle?

It’s a special draw which takes place just once a year, where the top prize is £10,000 instead of £1,000, and a few additional prizes are also added. Amnesty Weekly Lottery players’ regular entries go into the Superdraw Raffle automatically. But we offer players and those who don’t usually play the chance to buy up to 50 tickets just for the Superdraw Raffle too!

How are proceeds from the raffle used?

In 2024, proceeds from the Amnesty Weekly Lottery (including Superdraw Raffles) totalled £452,843. We spent 63.55% of that on human rights work and raising further funds, 19.55% on prizes and 16.90% on running the lottery.

What are my chances of winning?

With 86 cash prizes up for grabs, we estimate that every entry will have a 1 in 617 chance of winning cash in this year’s Christmas Raffle.
