THE DRAW (updated)

The first ticket drawn will be contacted by email and have their pick of all the prizes. This will be announced on the Forum at 8:30 pm Wednesday 23rd Of July.

Following that a ticket number will be drawn first and then a prize number before being announced, again on the Forum. Approximately half of the tickets will be drawn on the Wednesday, the remainder to a finish on the Thursday.

**** update ****
Draw process is very simple.

The first ticket will be drawn and the winner contacted via email to pick the prize they want. We all like different things so there isn't a definite first prize. I see no reason why that person couldn't pick a mystery box.

After that a ticket number will be drawn, then a prize number. It will be announced live here, and only here. No facebook, no email, only here. There will then be five minutes to either stick with the prize you have won or take the mystery box gamble (1 of 4 mystery boxes). Could be a prize upgrade, could be a downgrade. As they say, that's the gamble!

Don't ask what the mystery boxes contain because I'm not going to tell you ;-) To save those who have donated contents for them from questions I will keep their identity secret for now too.

If no one decides to swap the mystery boxes will be drawn and given as prizes after all the regular ones.

*****

All winners will be published on the Fairy Bricks Website, Brickset, and Facebook.

All prize winners will be contacted to obtain their address.

All prizes will be posted at no expense to the winner. However with this being a worldwide community effort there is every chance your prize will be in a different country so please allow 28 days for delivery.

Again as with entries, any questions feel free to ask. The very best of luck and to save you scrolling back up

RAFFLE ENTRY

Shib

Got my first round of tickets....will probably end up buying more...

Is this only open to members of the forum? I want to push friends and family to buy tickets (and win me prizes :-P) but don't want to if they can't enter.

SirKevbags

@Shib‌ Tell the world please :-) That goes for everyone else to. We will be pushing it via social media heavily to but any non AFOL people you know just get them involved.

Either link them to here or direct to our site http://fairybricks.org/the-big-raffle/

BooTheMightyHamster

\o/
Tickets bought!

So what to choose if my ticket comes out first?
Hmm....

Shib

I hope I don't get first pick...too many amazing prizes to choose from! I think theres only one on the list I wouldn't pick.

TheOneVeyronian

I just missed out on participating in the last raffle (I found this brilliant site just after the event!), but I'll make sure to join in this time round, despite my rather unusual circumstances involving raffles!* I will be sure to get some money together, the question for me will be "how many raffle tickets should I actually buy?"

* 100% true story: I once won half the prizes in a raffle about 12 years ago, and haven't won a single raffle prize since. Go figure, but I hope this luck might change ;-)

p.s. thanks for keeping the Paypal format though, much less hassle! :-)

princedraven

Just bought my first bunch, sure I will be back for more. With the amount of quality prizes this year we should smash last years total. I hope a large 'totalizer' is planned :-p

Covi

Bought also some tickets.

Shib

just received ticket email...apparently I was quick this morning and got the first tickets :-)

bobabricks

Either the designer space ship or signed lego house is mine! ;P

Nikaliptus

I'm in, thanks! :-)

SirKevbags

One fine day, the Hairy Fairy decided to pay a visit to Brickset Towers to see if any of the lovely people living there could help him to raise money to buy LEGO for some poorly children. Who will he meet inside? Will they help him to raise some money? The only way to find out is to keep buying raffle tickets....

(All images supplied by @LostInTranslation‌ :-) )

CCC

I'm in too. Those signed sets / MOCs are very appealing.

CapnRex101

It would be remiss of me not to ask: where is the Brickset blue on Brickset towers @LostInTranslation‌? :o)

I reckon this year's selection has surpassed last year's, so well done to everyone who donated!

TechnicNick

Excellent prizes! You really are a generous bunch. The very least I should do is buy a ticket or twenty...

LostInTranslation

I don't have much blue to build with, but rest assured that if enough tickets are bought to keep Hairy Fairy climbing up through Brickset Towers, you will see some blue. One of my favourite parts of the totalizer actually :-)

MinifigsMe

Doh! Got all excited and bought tickets before seeing the gift aid thingy... just accept the whole thing as a donation Kev inc gift aid, and I'll buy some more raffle tickets later

TheBrickLadd

I will be purchasing some over the weekend. I am having a Lego based stall at a local Fete. So I will certainly be using some of that to purchase some tickets! :)

SilentMode

I want a prize this time!

Basta

Tickets purchased :)

Exchange rate blows compared to last year. You would have got more £ for my $. I may have to buy more tickets later in the month.

asksol

I donated a lot, but I selected gift aid, could you maybe have written that a bit earlier in the instructions?

kez

Wow some great prizes, I'm going to have to top up my PayPal account. ;D

SirKevbags

@asksol‌ Don't worry about the gift aid thing. Thats an accounting issue for us to deal with. The odd few that come with it attached isn't a problem.

asksol

@SirKevBags Ok, Thanks! I was taught to always read the instructions first, but do I listen? I consider this when I write technical documentation and make sure any warning comes before the actual instructions :)

oldtodd33

@SirKevbags You mentioned in your OP that Fairy Bricks aren't eligible for Gift Aid, but the Paypal home page for Fairy Bricks asks for it first thing. A bit confusing for someone that doesn't read your OP correctly.

Peter1975

UK only? I mean should I win one of the prices, are they shipped overseas?

SirKevbags

@oldtodd33‌ I agree with you completely but there isn't anything we can do about the entry page, that is fixed by Paypal. Just to clarify though, Fairy Bricks is eligible to claim gift aid (from UK Taxpayers) but Raffle Entries, regardless of the charity concerned are not eligible.

Hopefully in general its easier than regular paypal with selecting gift payment options etc and the confusion that causes people.

Huw

+1 for not reading the bit about Gift Aid :-(

SirKevbags

@Peter1975‌ This is open to everyone. If you win a prize it will be sent to you no matter where you are.

beegeedee

Tickets bought...I mean, it was so much fun last year watching the draws happening how could anyone not buy tickets.

Matthew

Could you add a sentence about gift aid for raffle entries to the objective section, or even put it in the logo image?

SirKevbags

@Matthew‌ in theory yes but the time it would take to get the changes approved would defeat the object.

Bumblepants

In for what I can! Forgot how abysmal the US$ is compared to GBP :-/

CCC

From the numbers on my virtual tickets, sales seem to be going well already :-)

SuperTramp

^I donated this morning and got my raffle numbers within 60 mins. I donated again around 1 o'clock and Ive not got my raffle numbers through yet, im starting to worry i didn't click the box for FB to receive my email.

SirKevbags

@SuperTramp‌ don't worry. It's a manual process. Once it's 48 hours and you have no ticket numbers then drop us a line.

TheBrickLadd

Are you going to do a live video stream of the draw? :)

TheCableGuy

Please tell me Kev that you are not writing names on tickets this year?

955561976

Doh, I also applied Gift Aid - sorry! But donation made to a good cause - well done to everyone involved in organising this.

adiemc

First batch of tickets purchased ;-)

cheshirecat

great to see all the ticket sales already. I so badly want to win some of those great prizes!

SirKevbags

^ No prizes for you! You're barred ;-)

Very much to be confirmed ;-)

Russell844

Mojoest

jjb5000

I'm in, remember guys and gals its not the winning but the taking part that's counts :-)

But its always nice to win some of the time!!!!

Good luck all

CHERUBboy

Tix bought! Shame you can't gift aid raffle tickets though.

kez

Just purchased a good few tickets, thanks kev for yet another wonderful charity event, now I shall begin to commence my 48 hour countdown for my ticket no. ;D

seannydem

I'm in too. Will be buying more in the weeks to come. Easier to fool the missus on how much I'm spending by doing it in small lots :)

rancorbait

Remember, winning isn't everything.... But losing is nothing!

:oP

SirKevbags

First of all the Hairy Fairy stumbled across some pirates! He was scared they would make him walk the plank but it turns out they were more than happy to share some of their booty for the kids. £500, to be precise! Thanks mateys!
Where next for the intrepid Hairy Fairy?
