Last updated: 1st June 2020

These Terms and Conditions serve in addition to the Terms & Conditions that govern your use of the Racehorse Lotto website and entry in to all Prize Draws that Racehorse Lotto operates including this Raffle Prize Draw.

THE ASCOT RAFFLE PRIZE DRAW RULES

The following describes the rules and procedures by which Racehorse Lotto operates The Ascot Raffle Prize Draw and determines the winners.

Timing of the Raffle Prize Draw

The Raffle Prize Draw will be open for entry from the 2nd June 2020 to 30th June 2020.

Racehorse Lotto will perform two Raffle Prize Draws, an Early Bird Prize Draw and a Main Prize Draw. The Early Bird Prize Draw will take place on 18th June. The Main Prize Draw will take place on or after 1st July 2020. Racehorse Lotto may extend the date and time that the Raffle Prize Draws are open for entries and the date and time that it performs those Raffle Prize Draws at any time and at its sole discretion.

The dates and times of the Raffle Prize Draws will always be available on the website and made known to customers prior to purchasing any entries in to those Raffle Prize Draws.

Raffle Prize Draw Entries

Raffle Prize Draw entries are allocated a unique identifier upon purchase or processing of a postal entry.

Raffle Prize Draw entries submitted via the postal entry method must be received by 30th June 2020 to be entered in to the Main Prize Draw, and by 17th June to be entered in to the Early Bird Prize Draw. Postal entries received after these dates will not be entered in to the respective Raffle Prize Draws.

There is no limit on the number of entries that each player can make.

Eligibility to enter is limited to those who are at least 18 years old and resident in the UK.

No entries from agents, third parties, syndicated entries or those made using methods such as a computer macro, script or the use of automated devices are permitted and no bulk entries are permitted.

Conducting Raffle Prize Draws

All entries received by midnight on the 17th June 2020 will be eligible for the Early Bird Prize Draw in addition to the Main Prize Draw. All entries received after midnight on the 17th June 2020 will be eligible for the Main Prize Draw only.

On 18th June 2020, Racehorse Lotto will use an independent third-party service to randomly pick a single winning entry for the Early Bird Prize from all of the entries in the Raffle Prize Draw that were received before midnight on 17th June 2020.

From midnight on the 30th June 2020 onwards no further entries in to this Raffle Prize Draw will be possible. The winning entry for a Main Prize Draw will not be determined until we have verified that no further entries are able to enter in to the Raffle Prize Draw.

Once all entries have been confirmed and the Raffle Prize Draw is locked down, Racehorse Lotto will use an independent third-party service to randomly pick a single winning entry from all of the entries in the Raffle Prize Draw to be the winner of the Main Prize.

Racing Welfare donation

Racehorse Lotto strives to support the racing industry during these very difficult times. To this end Racehorse Lotto will donate 80% of the profits after deducting the direct costs of operating the raffle from all paid entry fees to Racing Welfare.

No donations will be made in respect of entries made using the alternative postal method of entry.

Racehorse Lotto does not claim ownership or affiliation with Racing Welfare, and its trade names, logos or intellectual property.

The portion of paid entry fees that will be donated to Racing Welfare will be made available on the Site.

The specific amount raised for and donated to Racing Welfare from the Raffle Prize Draw will be made available on the Site and Racehorse Lotto's social media channels after the Prize Draw has concluded.

The Prizes

Main Prize - Royal Ascot 2021 Tickets

The Raffle Prize Draw winner will win a VIP Royal Ascot 2021 Package from Racing Breaks. This will entitle the winner plus up to three friends to receive a hospitality at the Racingbreaks.com Private Hospitality Box and receive a private audience with legendary jockey Frankie Dettori.

The Raffle Prize Draw winner will also receive one night's hotel accommodation at the Royal Berkshire Hotel for their Royal Ascot 2021 visit, including transfers between the Racecourse and the hotel.

The exact dates are subject to availability for the event in 2021 which are unknown at the date of this competition. Details will be confirmed with the winner closer to the time.

Travel to and from the event will be the responsibility of the winner.

In the event that it is not possible for Frankie Dettori to attend Royal Ascot 2021 on a day that the winners are also in attendance then that part of the prize shall be forfeit without replacement without affecting any other part of the prize.

Early Bird Prize - Fortnum & Mason Hamper

A luxury Fortnum & Mason Hamper worth £450 containing Magnum bottles of champagne and rose, a bottle of F&M gin, a selection of beers and ciders, luxury pork pies & scotch eggs, cold meats, cheeses, pickles, crackers, chocolates, tea and cake. The exact contents of the hamper are subject to change based on availability.

The hamper will be delivered to the winner in time to watch the races on Saturday 20th June 2020, subject to being able to contact the winner in sufficient time to confirm their delivery address.

As this product is perishable we can only deliver it on a date you specify to a limited postal area.

Delivery of the Prizes

The winner of the prizes will be contacted via their registered email address and/or phone number if it has been provided to us to arrange for delivery to them. The winner will not be liable for any postage costs or any other fees incurred in delivering the prizes to them. We may ask if the winner would be willing to participate in a photo shoot with their prize for our promotional purposes. If the winner agrees then we will deliver the prize to them at a date and time that we agree upon together. The winner will in no way be obligated to do this. Racehorse Lotto reserves the right to substitute all or part of the prize with an alternative prize of equal or greater value where it is unable to provide the listed prize to a winner. No cash prize alternative is available for the prize except where stated in these Terms & Conditions.

We will endeavour to provide the prize to the winner as soon as reasonably practicable. However, if we reasonably consider that we are not able to provide the prize in the form described under these Terms for reasons outside of our control (including epidemic, pandemic, disease (including equine diseases), injury or death to racehorses, cancellation or postponement of sporting events, acts of God, flood, drought, earthquake or other natural disaster, terrorist attack, riots, war, fire, explosion or accident or any law or any action taken by a government or public authority) we shall not be obliged to provide the prize to the winner from the start of such event until we reasonably consider that (i) the event outside of our control has ended; and (ii) we are able to provide the prize substantially in the form described under these Terms.

If, for any reason, a horse race in England and Wales is conducted at a racecourse that is closed to the public or otherwise subject to enhanced entry restrictions, we may, but we shall not be obliged to, provide prizes in respect of horse races that are conducted in such stadiums.

To the extent applicable, the period during which the winner may receive the prize may be extended by: (i) the period that we consider that the event outside of our control prevented the prize from being provided to the winner substantially in the form described; and/or (ii) the period during which horse races in England and Wales are conducted at racecourses that are closed to the public or otherwise the subject of enhanced entry restrictions.

No payment will be required from the winner in order to receive the prize.

We may require proof of identity and to perform other checks prior to delivering the prize.

In the event that it is not possible for us to contact a winner to arrange delivery of a prize after multiple attempts, then after a period not shorter than one month from the first attempted contact the prize will be deemed to be forfeited by the winner.

If any individual element of a prize has not been claimed, booked or selected (as appropriate) by the timescale set out in these Terms, that element of the prize will be deemed to be forfeited by the winner. For the avoidance of doubt, this will not affect other elements of the prize that (i) have been claimed, booked or selected by the winner within the appropriate timescale; and (ii) the Racehorse Lotto considers are not dependent upon the forfeited element of the prize.

Racehorse Lotto and any affiliated parties, for example good causes recipients are not responsible for illegible, lost, late, incomplete, misdirected, or undeliverable email; or for any computer, telephone, satellite, cable, network, electronic or internet hardware or software malfunctions, failures, connections, or availability, or garbled, corrupt or jumbled transmissions, service provider/internet/website/use net accessibility, availability, or traffic congestion, or any technical, typographical, or other error, or unauthorised human intervention, or the incorrect or inaccurate capture of registration information, or the failure to capture, or loss of, any such information.

By entering The Raffle Prize Draw, you agree to be bound by these Raffle Prize Draw Rules and by all applicable laws and decisions of Racehorse Lotto.

In the event of a dispute regarding entries received from multiple users having the same email account, the authorised subscriber of the email account at the time of entry will be deemed to be the entrant and must comply with these rules. Authorised account subscriber is the natural person who is assigned the email address by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), online service provider, or other organisation responsible for assigning email addresses.
