2023 Christmas Cracker Raffle
The magCulture Christmas Cracker Raffle is back for a sixth year! Buy tickets and help us raise money to support homeless charity Shelter from the Storm.
Update: this raffle has already taken place
This brilliant local organisation provides overnight shelter—beds, an evening meal and breakfast—for 38 people every night of the year. And as London’s temperature drops below freezing this week their service becomes even more essential.
The raffle is a simple way to give money while having a chance of winning one of 12 fabulous prizes. All you have to do is buy your Christmas Cracker Raffle tickets—as few or as many as you want—and check online for the winning numbers as we draw one ticket a day across 12 days. The more £5 tickets you buy, the more Shelter from the Storm benefits, and the more chance you have of winning a prize.
We’ve gathered 12 fabulous prizes from friends and partners including Vitsoe, Noble Rot, Present & Correct, Margaret Howell, The Hoxton and Casa Magazines. See a full list below.
Our friendship with SFtS began in 2019 and we’re super excited to be able to help raise money for them once again. They provide invaluable support for people that have experienced homelessness, and without government funding they rely entirely on individual donations to continue.
How does the ticket draw work?
We’ll be drawing a single winning ticket from the magCulture tombola every day over the last twelve days before the shop closes for Christmas. You know, 12 Days of Christmas style, with one prize per day.
The first ticket draw will take place at 3pm GMT on Thursday 7 December, and then at the same time every weekday through to Friday 22 December. All tickets will be added to the magCulture tombola as soon as they are purchased, and stay there for all 12 draws (unless they are drawn as a winner). Each day’s winning number will be announced as soon as drawn on Instagram (winners will be emailed too).
How much are the tickets?
Raffle tickets cost just £5 each and can either be bought online or in real life at the magCulture shop throughout December. There’s no limit to how many you can buy and 100% of every fiver spent will go to Shelter From the Storm so fill your Christmas boots.
