What is a Pioneer Signings raffle?
Pioneer Signings raffles give you the chance to win exclusive signed memorabilia and experiences for a small entry fee. Each raffle has a limited number of entries and clearly advertised prizes.
How do I enter a raffle?
You can enter directly through our website on the raffle product page.
Simply:
- Choose how many entries you’d like (subject to any entry limits shown),
- Add to cart,
- Complete checkout.
Your entry/entries will be confirmed by email once payment has been successfully processed.
UK residents can also enter this raffle for free by post – see “Free Postal Entry Route” in our Raffle Terms & Conditions.
How is the winner chosen?
Once the raffle has closed (either when all tickets are sold or the end date is reached), all valid tickets are entered into our automated raffle system.
The system randomly selects the required number of winning tickets from the full pool of entries. Each ticket counts as one entry, so customers with more tickets have proportionally more chances to win, but every ticket has an equal and fair chance.
Pioneer Signings staff do not manually choose the winners.Winners are chosen at random using the Raffle draw system / a random number generator.
The draw will take place after all tickets are sold or on the stated closing date, whichever comes first (see each raffle page for details).
How will I know if I’ve won?
We’ll contact the winner using the email address or phone number provided at checkout.
Winners may also be announced on our website and/or social media channels using first name and general location (e.g. “Josh from Ireland”) and linked.
What happens if the winner doesn’t respond?
If we don’t hear back from the winner within 7 days of our first contact attempt, we reserve the right to redraw and select another winner using the same random draw method.
When will my prize be dispatched if I win?
We aim to dispatch prizes within 14–28 days of confirming the winner, unless:
