2024 Raffle FAQ

Where and how can I buy tickets?
Tickets are available both online at the top of this page (using trybooking) and via paper forms. Visit www.mercy.vic.edu.au/community/car-raffle/ to purchase online (credit card only).
Paper forms are available from many local shops and events, and a book of 5 tickets will be sent to every family (cash, cheque and credit card available). 1 paper form per ticket in the draw. The number displayed on the paper form is for office reference only and is not necessarily your number in the digital draw.

 

Why has the ticket price changed to $20?
In 2024 there has been a significant increase in the costs of running the raffle and the ever-increasing cost of school resources. For the first time ever, we have had to raise the cost of tickets. The positive for our loyal raffle supporters is the much higher value of the supporting prizes and Early Bird prize. 

 

I have filled in a paper form, what now?
If the paper form is in a local shop or at an event, MRC staff will collect it and enter your details in the digital draw. If it is on a book sent out to families, please return it to the MRC office in Camperdown together with cash/cheque or card details by November 28 to ensure it is entered in the draw.

 

How do I enter the Early Bird Draw?
To be eligible for entry in the Early Bird Draw, you must purchase a book of 5 tickets by 7pm on 26 October. Paper forms should be submitted by 23 October to ensure they are entered in the draw.

 

What happens if I win the Early Bird Draw but don’t have a student attending Mercy Regional College?
Prizes are not redeemable for cash. You can gift or resell the College Fee Voucher to a person with a College fee account. If you do not know anyone who attends the College, you may like to donate the Fee Voucher as a scholarship to be awarded to a student for the 2025 school year.

 

If I buy tickets online, do I need to complete the paper ticket book I received in the mail?
No. We recommend purchasing your tickets online, but you can complete the paper tickets if you’re unable to do so.

 

Can I assign the names of my family members to each ticket in one transaction?
Yes. Both the online and paper methods allow individual names and contact numbers to be assigned to each separate ticket.

 

Can the prizes be transferred or exchanged for cash?
No. Prizes are not transferable or redeemable for cash.

 

Where and when will the prizes be drawn?
The major prizes will be drawn at 12.30pm on Tuesday 3 December at Mercy Regional College (15 Henderson Street, Camperdown). The Early Bird Draw will be drawn manually at 8.00pm on Saturday 26 October at Terang Recreation Reserve during the Spirit of Mercy Dinner.

 

How do I find out who wins?
Follow us on our Facebook page, or check back to this website after the draw for a list of prize winners.

 

What is the Car Raffle raising funds for?
This year our Car Raffle is raising funds for a new college bus to transport students to and from school events.

 

How will my private information be used?
Your personal information will be kept confidential and will only be used for the purposes of the raffle. Personal information held about you by Mercy Regional College can be accessed by contacting the College on 03 5593 2011.

 

How can I support the College and the Car Raffle?

You can then distribute them to your family, friends, work colleagues and customers.
