Raffle.it

Ring the changes from the usual online auction sites and have a go at the good old fashioned raffle, with Raffle.it. 

Raffles in one form or another have always been popular with schools, village fetes and with charities. A raffle-based marketplace solves many of the issues auctions face - there's no dissapointment over not winning or paying too much and no undelivered goods. 

Raffle.it currently hosts raffles on behalf of Mothers4Children. As little as £1 could win you an amazing prize and the money will go to save a child's life. From a dinner at home cooked by top chef Tom Aitkens to a two thousand pound shopping spree at Net A Porter or a getaway at an award winning spa, just click to bid.

It's easy to do and paper free. Just click on, enter the number of tickets you want to buy and submit. The listing will tell you how long the raffle has left and how many other people have entered. Follow your chosen raffle on Twitter and check the blog for the latest hot items available to win.
