The Worldwide Cancer Research Grand Prize Draw is coming to an end 

The Grand Prize Draw programme has been part of Worldwide Cancer Research’s story for four decades – and you’ve been an important part of it too. Thanks to incredible Curestarters like you, the programme has helped to fund over 2,000 research projects over the last 40 years. By playing the draw during this time, you have brought us closer to the day when no life is cut short by cancer. 

Over the years, the Grand Prize Draw has helped fund innovative, life-saving cancer research projects in countries around the world - research that may otherwise never have received funding. These discoveries are bringing us closer to preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer more effectively.

How do I know that the Grand Prize Draw that I received in the post is genuine?

Our invitation only Grand Prize Draw will always come to you in the post, and each pack will contain a unique Prize Draw Number for your entry. If you have any concerns at all that a mailing you have received may not be a genuine Worldwide Cancer Research mailing, please get in touch and we can double check for you. 

What prizes can I win?

We want as many of our generous Curestarters to win as possible, which is why there are multiple prizes to be won in each of our Prize Draws.

Why is the Grand Prize Draw coming to an end?

Sadly, we are closing the programme due to rising delivery costs. Our decision was not an easy one, but we must ensure that every generous pound donated has the biggest impact on supporting discovery cancer research.
