FAQs
When does the midweek £2,500 draw close?
Midweek, as the name says, with the exact date and time published on this page before entries open. It is drawn automatically at 9pm that evening, sold out or not, and the full £2,500 is awarded either way.
How does an 80,000-ticket cap affect my chances?
It fixes your worst case. With 80,000 the maximum, a minimum order of 25 tickets is one in 3,200 if every ticket sells, and better than that if they do not. The number is published before you enter precisely so it is not a guess.
Is there a limit on how many tickets I can hold?
Yes, 2,500 in this draw, paid and postal combined. The largest bundle is 2,000 tickets plus 500 free, which reaches that limit exactly, and you can work out what any number does to your odds in our odds calculator before you commit. Free entries you have earned in the rewards layer are separate and sit on top of this, up to five per competition.
