FAQs
Where does the £5,000 draw sit on the board?
In the upper middle. Its 133,750-ticket cap is larger than the £1,000 and £2,500 draws and smaller than the £10,000 one, so the odds are longer than the small draws and shorter than the top prize, which is the trade for the bigger sum.
What is the most I can spend on this draw?
Your own limit, inside a cap of 2,500 tickets per person, paid and free combined. We would rather you set a monthly spend limit in your account first and stayed inside it. A bigger basket improves your odds proportionally, and never guarantees a win.
Does the £5,000 draw go ahead if it does not sell out?
Yes. It is drawn on its published closing date for the full £5,000 whatever the sales figure. There is no minimum number of entries and no rollover, and fewer tickets in the draw means better odds for everyone in it.
