About this prize
Our weekly paid instant win game. Every prize is attached to a ticket number before entry opens, so the moment your numbers are issued you know what they hold. 700 of the 40,000 tickets carry a prize — about 1 in 57 — and the £100 jackpot sits on 2 of them, which is 1 in 20,000. Most tickets win nothing. A free postal route holds real ticket numbers from the same pool, on exactly the same terms as a paid one.
- £1,000 of cash prizes placed before entry opens
- Published odds: about 1 in 57 per ticket, 1 in 20,000 for the £100
- Prizes pinned to ticket numbers beforehand, and the placement published after close

Instant wins
Reveal instant prizes the moment you enter, and you’re still in the main draw.
700 instant prizes worth £1,000 are hiding in the tickets.
Your chance of an instant prize is 1 in 57 per ticket, from 700 prizes still unclaimed across 40,000 remaining tickets. It improves as prizes stay unclaimed and worsens as they are won.
Every instant prize is attached to a particular ticket number before entry opens, using a seed we publish a fingerprint of in advance and the seed itself once the competition closes, so the placement can be checked afterwards and cannot be changed once tickets are on sale.

FAQs
What are the odds on the £100 instant win?
The £100 sits on 2 ticket numbers out of 40,000, so 1 in 20,000 per ticket. Any prize at all is about 1 in 57. The full board is published: 2 x £100 cash, 8 x £25 cash, 30 x £10 cash, 60 x £5 cash, 100 x 5 free entries, 500 x 1 free entry.
When is the result decided?
Before you enter. Every prize is attached to a ticket number before the competition opens, and we publish a commitment to that placement in advance. When your numbers are issued, the result is a lookup, not a draw. After the competition closes we publish the secret so the whole placement can be checked.
Can I enter for free?
Yes. The free postal route receives real ticket numbers from the same pool, on exactly the same terms and the same odds as a paid entry. It is not a lesser route, and it is what keeps this a prize competition rather than a lottery.
Why can I only buy in bundles?
Tickets are 11p and every card transaction costs us a flat fee on top of a percentage. A very small order gives nearly all of itself to that fee, so the smallest bundle is the point at which the competition still works. It is an honest floor, not a nudge.
How do I get paid?
Cash prizes are checked and paid by bank transfer to an account in the winner’s own name. Free entries are added to your account automatically and can be used on any open competition. There is never a fee to claim anything.
