DAYMADE alternatives
DAYMADE do not offer cash prizes, and they say so in their own FAQ and terms. If that is the thing you were looking for, you have your answer in one line and need not read their small print to find it. What follows is what a cash prize draw does instead, and the ways the two games genuinely differ.
Two different games, not two versions of one
DAYMADE’s main product is a number-match draw. You choose four numbers from one to fifty-five plus a bonus from one to ten, and draws run twice a week against a prize table. A capped prize competition is a different shape: a fixed number of tickets, one prize, one closing date.
That is worth saying before any comparison, because the two sets of odds are not comparable like for like, and anybody putting them side by side in a table is giving you a number that looks precise and means very little.
What they do well is the free route. Their terms state that entries made by the free alternative method are treated the same as paid entries and have an equal chance of winning a prize. That is the correct standard, stated in the correct words, and plenty of operators manage neither.

Subscription against buying when you feel like it
Theirs is a subscription: Premium at £2.95 a week, Lite from £1.50, with their own cap of £120 a month across paid products. That suits somebody who wants a standing entry and would rather not think about it again.
Ours is not. Tickets are 9p each in minimum orders of 25, so £2.25 is the smallest order, and nothing recurs. You enter a draw because you like that draw, and if you enter nothing for two months you are charged nothing.
And the prize is money
That is the whole difference, and the reason this page exists. There is no physical prize to receive, value, insure or sell, and no alternative to ask about, the prize was cash to begin with and it reaches a bank account.
Every competition publishes its ticket cap before entry opens, so your chance is a sum you can do, there is a free postal route on the same odds, and anyone can recompute the result. If you would rather pay nothing while you look, the free draw has no ticket to buy.
Common questions
Does DAYMADE give cash prizes?
No, and they are unusually direct about it. Their terms say no cash prize alternatives are available for physical prizes, and their FAQ answers the question "Do you offer cash prizes?" with "No, DAYMADE does not offer cash prizes." If cash is what you are after, that is a clear and early answer. Checked 2 November 2026.
How is DAYMADE different from a prize competition?
Structurally, quite a lot. Their main product is a number-match draw: you pick four numbers from 1 to 55 plus a bonus from 1 to 10, and draws run twice a week. A capped prize competition sells a fixed number of tickets for one prize instead. The two are different kinds of game, which is also why their odds and ours are not directly comparable.
Does DAYMADE have a free entry route?
Yes, by post, and their terms are explicit that it is equal: entries made using the free alternative method are treated the same as paid entries and have an equal chance of winning a prize. That is the right standard and it is well stated. Checked 2 November 2026.
What does each cost?
DAYMADE run on subscription: their FAQ gives Premium at £2.95 a week and Lite from £1.50, with a cap of £120 a month across their paid products. Here there is no subscription: tickets are 9p each in minimum orders of 25, so £2.25 is the smallest order, and you buy only when a draw appeals.
