The first result appears the moment the free £500 launch draw is made, on 30 October at 21:00. Every result is published in our [draw results](https://granddraws.co.uk/results) archive with the data needed to check it. ## How our schedule works ### 9pm on the closing date Every draw runs automatically at 9pm UK time on the date published on its competition page. There is no hosted event and nothing is streamed. ### It goes ahead regardless A draw is never cancelled, postponed or shrunk because of low sales. There is no minimum number of entries and no rollover, so the date you see is the date it happens. ### You can check the result Winners are selected at random from all qualifying entries, in accordance with the laws of chance, using a verifiable random draw. Recompute any result at [draw check](https://granddraws.co.uk/draw-check). More detail on the mechanism is in [how draws work](https://granddraws.co.uk/draws), and you can work out your own chances in any capped draw with the [odds calculator](https://granddraws.co.uk/odds-calculator). ## Common questions ### What prize draws are open right now? Right now 1 draw is open for entry. Every draw on this page shows its own closing date and time, and each one is drawn automatically at 9pm UK time on that date. ### When do new draws open? Our paid competitions open on 30 October 2026. After that, this page is the fastest way to see what is open, what closes next and what has already been drawn, because it is built from the same data as the competition pages themselves. ### What time are the draws made? Every draw runs automatically at 9pm UK time on its published closing date. It is not hosted and not streamed: the result is published instead, and anyone can recompute it themselves from the published seed and beacon. ### What happens if a draw does not sell all its tickets? It is drawn anyway, on its published date, for the full advertised prize. There is no minimum number of entries and no rollover, and we never move a closing date to sell more tickets. Fewer tickets in the draw simply means better odds for the people in it. ### Can I be told when a new draw opens? Yes. Create a free account and you get an alert when a competition opens, with no obligation to enter anything. You can also check this page, which updates whenever the board changes. ## Know the moment a draw opens Our free £500 launch draw is open until 30 October, and paid competitions open 30 October 2026. A free account gets you an alert on the day. 18+. ## Your ticket could be next Every competition has published odds, a draw anyone can verify and a free postal route. 18+.
