> How Grand Draws draws work: every competition is drawn automatically at 9pm on its closing date, sold out or not, and anyone can independently verify the result. Source page: https://granddraws.co.uk/draws # How the draws work. *Automatic, and independently verifiable.* When a competition closes, its draw runs automatically at 9pm using a verifiable random method we cannot influence. There is no live stream to catch; instead, the result is published and anyone can recompute it. Every draw goes ahead on its closing date, sold out or not, with the full advertised prize: we never cancel, postpone or shrink a draw because of low sales. ## What happens when a competition closes - Entries close and the final entry list is locked and published. - The draw runs automatically at 9pm on the closing date using a verifiable method, whether or not every ticket has sold. - Winners are selected at random from all qualifying entries, in accordance with the laws of chance, and the full prize is always awarded. - The winner is contacted directly, published, and paid straight to their bank.

The result is computed from a public randomness beacon we cannot influence, and anyone can recompute it independently. You never have to take our word for a result.

As soon as a draw runs, the winner is contacted directly and the result is published in our results and winners archives, where any result can be independently verified.
