Our paid competitions, which open on 30 October 2026, are limited to Great Britain for the legal reason set out in [section 3 of our terms](https://granddraws.co.uk/terms); that limit does not apply to this free draw and we will not narrow it after you have entered. Employees of the promoter, anyone professionally connected with the draw, and members of their households cannot enter. 3. **Free to enter.** No purchase or payment is necessary to enter or to win. Entering does not commit you to buy anything, now or later. 4. **How to enter.** Create a free Grand Draws account (or sign in), then click “Enter the free draw” at granddraws.co.uk/launch-draw and confirm you are eligible and have read these rules. **One entry per person.** Entries made through more than one account, false details or automated means are void. 5. **Dates.** Entries open at 00:00 UK time on Thursday 1 October 2026 and close at 20:00 UK time on Friday, 30 October 2026.

Before entries open we publish a commitment to a secret number and name a future drand randomness round; after the draw we reveal the secret number so anyone can recompute the result at /draw-check.

It goes ahead on this date however many people enter. 8. **Telling the winner.** We email the winner at the address on their account within two working days of the draw. The winner must reply within 14 days and complete a short check of identity, age (18 or over) and UK residency.

If events outside our reasonable control prevent the draw running on the date above, we will run it as soon as reasonably possible and explain why on this page. 13. **Social media.** This draw is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Meta (Facebook or Instagram), TikTok or any other social network, and entrants release those platforms from any liability in connection with it. 14. **Law.** These rules are governed by the law of England and Wales. ## Questions ### Is the launch draw really free? Yes. There is no purchase or payment to enter or to win, now or later, and entering never commits you to buy anything. You just need a free Grand Draws account. ### How do I enter? Create a free account (or sign in), then click "Enter the free draw" on this page and confirm you are eligible. That is it. One entry per person. ### When is the draw? Entries close at 8pm on Friday, 30 October 2026. The draw runs automatically at 9pm the same evening. It is not live-streamed: the result is published here and anyone can check it. ### How will I know if I have won? We email the winner using the address on their account within two working days of the draw. The winner’s first name and county are published on our site. ### How do I know the draw is fair? Before entries opened we published a commitment to a secret number and named a future round of the drand public randomness beacon, which nobody can predict. After the draw we reveal the secret, so anyone can recompute the winning entry themselves at /draw-check. ### Is this gambling? No. It is a free prize draw: nobody pays to take part, so it is not a lottery and not gambling. You must be 18 or over and live in the UK to enter. Our paid cash competitions open on 30 October 2026, from 99p a ticket. [See what’s coming →](https://granddraws.co.uk/competitions)
