The date and time for each competition draw is clearly stated on the competition entry page. Every draw is guaranteed to take place at the specified time, no matter how many tickets have been sold.
Your order will show as cancelled if the payment was not completed or if the payment failed. Orders are automatically cancelled after 10 minutes if we do not receive a successful payment.
Traditional Draws: All of our traditional draws are conducted live on our Facebook and YouTube pages for transparency. We use a random number generator to pick the winner. We confirm we’re live by interacting with the audience, answering questions and reading out comments. If a competition does not sell out and the first number drawn is unsold, we’ll continue generating numbers until we have a winner.
Instant Wins: Instant wins are awarded when your ticket number matches one of the pre-assigned winning numbers. If your ticket matches any of the listed numbers, you win instantly! The end prize, if any, will be part of a traditional draw.
You can find your draw ticket number in three ways:
– On the confirmation page after entering a competition.
– In the confirmation email sent to the email address registered to your account.
– By logging into your account, going to the ‘Dashboard’, and selecting either ‘Current’ or ‘Past’ competitions. Click ‘View ticket numbers’ to see your tickets.
Even if a traditional competition does not sell out, the draw will still go ahead, giving you a better chance of winning! The draw will take place at the time stated on the competition page, and all purchased tickets remain valid. A random number will be drawn until we have a winner. If any instant win prizes are not claimed before the competition ends, they will be forfeited, but all tickets will still be entered into the end prize draw, where applicable.

Instant win competitions have predetermined prize-winning numbers assigned at the start. If one of your ticket numbers matches a prize-winning number, you win that prize instantly! Some instant win competitions also include an end prize, where all participants are entered into a final draw for a bigger prize, which will be conducted as a traditional or automated draw.
