8 newest UK tech prize draws to enter this week

The newest UK tech prize draws worth a closer look

The newest UK tech prize draws in this week’s shortlist range from a 99p AirPods entry to a £20 low-odds iPhone draw. There are also less predictable prizes: a DJI drone, a Dyson robot vacuum and an LG washing machine and dryer bundle.

This is a snapshot captured on Saturday 17 October, filtered against the closing dates for Wednesday 21 October. Two earlier Apple listings in the original feed had already closed before publication, so they are not included. That small bit of housekeeping matters: a draw being described as ‘new’ does not make it available indefinitely.

Prices are only one part of the comparison. Check the entry rules, any free entry route, the closing time and whether a stated ticket limit is actually published. For a wider view, Find Competitions lists tech competitions by price, odds and end date rather than relying on the loudest product photo.

1. Apple AirPods 5 from Adrenaline Rush Competitions

Entry price: £0.99. Closing Monday 2 November at 8:30pm.

This is the most accessible entry on the list: a pair of Apple AirPods 5 for less than a pound, with considerably more time left than the draws ending this week. That makes it the sensible pick for someone who wants a modest spend and does not need a result by Friday.

The trade-off is familiar. A low ticket price tells you very little about your actual chance of winning. The source data does not state a ticket cap for this draw, so there is no basis for calling the odds especially good. If you are comparing several small entries, use the competition odds calculator once the listing gives you the relevant ticket numbers.

The listing is run by Adrenaline Rush Competitions. Its unusually long closing window, compared with most of this shortlist, is useful for budgeting but also means more entries may be sold before the draw closes.

2. DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo Plus

Entry price: £0.99. Closing Friday 23 October at 10pm.

Dream Car Giveaways is better known for vehicles, but this listing is a compact drone bundle rather than a set of keys. The DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo Plus includes the DJI RC 2 according to the prize name, which should appeal to anyone who would rather spend an autumn weekend filming the countryside than polishing a bonnet.

At 99p, it sits alongside the cheapest entries here. The important distinction is the prize itself: a drone is a specialist gadget, not a universally useful upgrade. Check the terms for delivery, eligibility and any flying restrictions before treating it as a ready-made weekend hobby.

This draw closes at 10pm on Friday, giving it a little breathing room after publication. It is one of the individual listings in this article, so you can inspect the DJI Mini 5 Pro competition rather than judging the entry from the headline alone.

3. iPhone 18 Pro 256GB low-odds draw

Entry price: £20. Closing Thursday 22 October at 10pm.

This is the expensive outlier in the shortlist, and the words ‘LOW ODDS’ are doing a fair amount of work in the title. Storm Competitions is offering an iPhone 18 Pro with a £20 entry price. The draw closes tomorrow evening, so it is aimed at readers comfortable with a larger single entry and a short decision window.

There is no stated ticket limit in the supplied data. That means ‘low odds’ remains a claim to verify in the terms, not a number we can independently repeat. A high entry price is not evidence of a good-value draw; it simply means you have paid more for your chosen entry.

Find Competitions also groups draws with published caps of 5,000 tickets or fewer on its competitions with the best odds page. Use the category as a starting point, then check the actual listing. Marketing language and a published ticket cap are not interchangeable.

4. iPhone 17 256GB from Rev Comps

Entry price: £0.99. Closing Wednesday 21 October at 10pm.

This Rev Comps listing closes tonight, which gives it the sharpest deadline in the group. The prize is an iPhone 17 with 256GB storage, and the 99p entry makes it the cheaper Apple phone option compared with the £20 iPhone 18 Pro draw above.

That price difference should not be mistaken for a like-for-like value verdict. The listings do not provide enough information here to compare ticket caps, total entries or sell-through. The sensible approach is to decide what the phone is worth to you first, then read the terms rather than being steered by the price of one entry.

It is also worth checking the exact closing time. A draw ending at 10pm is not the same as one ending at midnight, particularly if you are leaving it until after the school run or a late shift. The competition glossary explains terms such as sell-through and free entry route without the usual fog.

5. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and Buds 4 bundle

Entry price: £4.97. Closing Wednesday 21 October at 10pm.

Rev Comps also has a Samsung bundle comprising a Galaxy S25 Edge and Buds 4. At £4.97, it costs five times as much as the 99p iPhone 17 entry, but provides two connected devices rather than one handset.

That makes it a plausible choice for someone already using Samsung’s ecosystem, although the listing name alone does not tell us whether the bundle is more economical than buying either item separately. Nor does the supplied snapshot state a ticket cap. Those are gaps to resolve in the terms, not details to fill with optimism.

For readers comparing brands, Find Competitions tracks more than 400 entries in its technology competitions category. Filter by price and closing date, but keep bundles separate from single-product prizes: a longer product list can make a draw look better than it is.

6. Dyson Spot + Scrub AI robot vacuum cleaner

Entry price: £4.97. Closing Wednesday 21 October at 10pm.

A robot vacuum is less glamorous than a new phone, but arguably more useful. This black Dyson Spot + Scrub AI model is another Rev Comps listing at £4.97, closing tonight at 10pm.

The attraction is practical: a gadget that is meant to deal with floors while you do something else. The caution is equally practical. ‘AI’ in an appliance title does not tell you how well it maps rooms, handles steps or copes with an ordinary British hallway full of shoes. Check the exact model and included accessories in the terms.

As with the other Rev Comps draws closing tonight, do not assume the deadline will move simply because tickets remain. If you want to compare domestic appliances with other technology prizes, the full live UK competitions grid allows filtering by category and end date.

7. LG Series 7 washing machine and dryer bundle

Entry price: £5.97. Closing Wednesday 21 October at 10pm.

This is the most expensive of Rev Comps’ four listings closing tonight, at £5.97. In return, the prize name promises an LG Series 7 washing machine and dryer bundle, which has a more obvious household use than another pair of earbuds.

The catch is space. A washing machine and dryer are only prizes if you have somewhere to put them, and the listing name does not settle questions about installation, delivery or removal of existing appliances. Those logistics belong on the checklist before entry.

It is also a reminder that ‘tech’ now covers everything from smartphones to white goods. That broad category is useful for browsing, but poor for deciding value on its own. Compare the prize you would genuinely use, not the number of specifications in the title.

8. Apple iPad Air 11-inch with Magic Keyboard

Entry price: £2.97. Closing Wednesday 21 October at 10pm.

The final Rev Comps listing is an Apple 11-inch iPad Air, 256GB, in space grey, paired with an M3 Magic Keyboard. At £2.97, it sits between the two phone entries and the larger Samsung and Dyson prizes.

This may be the most versatile option for a reader who wants one device for browsing, streaming and light work. The keyboard matters: without it, the prize is a tablet; with it, the bundle makes a stronger case as a small laptop substitute. That does not make the entry mathematically better, though. No ticket limit is supplied, so check the draw mechanics before deciding.

The listing closes tonight at 10pm. If several entries appeal, write down a firm spending limit first. A quick look at Find Competitions’ competition spending calculator can turn a handful of apparently small entries into a monthly figure.

What to check before entering a tech prize draw

The shortlist contains eight draws still open on publication day, but ‘still open’ is not the same as ‘good value’. Before entering, check four points:

• Closing date and time: five of the shortlisted Rev Comps draws close on Wednesday 21 October at 10pm, so there is little room for delay.
• Ticket information: the supplied data gives entry prices but no ticket limits for these listings. Do not infer odds from a low price.
• Free entry route: read the terms to see whether one is available and how it must be used. A free route is only useful if you follow its instructions exactly.
• Prize details: confirm the precise model, storage, accessories and delivery arrangements. ‘Bundle’ can mean something substantial, or simply a few items grouped in a title.

For a broader check on how operators present their draws, the UK competition operator directory shows listed operators and their draw counts. It is a reference point, not a guarantee that every individual entry suits your budget.

The sensible shortlist from here

For the smallest outlay, the two 99p entries stand out: AirPods 5 from Adrenaline Rush Competitions and the DJI drone bundle from Dream Car Giveaways. The AirPods draw runs until 2 November, while the drone closes on Friday 23 October at 10pm.

Readers wanting a phone or tablet face a different choice. The iPhone 17 and iPad Air entries are under £3 but close tonight; the iPhone 18 Pro costs £20 and closes Thursday 22 October. The Samsung, Dyson and LG draws cost between £4.97 and £5.97, with household usefulness doing more of the heavy lifting than novelty.

That is the useful conclusion: choose the prize first, set the total amount you are prepared to spend, then check the rules and odds. The gadget photograph is decoration. The closing time and ticket mechanics are the information.
