Cheap UK Competitions Under £1

This page collects cheap UK competitions and low entry prize draws where a ticket costs under £1. Low-cost entry lets you spread a small budget across more draws, which keeps the experience fun without committing to a single high-stakes ticket, and it's a useful way to try a new operator before spending more. Cheap does not automatically mean poor value, though — the best value competitions are the ones where the prize is worth a lot relative to the total tickets on sale. Always check the total tickets on offer to judge your odds: a £0.79 entry into a 100,000-ticket draw has the same odds-per-pound as a £7.90 entry into the same draw, so use price and ticket count together rather than price alone.

Every competition listed has a current ticket price of under £1 after any active sale price. Prices are pulled from each operator's own listing and refreshed throughout the day, so the list reflects what is genuinely cheap to enter right now.

Not necessarily — ticket price alone doesn't determine value. The two numbers that matter are the prize value and the total number of tickets available. A low-cost competition in a small draw can offer better odds-per-pound than an expensive one in a huge draw.

Compare the published prize value against the number of tickets on sale, then divide by the ticket price to gauge odds-per-pound. A cheap entry with a strong prize-to-tickets ratio is better value than a pricier ticket in an over-subscribed draw. Every operator publishes ticket counts, so it's worth a quick check before entering.

Your realistic odds are roughly one in the total number of tickets that can be sold. Weigh that figure against the ticket price and the prize: a sub-£1 entry into a capped draw can be genuinely good value, while the same price in a draw with hundreds of thousands of tickets is not.

We refresh prices from operators multiple times per day. If you see a stale price, the operator's own site is always the source of truth — your entry is completed on their site, not ours.
