Cash is the prize everyone understands. UK cash competitions let you win tax-free money from a low ticket price — and because prizes are paid straight to your account, there’s nothing to ship and nothing to sell on. Here’s how they work.
Why the cash is tax-free
Genuine competition winnings are not treated as income in the UK, so a cash prize is yours to keep in full. There’s no tax to pay on the amount you win — it lands in your account and can be withdrawn to a verified account in your name.
Two ways to win cash
You can win cash in two ways on the same ticket:
- The headline draw — a random draw for a large cash jackpot when the competition closes.
- Instant wins — some tickets are attached to instant cash prizes that pay out the moment you enter, on top of your place in the main draw.
How the cash is paid
Cash and site credit are applied to your account automatically. Once your age and identity are confirmed, you can withdraw winnings to a verified account. No cheques to cash, no vouchers — just money in your balance.
Transparent draws you can check
Every cash draw is random and backed by a published entry list, so you can verify the winning ticket for yourself — the same transparent process used for every prize on the site. Winners are posted on the results page.
Always a free entry route
As with every competition here, there’s a free postal entry with the same chance of winning, so you never have to pay to take part.
