Why we’re extending the main property draw

Since the beginning, we’ve been committed to doing life-changing things. We changed Lois Wright’s life in August 2019 with a cash prize of over £173,000, and with our customers’ help raised about £14,000 for our two homelessness charities. We’re really proud of that.

But this time around we want to make one of our customers a homeowner, Stamp Duty and legal fees paid, and that’s why we’re extending our competition to July 31.

In mid-December, we announced that we were about 12,000 entrants away from our 60,000 ticket threshold. We’re now tantalisingly close to our goal and that’s why we‘re going to extend our main property competition so that one of our customers can walk away with the jackpot prize, a £500,000 property they can call home.

We’re planning on guaranteeing the property as the prize in due course. However, while that’s not quite possible just yet, we’re really excited about what that will mean for our customers when the time’s right. Read on to learn more.

Are my tickets still valid?

Yes, any tickets bought for the main property competition are still valid.

When will the competition now close?

The new closure date is set for July 31 2020. However, we have the ability to bring our new draw date forward and aim to do so when we hit our target.

Will the weekly £1,000 cash-prizes continue?

Yes. We’ve found that they help us sell more tickets to the main draw while not impinging on our ability to maintain a growing fund for the property. It’s a win-win and we love sending our weekly congratulations messages to our winners!

What’s the chance you’ll ever guarantee the property?

Based on ticket sales growth, an engaged and growing customer base, and with less than 10,000 entrants now required, we’d say extremely high. We’re frustrated by having to extend the competition's deadline but we’re doing all that we can to bring forward the draw date. In fact, our new referral scheme could make all the difference. In fact, should just 25% of our customer-base refer a single friend each, we’d award the property tomorrow.

How does the new referral scheme work?

Spend a couple of seconds sharing your unique and trackable referral link from your account and we’ll give you 3 free entries for every friend that buys a ticket. And they’ll also get a free entry too.

You can refer as many people as you want and simply email or text your link to your contacts. Also, our new referral system allows you to track who’s activated their referrals and who needs a gentle reminder.

What? No apology?

Not quite. By way of apologising for the delay, we’ve awarded all account holders a free entry that is now available on their accounts to redeem. If that’s you, head here to redeem it.
