Garden prizes are where inflated pricing hides most easily: a “£1,200” rattan sofa set often sells for half that. We rank every live UK garden and outdoor competition by Value Ratio (lower is better) against the prize's cash alternative, and show both full-house and current odds — so an optimistic RRP can't flatter a draw into looking like a bargain.
Ranked best Value Ratio first — the same default ordering as the Showroom. Tap any card for the full breakdown, including your max odds (1 in the total ticket allocation) and current odds (1 in the tickets sold so far). Always check each operator's draw terms before entering.

Check the cash alternative, not the RRP
Garden furniture, hot tubs and outdoor kitchens are heavily discounted in the real world, so a headline “worth £900” is often the least useful number on the page. Where an operator publishes a cash alternative we use that instead — it is what they are genuinely prepared to pay out, and it makes the Value Ratio far harder to game.
Watch the ticket pool on angling bundles
This category also carries a lot of fishing and bivvy gear, and those draws often run enormous ticket pools — tens or hundreds of thousands of entries at 5p or 10p a go. The Value Ratio can still look reasonable while your individual odds are extremely long, which is exactly why every listing carries its odds alongside the ratio.
