Updated 4 November 2026 · refreshed hourly from live data
As of 4 November 2026, we're tracking 34 live holiday & experience competitions; the best Value Ratio is 1.71 against a market median of 2.68, and the shortest odds are 1 in 225. Top of the table right now: 2 Nights for 2 at the Langham London Plus £500 Spending Money from Paragon Competitions.
Holiday competitions are usually awarded as a voucher rather than a booked trip, which actually makes them easy to price honestly — a £2,500 TUI voucher is worth £2,500. We rank every live UK holiday and experience competition by Value Ratio (lower is better) and show the odds on each, so you can see which draws are genuinely worth entering.
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.

Small ticket pools are common — and that helps
Unlike car or cash draws, holiday competitions are often capped at a few hundred entries, sometimes as few as fifty. That makes the odds dramatically shorter than almost anything else on the site, even when the ticket price is higher. A £30 ticket in a 50-entry draw for a £1,000 voucher is a very different bet from a 49,999-ticket Maldives draw at 80p — and the ranking lets you see that at a glance.
Voucher value is not always trip value
Read the terms on any “dream holiday” prize. Some are awarded as a fixed voucher that may not cover the trip pictured in the advert, and blackout dates or booking windows are common. Where an operator publishes a cash alternative we rank against that figure instead of the headline value.
