Updated 12 October 2026 · refreshed hourly from live data
As of 12 October 2026, we're tracking 642 live low odds competitions; the best Value Ratio is 0.94 against a market median of 2.54, and the shortest odds are 1 in 35. Shortest odds right now: Sundays £2,000 for £99 from Pristine Competitions.
Most UK prize draws sell tens of thousands of tickets, which puts a single entry somewhere around 1 in 50,000. The competitions below are the opposite: capped pools of a few hundred or a few thousand tickets, ordered by the fewest tickets first. Every row also carries its Value Ratio, because short odds on an overpriced ticket is not a bargain.

Current odds = 1 in the tickets sold so far, a live snapshot that assumes the winner is drawn from entries sold — always check each operator's draw terms. A “—” means we don't have live sales data for that draw yet.

What a ticket costs, and what it buys
Across the 642 live low odds competitions we rank, this is how ticket price and value line up right now. The median Value Ratio is the honest comparison — lower means more of your money is going into the prize rather than the operator's margin.
| Ticket price | Live draws | Median Value Ratio | Shortest odds in band |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under £1 | 234 | 2.50 | 1 in 149 |
| £1 – £2.50 | 242 | 2.90 | 1 in 46 |
| £2.51 – £5 | 81 | 2.33 | 1 in 60 |
| £5.01 – £10 | 22 | 2.07 | 1 in 85 |
| Over £10 | 63 | 2.00 | 1 in 35 |
Best value on average right now is the over £10 band, at a median ratio of 2.00 across 63 live draws. That is a snapshot, not a rule — a single well-priced draw in a worse band still beats a poorly-priced one in this one, which is what the ranking above is for.
Short odds and good value are different things
A draw with 300 tickets gives you 1 in 300 — genuinely good odds by the standards of this market. But if those tickets are £20 each, the operator is taking £6,000 for a £2,500 prize, and you are paying heavily for the privilege. Read the two columns together: the odds tell you your chance, the Value Ratio tells you what that chance costs. The best rows on this page are short on both.
Why small pools exist
Low-ticket draws are usually either a smaller operator without the audience to shift 50,000 entries, or a deliberately capped “low odds” product priced higher per ticket to compensate. Both are legitimate, and both are far better bets than a penny raffle with a quarter of a million entries — see competitions under £1 for the other side of that trade.
