What counts as a "big prize"?
For this page we list any active competition where the operator publishes a cash alternative of £10,000 or more. The cash-alternative figure is the most reliable apples-to-apples view of prize value across very different categories — a luxury watch, a sports car, and a property all have a comparable number attached. Operators don't always publish a cash alternative, so this list is intentionally curated rather than exhaustive.

Common questions
Where does the prize value come from?
It's the cash alternative published by the operator on their own listing — the amount they'll pay if the winner prefers cash to the physical prize. We don't estimate this ourselves.
Are bigger prizes always harder to win?
Usually, but not always. High-value draws often have more tickets, but the ratio of prize value to total ticket revenue is the figure that matters. Look at total tickets and ticket price to estimate your odds.
Can I take the cash instead of the prize?
In most cases yes — the cash alternative is offered specifically as an option. Check the individual competition's terms on the operator's site to confirm.
