How it works
Three steps, one winner.
No luck of the draw. You choose the numbers; the rules find the winner.
Choose a prize
Every competition has its own prize, price per bid, bid limit and closing time, all shown before you enter.
Pick your bids
Choose amounts from £0.01 in 1p steps. Each amount is one bid, and you can use each amount once per competition.
The lowest unique wins
At closing, any amount picked more than once is out. The lowest amount left, picked by only one person, wins.

A quick example
Why a unique bid matters
Picking 1p sounds clever, and so it does to everyone else. Amounts that more than one person picks drop out. What is left is the lowest amount nobody else chose.
- Many people can pick the same amount
- Only amounts picked by exactly one person can win
- The lowest of those wins, however high it is
| Bid | Chosen by | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| £0.01 | Customers A and B | Chosen twice: out |
| £0.02 | Customers C and D | Chosen twice: out |
| £0.03 | Customer E | Lowest unique bid: wins |
| £0.04 | Customer F | Unique, but not the lowest |
| £0.05 | Customer G | Unique, but not the lowest |
Clear by design

Good to know before you bid
What does "lowest unique bid" mean?
You choose amounts from £0.01 upwards, in steps of 1p. Lots of people can choose the same amount. When the competition closes, any amount that more than one person chose is thrown out. The lowest amount left, chosen by exactly one person, wins.
How much does a bid cost?
Each competition sets its own price per bid and says so on its page, before you enter. The amount you choose to bid is just a number used to decide the winner. It is not what you pay.
How many bids can I place?
Each competition has a limit on how many bids one person can place, shown on its page. You cannot choose the same amount twice in one competition. The limit includes any postal entries you send.
Do I pay anything more if I win?
Each competition page says what, if anything, a winner has to pay. Read it before you enter.
Can I enter without paying?
Yes. Every competition has a free postal entry route. Postal entries go into the same competition and are treated in exactly the same way as online ones. See the free postal entry page for how.
What if nobody picks a unique amount?
Each competition says what happens in that case before it opens. The result is always worked out from the bids that were actually placed: nobody makes up a winning amount.
