Published by Hoardsy. Hoardsy is not ranked on this page. This is our comparison, with a declared method and dated links so you can challenge it. The comparison is a snapshot, not a live price feed. Last checked 17 October 2026.
A 10p ticket is a low price for one entry, not evidence of a strong chance or a small total spend. This cheap-competition ranking starts with a verified entry price of £1 or less, then scores the information needed to decide whether that price suits you.
How this ranking is scored
Ticket price supplies 30 points. The other 70 depend on chances, free entry, minimum-sales treatment and closing terms. This is deliberately a low-price-and-terms ranking: a site cannot secure all the points through a very small headline entry price alone. The price bands and all other tests apply equally to Hoardsy.
- Observed minimum ticket price, 30 points. Full points for an available verified ticket price of 10p or less, two thirds for 11p–50p, one third for 51p–£1, and zero above £1, when unverified, or when buying is closed. Planned prices do not earn current-price points.
- Usable chance information, 20 points. Full points for a numerical chance for a defined sampled outcome; half for a ticket cap and random selection; zero where neither is verified. Any-prize chances include small prizes and credit. This measures disclosure, not which site offers the greatest winning chance.
- Free entry information, 20 points. Full points for a published postal route and explicit equal-chance treatment; half for a verified route without equal-chance wording established; zero for an unverified route. Postal processing and visual prominence have not been audited.
- Treatment of low sales, 15 points. Full points only for an express commitment to award the prize or complete the draw regardless of sales. Zero for a shortfall clause or an unverified promise; the evidence distinguishes those cases.
- Closing-date certainty, 15 points. Full points for an explicit promise against extensions to sell more entries; half for a specified period with limited change provisions or countdown; zero where a commitment is unverified.
Each contribution is shown beside its source in the table. Missing evidence earns zero for that test; it does not establish that a service is poor, unlawful or unavailable. Partial points follow the rule above. Scores are rounded to one decimal place, then added; equal totals are ordered alphabetically without implying a quality difference. A review profile’s age is not proof of trading duration or completed prize payments. These are editorial evidence scores, not consumer ratings, probabilities or a regulator’s approval.
Cheap sites ranked on observed price and entry terms
Eligibility requires a sourced current or published planned minimum ticket price of £1 or less. Closed prelaunch entries are marked and receive zero current-price points. Sites with an unknown price are left out of this price-filtered table, rather than assigned an invented price. The observed minimum may relate to one competition and is not a promise that every ticket costs that amount.

Where Hoardsy stands on the same checks
We run Hoardsy, so it isn’t ranked or scored above. Here’s how it does on every check, with the source for each.
- Observed minimum ticket price: Paid entry is closed. Each competition lists its own ticket price. source (17 October 2026)
- Usable chance information: Competition pages publish ticket caps and the chance per ticket for each listed prize. A chance of any prize includes prizes below the entry cost and site credit. source (17 October 2026)
- Free entry information: Free postal entry on every competition, with the same chance as a paid ticket. Postage costs money. source (17 October 2026)
- Treatment of low sales: The published prize stands regardless of sales; there is no minimum-sales threshold. source (17 October 2026)
- Closing-date certainty: Published rules exclude extensions for slow sales; the stated closing date stands. source (17 October 2026)

Compare the cost of the basket
The number that matters to your budget is the amount you actually pay. A low unit price can sit beside a minimum order, a bundle or an entry limit. Before comparing two offers, write down how many entries the selected basket contains and its final price. Count entries added by a bundle only if the rules make clear that they receive the same chance in the same draw.
For an illustrative calculation, ten entries priced at 10p each cost £1. Two entries priced at 50p each also cost £1. The first basket contains more tickets, but that alone says nothing about the chance of winning because the pools and prizes may be different. These are examples of arithmetic, not current offers from any operator in the table.
Put price beside the ticket limit
For a single-prize draw where each valid ticket is equally likely to win, the chance is your valid entries divided by the total valid entries in the draw. A published maximum ticket count can give a worst-case chance if the rules guarantee that the prize is awarded and that no extra entry class falls outside that count. Check whether postal entries are included in the displayed limit.
A cheap entry in a very large pool can have a lower chance than a more expensive entry in a small pool. Compare the same total spend and the same kind of prize before drawing a conclusion. If a draw has several prizes, you also need to know whether one entry can win more than once and whether winners remain in subsequent selections. A headline ticket count alone cannot answer those questions.
Why the cheapest observed ticket is a snapshot
An operator may offer different prices for cars, cash, equipment and instant results. A low price observed on one page should not become a blanket claim about every competition that operator runs. Prices may also change between the date of this review and the day you enter. The source beside the score is the place to check the current offer and any conditions attached to it.
This ranking excludes an unverified price even when a directory or search excerpt advertises a very low figure. That keeps the comparison checkable. It also means a missing operator may have affordable competitions that this review did not establish. The list is a sourced shortlist, not a claim to have discovered every cheap ticket available across the UK.
Free postal entry has a different cost structure
A free entry route means no paid entry purchase is required under that route; it does not remove postage, stationery or the time needed to follow the instructions. Compare the permitted entries per envelope, the address and the receiving deadline. Read whether the draw has an entry cap and how the operator treats valid postal entries near that limit.
Keep the method simple: choose the competition first, read its free route, and decide whether posting makes sense for you. Do not assume one envelope can contain several entries merely because the online basket allows several tickets. Hoardsy’s postal entry guide explains its process, while each rival’s source must be checked separately.
Cheap instant games need two value checks
First compare the chance of each immediate cash award with the entry price. Second inspect any later draw attached to that entry. A small immediate award may be less than the ticket price, and site credit may have restrictions that cash does not. A page that combines all awards into one “wins” figure can hide those differences without changing the underlying arithmetic.
Use the instant win games guide to read Hoardsy’s published tables and the Plinko odds guide to see why every prize row matters. Hoardsy’s low-price product plans remain prelaunch at this review date. Published prices are evidence of the offer, not evidence that customers have already bought tickets or received prizes.
A low-cost shortlist you can maintain
Save the current competition page, price and terms before entering. Record the amount you spend across sites, not just the cost of the most recent basket. A series of small purchases can add up without any individual purchase looking large. Choose a limit in advance and do not increase it because an earlier entry did not win.
When returning to a favourite site, check the new draw’s price and ticket pool again. Familiar branding does not make successive competitions identical. If the prize, cap or free route has changed, the previous calculation no longer applies. The most useful cheap competition is one whose complete cost and rules you understand before you make the entry decision.
Frequently asked questions
Which competition sites have 10p tickets?
The scored table identifies verified observed prices, including any 10p entries in this review. Follow the dated price source to confirm the current competition. A site’s minimum observed price does not mean all its entries cost 10p.
Are 10p competitions better value than 50p competitions?
Price alone cannot establish value. Compare the same total spend, the prize schedule and the number of valid entries. More low-price tickets can still give a smaller chance when they belong to a much larger draw.
Does a cheap ticket mean there is a small maximum spend?
No. Unit price and total basket cost are different. Check the number of entries selected, any minimum purchase and the final amount before paying. Set your own limit across all sites.
Is postal entry always the least expensive route?
It depends on postage, permitted entries per envelope and the competition’s rules. Free postal entry avoids buying a paid ticket under that route, but posting still has practical costs and deadlines.
Why are some operators absent from this cheap list?
This table requires a verified minimum ticket price of £1 or less in the checked evidence. An absent site may have cheap entries, but an unverified claim is not enough to pass the filter.
