Published by Hoardsy. We run a competition site too, so Hoardsy is never ranked here, but it sits in the table so you can compare. Facts link to each operator’s own pages: what the sites showed on 26 October 2026, and terms checked on 17 October 2026.
Lucky Day Competitions is the site for tractors, tools and farm machinery as much as cars, and its terms are clear on extensions and minimum entries. People look elsewhere for lower ticket prices, a site focused only on cars or cash, or postal entries with a stated equal chance.
Best Lucky Day Competitions alternatives at a glance
- Same promises, cheaper tickets: Dream Car Giveaways. Written no-extension and no-minimum clauses, car tickets from about 7p, and postal entries at the same chance.
- Similar catalogue and audience: McKinney Competitions. Houses, cars, tech and breaks with a ticket cap on every listing, from 9p for £1,000 cash auto-draws.
- Penny cash draws: Click Competitions. “Win £20,000 Tax Free Cash for 2p” when we looked, with published entry lists, though no written no-minimum clause was found.
What Lucky Day Competitions offers today
- A Massey Ferguson 35 at £2.97 a ticket (9,997 tickets), a two-bedroom modular home at £2.97 (29,997 tickets) and “Million Pound Cash Vault” instant wins at 97p (1,999,997 tickets). The home page says a cash alternative is available for all prizes. Source
- Clause 3.2 says dates are not extended simply to sell more entries; clause 11.3 rules out a minimum number of entries. Source
- Postal entries must arrive before the close and the cap, with matching account details. Equal chance for postal entries was not stated. Source

Why people look for an alternative to Lucky Day Competitions
- You want cheaper tickets. Most Lucky Day prizes we saw cost 97p to £2.97 a ticket. Several car and cash sites list tickets in single pence.
- You want postal entry spelled out. Some rivals state that a postal entry has exactly the same chance as a paid one.
- You only want cars or cash. A focused catalogue makes like-for-like comparison easier.
Lucky Day Competitions vs the alternatives, side by side
The same eight questions for Lucky Day Competitions, the picks above and Hoardsy (unranked). Short answers come from the linked source; “not found” means the checked documents did not say, not that the answer is no.

Lucky Day Competitions alternatives ranked on their terms
For a broad catalogue, this ranking rewards written promises on the two things that most often change after you buy: the closing date (20 points) and the prize when sales are low (20). Usable chance information and free entry information earn 15 each; a documented selection method, a cheap verified ticket and a dated review record 10 each. Lucky Day Competitions itself is left out, and so is Hoardsy, which publishes this page. A zero means the evidence was not found in the checked documents, not that an operator fails the test.
How the points work
- Closing-date certainty, 20 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.
- Full prize whatever sells, 20 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.
- Usable chance information, 15 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, 15 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.
- Documented selection method, 10 points. Full points for a locked entry record, subsequent independently public randomness and a reproducible check; half for a named random method or independent judging; zero if unverified. Half points do not imply unfair selection.
- Observed minimum ticket price, 10 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.
- Dated public review record, 10 points. Full points for a public review profile claimed at least five years ago; half for a verified shorter record; zero if unverified or prelaunch. Stars do not affect points. Profile age is not audited trading history or proof of prize payments.
Where Hoardsy fits
Hoardsy fits if you want fewer, clearer promises rather than a bigger catalogue: the price and the chance of every prize on each competition page, no extensions for slow sales, no minimum sales, free postal entry with the same chance and a winner picked by a public drand number after entries lock, which you can check yourself.
Hoardsy is new, so it has no paid-winner history yet. Read what can be checked about Hoardsy today, how a draw is checked and the instant win games guide.
Before you switch
- Match the prize. Compare the same kind of prize at the same total spend, not headline values.
- Write down the cash figure. A printed amount beats a percentage or “reasonably equivalent”.
- Read two clauses. What happens to the date, and to the prize, if sales are slow. Our guides on extended draws and minimum sales explain what to look for.
- Check the free route. Every UK prize draw needs a free entry route; read its address, deadline and whether it gets the same chance. See the ASA rules on free entry.
Questions about Lucky Day Competitions alternatives
What sites are like Lucky Day Competitions?
McKinney Competitions has the closest mix of houses, vehicles and everyday prizes. Dream Car Giveaways makes the same written promises with cheaper car tickets. The ranking compares them all on the same terms.
Does Lucky Day offer cash instead of prizes?
Its home page says a cash alternative is available for all prizes, and the terms say the amount appears in the prize description.
Does Lucky Day extend competitions?
Clause 3.2 says closing dates are not extended simply to sell more entries, and clause 11.3 excludes a minimum entry threshold.
What is my chance on a Lucky Day draw?
Divide your tickets by the cap. One ticket in the 9,997-ticket Massey Ferguson draw is a 1 in 9,997 chance if every ticket sells.
