Midweek, as the name says, with the exact date and time published on this page before entries open. It is drawn automatically at 9pm that evening, sold out or not, and the full £2,500 is awarded either way. ### How does a 3,200-ticket cap affect my chances? It fixes your worst case. With 3,200 the maximum, one ticket is one in 3,200 if every ticket sells, and better than that if they do not. The number is published before you enter precisely so it is not a guess. ### Can I hold more than one ticket? Up to 100 in this draw, paid and postal combined. Bundles go up to eighty-five tickets plus fifteen free, which is the 100-entry limit exactly, and you can work out exactly what any number does to your odds in our odds calculator before you commit. ## More draws to enter Same draw, same odds, no purchase necessary.
