I don't like big houses! If my numbers rolled in i'd probably have a nice sized medium villa somewhere but never a huge place.

These seem to becoming the forums favourites, so hopefully soemone on here can win it for 19p! :thumbup:

Brand New Royal Enfield 650 GT Continental - Morgans Motorcycles - 21st May
Draw guaranteed for 21/05/2025
(Sales close 18/05/2025) regardless of ticket sales
Win the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 – Rocker Red for Just 19p!

Unapologetically bold and dripping with café racer heritage, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 in Rocker Red is a modern classic built for purists. Its striking red tank commands attention, paying tribute to the rebellious spirit of 1960s London motorcycling culture. The bike features a sculpted fuel tank with hand-painted pinstripes, blacked-out engine components, and a sleek twin-pod instrument cluster that nods to its vintage roots.

And the best part? You can win this brand-new GT 650 for just 19p per entry! That’s right—own a legendary machine for less than the price of a chocolate bar.

Powered by a responsive 648cc parallel-twin engine, the GT 650 delivers smooth torque across the rev range, paired with a 6-speed gearbox for spirited riding. With clip-on handlebars, rear-set footpegs, and a signature low-slung profile, it’s designed for an engaging, sporty ride without sacrificing comfort.

Whether parked outside a café or carving through backroads, the Continental GT 650 in Rocker Red is more than a motorcycle—it's a statement.

Draw guaranteed for 04/06/2025
(Sales close 01/06/2025) regardless of ticket sales
WIN THIS SUPER COOL MK1 GP LWB BUGGY FOR JUST 39p

Yes, really — this incredible, award-winning show buggy could be yours for as little as 39p.

Built from a 1968 Beetle, this MK1 GP Long Wheelbase Buggy was featured on the cover and in a six-page spread in the January 2015 issue of Volkswagen magazine.

Here’s what makes it stand out:



Rebuilt with two new floor pan halves
Chassis stripped, treated, and painted
Brand new front beam with adjusters
New brake system, pipes, bearings, ball joints, track rod ends, gaiters, and more
1300cc engine with a top-end rebuild
Modern unleaded-compatible fuel lines, new carburetor, and new clutch
Repainted in classic VW Taiga Green
Interior professionally trimmed with Corbeau bucket seats and rear seats in Westfalia plaid and green vinyl
Race-style harnesses in the front and lap belts for two rear seats
Surfboard-style rearview mirror
Fully rewired using an original Beetle harness, including a loud horn
This buggy even took home Best Buggy & Custom at Alive & Dubbin 2019.

A magazine-featured, show-winning classic like this doesn’t come around often — and you could win it for just 39p. Don’t miss your chance.

I can't even imagine why these wouldn't be more popular in what's mostly a cold, wet country where only about 2% of people live within 30 mins of a beach (that you can't drive on anyway) :)

(admittedly it's been summer forever currently)

I'd have it, if I had room, just for bombing around the country lanes.
Admittedly that one needs a less naff interior and phatter rear wheels

The Ultimate Head Turner - The Mini Shorty - 1L Austin - Fully Road Legal - 28th May
Draw guaranteed for 28/05/2025
(Sales close 25/05/2025) regardless of ticket sales
Meet Ernie – The Mighty Mini with a Big Personality!

Say hello to Ernie, a cheeky little head-turner and a true piece of British motoring history! Born in 1988, Ernie began life as a classic Austin Mini 1.0 – a car already steeped in charm and legacy. But over the years, he’s undergone an exciting transformation into the ultra-cool, bite-sized showstopper you see today: a fully customised Mini Shorty!



Customised to Perfection
Ernie's been given a whole new lease on life with a thoughtfully crafted Shorty conversion, designed to shrink the classic Mini silhouette into something even more unique, compact, and attention-grabbing. He's kept all the heritage and fun of the original but packed it into a smaller, sassier package.



Wheels that Wow
Rolling on stunning Minisport alloy wheels paired with barely-used tyres, Ernie doesn’t just scoot down the road – he glides with style. Whether parked up or on the move, these sleek wheels add both flair and function to this already adorable ride.



Fresh Looks Inside and Out
Ernie recently enjoyed a full makeover:



✅ Fresh Paint Job – Gleaming with a new coat that pops in the sunlight and protects against the elements.
✅ New Upholstery – Clean, comfy, and full of retro charm. Slide into a seat that feels like new.
✅ Tonneau Cover Included – Keeps him protected and stylish when not in use.
🚗 Low Miles, High Value
With just 14,000 miles on the clock, Ernie has barely stretched his wheels! He’s been lovingly maintained and recently had a fresh service, so he’s purring like a kitten and ready for many more adventures.



Fully Road Legal & MOT’d
Yes, Ernie may be small, but he's 100% street legal. With a valid MOT and all the necessary paperwork, he’s ready to roll out on road trips, Sunday drives, car shows, or just for turning heads in town.

It appears that Xclusive Competitions were scamming customers, by holding back major prizes in their instant comps. Their payment gateway Cashflows withdrew their service in the light of evidence uncovered. Xclusive rapidly laid of staff and shut down their website: https://xclusivecompetitions.com/

Evidence explained:

How many other sites are running similar scams?

Stay away from any multi win competitions, but I use the following from time to time...

https://www.revcomps.com/current-competitions/
https://www.clickcompetitions.co.uk/
https://7daysperformance.co.uk/
https://dreamcargiveaways.co.uk/competitions/cars
https://elitecompetitions.co.uk/

FWIW I won a macbook on Xclusive and the one I won was out of stock so rather than make me wait, they gave me an upgraded one. Shame they went rogue...

All of them, it’s gambling. There’s no winning in the long term otherwise the companies wouldn’t exist.

@Taipan keep a spreadsheet of everything you spend on the sites against the value of what you win as a balance against this stream of “opportunities”

TBH I dont really do many of them anymore. House and Villa ones I buy tickets on but stopped going for cars and bikes a while back now. Occasional ticket on good cash alternatives, but normally one the low ticket price (worse odds ) ones. I keep the tread going by listing just to keep the content up.

I'm in for the MSRT Transit, not because it ticks all our boxes, but it ticks a few and it's worth a pop.

Since there's no skill, knowledge or judgement required* lotteries should all be licenced by the Gambling Commission so it's their job to make sure people aren't getting ripped off.

Doesn't look like they're doing a great job.

* Licence requirements often swerved by adding a 'What's the capital of France?' type question and claiming that adds a knowledge element. :roll:
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.
