You might have heard of free daily draws such as The Free Postcode Lottery. I love them so much that I’ve included them in my post about how to make £100 each and every month. Here’s a roundup of the free daily draws that are worth entering, including the latest draw to launch on this very website!
What are free daily draws?
Free daily draws are competitions where you enter once and then every day you are automatically enrolled into the draw.
The prizes can vary from cash prizes to vouchers.
The websites running the draws make an income from advertising, so that’s why you have to check back every day to see if you are the winner.
Why should you enter free daily draws?
Free daily draws take just a few minutes to check every day, and you can win!
It is literally free money!
What I have won from free daily draws
I have had some lovely prizes from free daily draws over the years!
I won a £50 Amazon voucher from the Ashleigh Money Saver’s daily draw (unfortunately now closed).
I also have won twice on The Selfie Lottery, and once at Badger The Button (also now closed).
MakeMoneyWithoutAJob Free Daily Draw
Did you know that we have a brand new daily draw right here?
We are giving away £10 per day, and if it isn’t claimed then it gets rolled over to the following day, increasing the prize pot.
Pick My Postcode
One of the first and the best, Pick My Postcode used to be known by ‘The Free Postcode Lottery’.
With a daily prize pot in the hundreds of pounds, and multiple draws taking place across the website, this is one that you do not want to miss.
To sign up you will need to enter your Postcode and email address, then enjoy!
Free birthdate lottery
There are loads of ways to win cash at the Free Birthdate Lottery. To enter, simply register with your date of birth and then check the main draw for £10 which is currently held once a week on a Friday (at 11am) to see if you have won. As the website gets more members then the draws will increase, with the next target being two prize draws a week. All this information is easily found on the home page.
If you are lucky enough to win then claiming your prize is really simple. Check the website and click on “claim your £x” before the next draw takes place. Winnings are paid out via Paypal or BACS.
How to support free daily draw websites
Now that I have had my own daily draw built I can appreciate the time and money that goes into developing and running these draws.
Mine cost us thousands of pounds to put into place – that’s before giving away any money.
There are a few things you can do to support these free lottery websites so that they don’t have to close. We have seen many of them close over the past few years.
Allow adverts
The first thing you can do is to turn off adblock. This allows the websites to display adverts and earn revenue from them. You are getting the chance to win free cash, so it is the least you can do.
Get involved in their social media
By following your favourite free lottery websites you can help them out in more ways than you realise! You can be as active as you want – simply liking them on Facebook or following them on Twitter helps them, but did you know that Facebook and Instagram’s algorithms mean that the more people who interact with a page’s posts, the more they show others that post? Social media services are trying to encourage page owners to pay for their posts to be seen by more people, but simply hitting “like” when you see an update from your favourite websites means that more people will see it and increase the reach of the post. Even better, you could comment on updates, share or retweet to get the word out.
Higher social media followers also mean that behind the scenes the website owners can use these numbers to secure future advertising deals or even competitions for their followers.
In short: following and engaging with them on social media will help them out.
Tell others about them
Free lottery websites rely on advertising revenue, so whilst you might want to keep the entry pool small, the more members there are then the better! More members means that there are more people clicking on the websites regularly, so they can offer more incentives to keep readers coming back. This could be a bigger prize pot, more regular draws, additional prize draws or something else that is a benefit to the users!

Hi, Emma!
I’ve been enjoying your blog(s) for over two years now. Gosh!
It’s really nice to read about some of the ideas you write about! Sometimes though, the various services you mention only work for the people living in the U.K. I am frankly a European person outside the U.K. ( 🙁 )
It would be awesome, if you’d remember to leave a note about whether some service is only limited to people in England or if everybody is welcome to join in the upcoming posts. I’m sure that I am not the only “foreigner” reading your blog.
(E.g. I got pretty excited about matched betting, but when e-mailed the people at Outplayed.com (Previously Profit Accumulator), they said that they only work with U.K. residents, as it doesn’t work that well elsewhere. Bummer.)
Anyway, keep up the good work! (And thanks for the good work so far! 🙂 )
Hi Al, thank you for visiting.
You’ve definitely given me a lot of think about – perhaps I could set up a blog that focuses on earning opportunities within Europe? I like to write about things I’ve tried myself on From Aldi To Harrods so give the best advice I possibly can.
I’d love to hear your ideas!
Well, I guess setting up a new blog depends on the amount of free time to manage it all. (I’ve read that time is something we all rather lack of!)
What I had in mind firsthand, was that since you research the things you try anyway, you might occasionally stumble on info about geographical limitations as well. So when that happens, it would be interesting to read about it.
I’m thinking ‘tags’ might help with this matter… 🙂
