Market Report · August 2026
In August, the biggest prizes weren't cars. They were houses.
A month-end look at the UK competition scene from our ticket tracking. July belonged to the supercars; in August, property took the top of the board, with two luxury homes as the month's richest prizes.
August's story · property at the top
Supercars usually own the top of the prize table. In August they were pipped by bricks and mortar. The two richest prizes of the month were both houses from 7Days Performance A.
A Porsche GT3 RS (£300k) and a McLaren 600LT (£215k), both from Dream Car Giveaways B, rounded out the top four.
Where the money was
Even with houses on top, cars carried the most total prize value by a distance.
Who was busiest
Competitions drawn in August. A few sites run new draws almost daily.
Odds by price
We split August's competitions by ticket price and looked at how full they got. As in July, the under-£1 tickets sold the least of any paid band, so on average they closed with the best odds for the people who entered.
Typical (median) share of tickets sold at close, by ticket price. Lower means more unsold tickets, which means better odds for the people who did enter.
The odds
Same story as ever: most competitions didn't fill up. Only 9% sold every ticket in August and the median finished at 63% sold, so for the vast majority of entries the real odds beat the advertised figure.
The cheap end
August ran 936 free-to-enter competitions, and the cheapest paid entry was a single penny, a £1,750 cash draw at BOTB. The quiet, cheap comps that never fill up are usually where the best value hides.
