Daily Draws To Enter For Free Instead Of Buying Lottery Tickets

I was one of those kids who dreamt that one day my parents would come home and tell us we won the lottery and were going on holiday the next day. Then I grew up and realised how unlikely winning the lottery actually is and what a sheer waste of money it is. You are so much better off investing the money you would have used to buy a ticket in the market each week. Let’s do the maths.

Google says a EuroMillions ticket is £2.50 and there are two draws a week so £5 to play both. If you invested that £5 per week or £260 a year and got a 6% per year average return for the next six years you’d have a pot worth £21,788. How cool is that!

And you don’t have to give up your dreams of winning a cash prize as there are a handful of free lotteries you can play online instead. Plus a savings account that comes with the chance to win a million pounds each and every month.

After finding these daily cash draws I just had to make them apart of my daily hustle routine. I’ve even made a highlight on my web browser so I can open all the draws in one click of a button – efficient right! Plus this way it literally takes a minute out of my day and the return could be fab!

Here are the four daily draws that I check each day in the hopes I’ve finally won something…

PICK MY POSTCODE

Pick My Postcode is the draw that keeps on getting bigger and better, now with 7 chances each and everyday to win a cash prize based only on your postcode. You simply register your postcode and then check the site each day to see if you’ve been lucky. The 7 different draws range from £5 to over £200 in cash prizes. The main draw is the biggest at a £200 prize minimum, it rolls over each day it goes unclaimed, and will be split among all the people who share your postcode and click the “collect” button before the next set of postcodes are drawn. Winnings are paid via PayPal.

WIN A DINNER

Win A Dinner is drawn everyday at 4pm and you can quite literally win a dinner in the form of a food-related gift voucher such as Pizza Hut, Just Eat or Toby Carvery. Alternatively you can claim the money via PayPal. Winnings are typically in the £20-£25 region.

FREEMOJI

Pick your 5 favourite emojis for a chance to win cash each day at 7pm. The draw starts at $20 and keep rolling over until the prize is claimed. It’s currently sitting at $720 which would be a pretty good win if ask me. They also have a fivers draw where you have five chances to win $5. So that’s six chances each day to win a cash prize.

MAKE MONEY WITHOUT A JOB

This is a side hustle site that I love! And added bonus that they run a daily cash draw! The prize pot starts at £10 and rolls over until claimed. The most I’ve seen it reach is around £200.

And on top of entering these four free daily draws, I also choose to keep my tax fund in Premium Bonds to keep my childhood dream alive that one day I’ll wake up a millionaire…

NS&I PREMIUM BONDS

When I first heard about Premium Bonds my mind was blown – as if you have the chance to win ONE MILLION POUNDS every single month just for keep your money in them. Crazy! But then I realised the chance of winning the jackpot is super slim and chances are you’ll only realistically achieve a 1.4% interest rate on your money. Prizes each month range from £25 to £1,000,000 for every £1 you keep in Premium Bonds. I kept my emergency fund in Premium Bonds for just over a year and want to know how much I won – a whopping £25!

That’s a return of 0.8% so my luck was below average, not a shocker given my experience with comping. I soon lost faith in the odds and the excitement of winning a million pounds soon wore off so I moved my money out of Premium Bonds and into something with a better interest rate. But then I went and committed to my freelancer lifestyle and decided to make this my tax account. The place where I put 20% of my earnings to cover me when the taxman comes knocking. Added bonus that I am back in the running to become an overnight millionaire.

Can you tell I love a good competition? I like having the slim chance of winning something without having to pay to play. So I will continue to take a few minutes out of my day to check these daily draws in the hope that my terrible luck will have changed!
