For live-draw competitions, the odds shown are based on the maximum number of tickets — one ticket gives you a 1-in-{max} chance, and if a draw doesn't sell out your real odds are better. For instant-win competitions, we divide the total tickets by the number of instant prizes to show your chance of winning any instant prize; these are the odds at launch, published when the competition opens. Where a site doesn't publish ticket numbers, no honest odds can be calculated and we say so.
How the odds work on BOTB
We have no live BOTB draws with a fixed ticket cap listed right now, so there is no exact “1 in X” figure to show. Here is how entry and winners work on BOTB, and the best odds we can see elsewhere today.
How BOTB picks winners
It's judged, not drawn: a panel of professional referees and ex-players decides the ball's true position each week, filmed with an independent lawyer present, and the closest entry wins. Newer instant-win games use pre-allocated numbers instead.
Can you enter BOTB for free?
Free-ticket promotions run regularly for new and existing players; because entry is skill-based, the mechanics differ from raffle-style postal routes.
How to work out your odds
On a draw with a ticket cap, your odds per ticket are one in the maximum number of tickets. Buy 5 tickets on a 10,000-ticket draw and your chance is 5 in 10,000, or 1 in 2,000. If a draw sells out, those are your exact odds; if it doesn’t, your real chance is better. Draws with no cap have no fixed odds, because they depend on how many entries are sold.
