Dream Car Giveaways — How It Works
The complete guide to entering on Dream car giveaways — prices, draws, free entry and payouts.
At a glance
Overview
Dream Car Giveaways, founded in 2018 by a group of self-described petrolheads, is one of the UK's biggest car-competition brands — over 232,000 winners and more than £100m in prizes to date.
Draws run live four nights a week using Google's random number generator, ticket limits are fixed and published, and every draw goes ahead regardless of sales.
Who runs it
Dream Car Giveaways was founded in 2018 by self-described petrolheads Dave Hickling and Ben Andrews (registered company 11320154) and has grown into one of the UK's largest car-competition brands, operating from its own HQ where winners often collect prizes.
How to enter
Register, choose a competition, buy tickets from as little as 9p, answer the skill question and pay. A Dream Points loyalty scheme gives regulars small discounts.
Draws & winners
Live draws run Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on Facebook and YouTube using Google's RNG; some smaller comps use automated draws run by script. Ticket limits are published per draw.
Odds & transparency
Ticket limits are fixed and published per draw, flagship draws run live four nights a week on Google's RNG, and every draw proceeds regardless of sales. Smaller automated draws use a scripted random selection rather than the live process.
Prizes
Cars from everyday performance models to supercars, tax-free cash, lifestyle packages up to around £300k, instant wins, and the occasional £1m house draw.
Payouts & claiming
Winners are phoned on the night of the draw. Cash alternatives are offered on car prizes — one recent winner took £120,000 in place of a Porsche.
Free entry route
Postal entry to their Pershore PO Box; on competitions priced below postage cost, each postal entry is credited with multiple entries. A free website competition also runs weekly.
Responsible play
18+ with skill questions, but notably light on responsible-play messaging or tools compared with the best in the sector — set your own limits, particularly on the 9p high-volume draws.
Support & contact
Winner contact is famously immediate (a phone call the night of the draw); general support runs through the site and social channels.
Community & live draws
Hundreds of thousands of social followers, four live draws a week, and a constant stream of handover videos — one of the most-watched operations in UK comping.
Extras worth knowing
Prize values vary hugely between draws — judge each on its cash alternative and published ticket count rather than assuming a standard pot.
