Entering a TopDraw competition online takes a couple of minutes once you know what to expect. This step-by-step guide walks through the whole flow, from picking a prize to seeing your ticket numbers in your account.
Choose a live competition
Start on the [live TopDraw competitions](/competitions) page. Each card shows the prize, the ticket price and the ticket cap, so you can quickly compare what is currently open. Tap any prize to read the full description, see the closing date and view the current number of entries.
If you are not sure what you fancy, browse the page first. There is no need to log in just to look.
Check the ticket price and ticket cap
Before you decide on a competition, check two key numbers: the ticket price and the ticket cap. The ticket price is how much each entry costs, and the cap is the maximum number of tickets that can be sold for that competition.
The competition page also shows the current number of entries, so you can see how full the draw is.
Choose your tickets
On the competition page, choose how many tickets you want. Some competitions have a per-user entry limit, which is shown clearly when it applies.
Add your selection to the basket. From the basket you can keep browsing, change quantities or head straight to checkout.
Use the bundle builder
If you want to enter several different prizes in one go, use the [bundle builder](/build-a-bundle). The bundle builder lets you put together a single basket across multiple competitions and check out in one go.
Bundles are a tidier way to enter when you have a few prizes in mind, and they keep your tickets organised in your account.
Complete secure checkout
Checkout is handled over a secure connection. You will need to be signed in to complete an order, so create an account first if you have not already. Existing customers can sign in and check out in a couple of clicks.
If a payment fails, no entries are recorded and the page tells you what to do next. You can also use the [free postal entry route](/free-entry) at any time.
View your ticket numbers
Once your order is confirmed, your ticket numbers appear in your [account area](/account) against the competition. From there you can review past entries, check upcoming draws and follow the result on the [TopDraw winners](/winners) page after the draw runs.
If you get stuck at any step, the [Help Centre](/faqs) covers the common questions. TopDraw competitions are open to UK residents aged 18 and over.
