About Alpha Competitions

What we run

Two kinds of thing, and most of our competitions are both at once. There are the penny games, where a ticket costs 1p or 2p and the prizes are spread across thousands of tickets. And there are the instant win games — Bullseye, Lucky Spin, Penny Falls, Battleships, Whack A Mole and the rest — where some tickets carry a cash prize you find out about straight away.

Whatever you enter, the main prize is drawn live. Nothing is picked behind closed doors. How it works walks through the whole thing, start to finish.
