Gone are
the days of licking stamps and writing your competitions answers
on the back of a postcard. And no more wasting money on the
farce that is the National
Lottery (How did Richard Branson not get the licence
to run it???!!). You can now try your luck on thousands of competitions
on the net - far more convenient, quicker and no need for stamps!
And you don't even have to go out to look for them - there are
dedicated competition websites (sad but true!), some of which
categorise prizes, which may prove handy if you're after the
latest DVD box set of Friends (keep taking those pills...).
NB Many of these sites will have
many like-minded visitors, and the chances of how lucky you
are depend on the sites popularity. Obviously the more competitions
you enter, the better your chances are (Obvious to some...).
There's better things to do than trawl the net hours on end
for competitions, but I have been known to enter a couple. My
best prize so far was an all paid expenses trip to the Euro
2000 semi final in Brussels (France 1 - Portugal 0). To start, take a look at our recommended sites below -
simply click on the name to visit the site. Good luck!
I came across
these sites many years ago, when I had nothing better to do
during my lunch breaks, so let me know whether any don't exist
anymore!

free
lottery games on the net
If you’re still waiting for those numbers
to come up on the National
Lottery then how about playing for free on the net. Although
the chances remain slim that you win a nice retirement sum,
at least the draws are free and usually you win something every
now and again. Even I have won on the net (under £100 and one
trip to Brussels so far).
Bananalotto
www.bananalotto.co.uk
- The best free online banana
themed lottery there is (No surprises there!). Just pick 6 numbers
and 1 bonus number and click on a banner to submit, the prizes
are awarded for 4 (£5), 5 (£50), 6(£10,000) and 6 + bonus ball(£100,000).
It's easy to register and it doesn't take long to play, we recommend
this one although the top prize has been reduced from a million
to £100,000. Still, it is free and I’m sure a 100k won’t go
amiss!
Gelotto.com www.rehabuk.co.uk
is a Lottery Game site for government licensed charity lotteries.
Players choose to support charities such as Rehab UK, Rehab
Ireland or any of the other worldwide charities soon to come

prizes to win. No purchase is necessary to play and no registration
fee is required! Kingolotto offers 10 free lottery grids every
day thanks to daily & special draws, including: Holiday's

Loopy
Lotto www.loopylotto.com
- This lottery is available in the UK and US only. The usual
applies, pick 6 numbers and 1 bonus number from a choice of
49, then click on an ad banner to enter. The top prize is £1,000,000
for correctly picking all 7 numbers. The prizes have changed
and you no longer can win 50p for matching 3 or more numbers,
instead you win 40 Eurmiles for 3 numbers and £10 for 4 or more
(This is probably different for U.S. players). These Eurmiles
can be used with Loopy Lotto’s affiliate site, Eurmiles.com,
where you can earn yourself free flights, probably not that
much use (I would prefer 50p), but at least you can now earn
more money for 4 numbers. You can play up to 3 times a day and
more if you refer friends, which is nice. Despite the loss of
the 50 pence prize this is still highly recommended, a must
join.
Lucky
Surf www.luckysurf.co.uk
- Yet another nice looking lottery, pick 7 numbers from
a choice of 50 for a chance to $1 Million. Other prizes are
£100 for 6 numbers and £5 amazon gift voucher for 5 numbers.
Simple to sign up and the time taken to enter is minimal, not
the best chance of winning a prize but probably worth a go.
Scratch
& Match www.scratchandmatch.com
- This is an online scratch card game by the same people
who run The Daily Draw. To launch your scratch card you have
to click on an ad banner. You then scratch off 12 panels out
of 25 in an attempt to find the stars, there are 15 stars and
10 blanks. If you reveal 12 stars you’re a winner. The top prize
is £100,000 and you can play twice a day. This is another good
little game and although I am yet to win that 100k prize I would
still highly recommend this one.
Striker
Million www.strikermillion.com
- Another great free lottery from the Daily Draw team with a
football theme (that’s soccer to you Philistines who have stolen
the word football to apply to a silly game where you mainly
use your hands). The lottery itself is exactly the same as The
Daily Draw, pick 6 numbers out of 64, prizes include: 4 numbers
= £10; 5 = £1,000; 6 = £1,000,000. You can play this game twice
a day and there is also a scratch card game called “Golden Balls”
(Nothing to do with David Beckham) where you have an extra chance
to win. If you have the time, then you have nothing to lose
and everything to gain, well worth joining.
The
Daily Draw
www.thedailydraw.com - Simply pick 6 numbers out of 64 for your chance to win
a million, and you can play twice a day. Cash prizes include
4 numbers = £10, 5 = £1,000 and 6 = £1,000,000. Overall a very
good lottery, the site is well designed and has a certain professional
quality, so give it a go.
