Launched in 2019, Lucky Day Competitions is another pay to enter prize draw site that heralds from across The Irish Sea. The company is based in Forkhill, Newry and trades as Ace Competitions Limited in Northern Ireland. According to their website they've given away over £75million in prize value, creating over 30,00 winners whilst buliding a following of almost 300,000 followers. In terms of platform we think Lucky Day Competitions utilise Wordpress alongside the Woocommerce Lottery plugin. The site says it was designed by Drive Digital who cite Apex66, another pay to enter prize draw site as one of their projects. There's a lot going on on the Lucky Day website and it really could do with some prize categories as it has everything and it's dog listed!
What Prizes Can I Win?
You name it you probably can win it on this site. Whilst some are content with a few gadgets, few cars or some cash comps, Lucky Day cover a wide range of prizes. At time of writing (June 2025) these included Robot Lawnmower, Dyson Hair Bundle, Robot Vacuum, Home Gym Bundle, Autosmart Detailing Goodies, £10000 Cash, DJI Air 3S Drone, Fidhing Goodies, Nintendo Switch 2 and a Snooker Table. But that's not all. You could also try and win Mini Cooper Sport, Scania R500 Lorry, Hitachi Excavator and a John Deere Tractor. Cash alternatives are available for all prizes (unless stated). Ticket prices range from 97p up to just under £25 (that's for the lorry) plus some of the promotions do include an instant wins element. Lucky Day Competitions are also one of the few platforms that has ventured in to win a house competitions.How To Enter Lucky Day Competitions
Entering the various prize draws at Lucky Day is relatively easy. Simply select the prize you'd like to try and win, answer a multi-choice question and purchase tickets. From what we can see most of the questions only have two options and generally the answer is obvious. For example "John Deere released the R series in which year?" has the options 1949 and 1869. It's pretty unlikely to be the latter but you can always head for Google just to check your answer as you're not told if you're right or wrong. Each draw has a limited number of tickets and the current status of the draw is clearly indicated. One thing to be wary of with this site is that the ticket sales indicators are different to most sites. Lucky Day show tickets remaining not sold and that can get confusing. A no purchase entry route is available for all prize draws and these are outlined in the terms and conditions. Given the price of tickets versus stamps then it's only really a useful option for the more expensive draws.
Do Lucky Day Competitions Have Winners
All draws are hosted live via social media streaming. Lucky Day say that they use Google’s Random Number Generator to randomly select the winning number for each competition. If you miss a draw then you can always catch up as all draws are retained and even included on their own live draws page. This is something that we really like! Many of the winners listed are based in Northern Ireland and Ireland but some prizes do make their way across the water to England and Scotland. For example Toby Austin from Bedfordshire won a choice of a Scania R500 Truck or £12,000. It might be worth checking delivery details for some prizes such as tractors before entering! He opted for the cash! Some winners get lucky and win more than once and scrolling through the winners lists we've spotted second and third time winners.Responsible Play & Other Reviews
Lucky Day Competitions is another site without any reference to responsible play. Of course they don't have to do this but if you're dealing with entrants regularly spending money on what can become addictive promotions then it's not a bad thing to include. It shows you have the welfare of your audience at heart. We couldn't see anything in the FAQ with respect to closing accounts, cooling off or deposit limits. As they're not working with a platform like Zap then it may not be something they can implement? Reviews on Trustpilot are mostly positive although we think that they've been touted for. However the most of the 1* reviews are of the pointless "i've not won" variety which really doesn't help anyone either way.Our Verdict
This is an impressive set up and there are plenty of good things to like about Lucky Day. The clarity and transparency on prize draws and winners is excellent plus the price points are attractive. The mixture of prizes is interesting and whilst not everyone may want to win a tractor there's still plenty of other options. Don't be disheartened by the number of winners from Northern Ireland and Ireland as the site is based there and no doubt targets players from the area. One thing we would like to see is some kind of Begambleaware or Safe Play section. It's not a legal requirement but in our view it's better for big competition sites to start protecting players than wait for The UKGC to come in and force them to do it along the lines of slots, casino and bingo. Showing the tickets remaining to look like tickets sold is a minor irritation.
