It was March 2024 and had been a crazy weekend for Luke and his friends. They had enjoyed (probably too much!) a stag weekend in Prague and had just touched down in the UK. They were travelling home by car, tired and hungover, when Luke received a call from Dan Osborne. After a chat with a bemused Luke, Dan told him he’d won an incredible £40,000 in our online draw!
Luke’s first reaction was one of disbelief: “I’d completely forgotten I’d entered it!” Luke explained, “I couldn’t believe it and just sat there stunned for a minute or two, and then it clicked”. At that point he didn’t remember he’d even entered a competition online to win cash. He’d entered and must have put it to the back of his mind.
Even after the call, his friends were still convinced it wasn’t genuine. They immediately started doing research saying “It’s a scam.” However, in great Prize Paradise fashion, the money was in Luke’s account within half an hour! “I was so impressed! I was glad I got it on the way home from the stag do, not the way there!” he laughed.
So with his winnings safely intact (and not spent in Prague!), Luke decided to do something life-changing with them. “My win massively impacted my life in a great way. I was at the time working two jobs to try and save enough money for a deposit on a house. That win put me forward in life by at least five or six years.” So, simply entering a Prize Paradise online draw changed Luke’s life forever. Luke admits that having that money suddenly in his bank was briefly tempting to maybe buy a flash car. But he decided to use it to make his life better in the long term. “I had it in my mind that that’s what I was saving up for, that’s what I’m working towards”.
This is the sort of story that we love at Paradise HQ. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Genuine online competitions really can – and do – change lives. Take it from Luke: “Within a month or two I had a mortgage advisor on the phone.” He says: “and now here I am sitting in my new place.”
Luke is quick to admit that with so many scammers around, he was reluctant to take part in any online cash draws at first. “It’s difficult to know which ones are trustworthy.
“A co-worker had won £20,000 on Prize Paradise a couple of months previously and she encouraged me to play.” His colleague’s win had reassured Luke that Prize Paradise is genuine, but he didn’t expect to win quite so quickly! “It was such a strange coincidence. She only lived 10 minutes away from me at the time.” It just goes to show the legitimacy of Prize Paradise competitions and online raffle. Literally anybody who enters can come away with a big cash prize: “I didn’t expect to win at first. I only bought about 10 tickets so it didn’t cost me much, and it has helped me out massively. I’d recommend Prize Paradise competitions to anyone.”
Now, most people like a little flutter every now and then. Maybe it’s just putting a pound on a horse in the Grand National, or joining a work sweepstake. For some being in a lottery syndicate is as far as they want to go. But for some individuals, entering competitions online is how they earn a living.
But what does winning actually do for our psyche? Is there more to that feeling of winning cash than increased financial security? Research has shown that the psychology of winning revolves around a combination of effects on the brain. Especially when playing luck-based competitions like online prize draws.
We all know that feeling of anticipation when entering a competition: hope plays a key role. The anticipation of playing, of watching the events take place, of winning – no matter the type of competition, or the prize. The possibility of winning triggers the same dopamine rush whatever. Whether you are playing in big stakes casino games, or entering a cash prize draw for pennies with Prize Paradise. The high you will feel is just the same. And sometimes the prize is the same too! Low risk online competitions often come with the same big value win as higher stakes games.
Of course, there’s always a risk with any contest that involves luck. However, minimising that risk by entering competitions with low entry fees definitely enhances the high you’ll get when you win! £20,000 prize from a 30p entry? There’s not much that feels better than that! So what happens in our brains when we do win? Well, the instant gratification we feel is due to the release in the brain of a host of neurochemicals:
This cocktail gives us what is known as the ‘winner effect’ for those lucky folk that win money or prizes online, or off. They don’t just experience the amazing rush of success with those feel good hormones. Also, the neurochemical changes can actually create new pathways in the brain making it easier to attain that feeling again. Think muscle memory that gives people the confidence that they can win after all! That sense of positivity can actually boost a person’s performance in lots of areas of life. We’ve all heard what they say about positive energy attracting positivity, and we’ve heard it from some repeat winners at Paradise HQ. They swear by positive thinking – but that’s a whole other story for another time. For now, relax and enjoy the buzz you feel when you win with Prize Paradise, there’s nothing quite like it.
It’s a fair question for players of online competitions, and one that we are more than happy to answer. Here at Paradise HQ, we have nothing to hide and operate in a completely transparent environment. We believe that anyone entering competitions online (or off) should be wary. It’s important to protect yourself from scammers by making all the checks necessary. Because, unfortunately, there are a lot scammers operating in the online competition space. However, you can feel safe in the knowledge that we are definitely not one of them. We are extremely proud that Prize Paradise is rated the number one competition website on TrustPilot.
As our regular players know, Prize Paradise offers low cost, low odds competitions every day. With a limited number of entries into our online prize draws, your chances of a win increases significantly. We will never oversell a competition to increase our profits. We want to give players the best chance to win cash or a car, or sometimes a fantastic holiday. You are much more likely to win a Prize Paradise online draw, than say, the National Lottery. It’s a formula that works. We have changed the lives of so many of our players in ways we could only have dreamed. You can read more on that in this Stories section.
So rest assured, you and your data are in very safe hands. Did you know that since starting the site in 2020, Prize Paradise has given out more than £20million?! It boggles even our minds but we absolutely love giving away cars, holidays and cash prizes! The happy reactions we receive from winners makes everything worthwhile. We love to receive emails and messages telling us how much difference a prize has made to someone’s life. It really is the reason we get up in the morning and love what we do.
Definitely not, as you will see if you tune into our live draws. An online random generator picks the number, and our famous wheel selects the colour. This combination is the winning ticket! Again, a totally random ticket wins auto draws, generated by the system, and the computer assigns the instant win prizes. There is no human interaction at all, so we couldn’t rig it even if we wanted to – which we don’t! We get too much of a buzz from notifying the winners – usually contacted immediately by email and sometimes by phone. We then ensure that the winner receives payment for cash prizes within an hour – our customers love this! Of course, the lovely Dan delivers some prizes in person! All winners are posted onto the Draw Results page straight away, so there could be no funny business!
So, there you have it; Prize Paradise is trustworthy. It is perfectly safe to enter one of our competitions – as long as you are 18+. Our reviewers say they love our immediate payouts and our supportive community, celebrating their wins. So what are you waiting for? Join in the fun with complete peace of mind, you never know, you might be our next winner!
Lisa was a regular player of Prize Paradise online competitions but she wasn’t having the best time. Things had happened quickly. In November she was unfortunately involved in a serious accident that badly affected her mobility.
Lisa was left needing to regularly use crutches and a wheelchair, which was obviously hugely life-changing impacting her whole family. “My accident left me with a spinal injury and my partner had to give up work to become my full-time carer. We have three children as well.”
By then Lisa was already participating in Prize Paradise online competitions. She said: “I have never had a bad experience with Prize Paradise. It is family-orientated, that’s how I feel, part of a community.” In January, Lisa took part in a Prize Paradise online draw and won £1000. It gave her a boost: “I won in the January which was a great help. Then one day in March on draw day, I had an instinct to enter one and told my my partner. I did, just as a draw was going live and got an instant win of £5000! It helped us in so many ways, just at the right time.”
The fallout from Lisa’s accident had been having a negative impact on the family before the win. “We were going through so much and when I won the £5k, a lot of things changed. Neither of us could work, so we were losing our home. We couldn’t afford anything. I was sitting up at night worrying about what was going to happen. How are the kids feeling? When I won, I told the kids immediately that we could go away somewhere, even though they were in bed! I just wanted to make them happy and to see the smiles on their faces when I told them.” The money gave Lisa’s family some breathing space and they used some for a much-needed break in the UK: “It was so lovely to be able to relax and not worry about anything for a week or so. The kids had the best time.”
Lisa says she would never use a different competition website: “Other sites just don’t have the same family feel.”
In total, so far, Lisa has won £6750, from playing just once a month with Prize Paradise’s low entry fees enabling her to pay some bills and take the pressure off, without spending out.
“I am so glad I did it and just at the right time when it just helped us out big time. The children saw a change in mum and dad, we were a bit happier. It helped us all. I won’t stop playing Prize Paradise competitions.”
Here at Paradise HQ, stories like this one warm our hearts. We keep our entry fees low, so our competitions are open to anyone and everyone over 18. We love to make people’s dreams come true with no risk. There’s a reason we are the number one trusted UK competition site on Trust Pilot! We are proud of the community that is being created, and it’s truly wonderful that our players feel it too.
Lisa says it best: “I tell people all the time to use Prize Paradise. My partner has joined, my sisters and my mum. It’s normal people that are winning every day and I love to hear their stories. It changes people’s lives, it really does, and I will never stop playing.”
Sounds lovely, right? A cool £20k hitting your bank account within hours of winning a cash prize draw. Well, with Prize Paradise it’s not such a far-fetched idea. We ensure our players receive any winnings from our online competitions immediately – or as close as we can manage! It’s one of our customers’ favourite things about us – we pay on the day!
But what would you spend winnings on if you were our next big prize draw winner of say, 20 grand? Everyone thinks they know, but if it came to it, what would you do? Clear debt? Buy a car? Go on a fabulous holiday? Data from various sources since 2021 shows mixed results, but the top ten ways to spend remain the same. Much depends on the situation and life stage of the winner of course, and for some, £20k could be life-changing. For younger people it gives them a much-needed financial boost, while for others simply peace of mind.
Here’s a list of the top ten ways people in the UK tend to spend their winnings, in no particular order:
So, that’s how the average Brit would generally spend their winnings. But is that what you’d do? If you win with us at Prize Paradise, how will you spend it?
Dawn was having a great time away, staying with her sister for a short break along with Minnie, her french bulldog. One Monday evening, Dawn received an email with great news – she was a winner of a Prize Paradise online competition! Dawn was shocked and reread the email a few times before she could believe it was true. She had won cash in that evening’s online prize draw. £4,000 to be exact!
Dawn’s excitement was short lived as later that night Minnie started acting strangely, not like herself at all. Dawn said: “She was not the dog we knew, and kept laying away from everyone, which was really not like her.” Dawn planned to keep an eye on her overnight and if necessary take her to the vets the following morning. Unfortunately, in the middle of the night poor Minnie woke up screaming, so was rushed to an emergency vet nearby. The vet suspected a slipped disc – not that unusual for frenchies. Giving her pain killers, they told Dawn to crate her and bring her back the next day for an MRI. Minnie may need surgery. Obviously this was an incredibly worrying time for Dawn, who was so concerned about Minnie. Not to mention the rising cost of the surprise vet bills. Having lost her mum just months before, Dawn couldn’t cope with the idea of losing the fur baby that had helped her through that tough time. Dawn would do anything to help her dog.
The next day Minnie was referred to the Queen Mother animal Hospital in Hatfield, but was already showing signs of improvement as she managed to put some weight on her back legs, unlike the previous day. She underwent an MRI and thankfully the results were good! Minnie didn’t need surgery, thanks to the family’s quick actions the night before. Painkillers and time spent resting in a crate had saved Minnie from further treatment.
Dawn was over the moon of course and felt immense relief. She knew that Minnie was on the mend, and the prize money from simply playing competitions online had covered the bill! After emergency treatments, consultation fess and MRI, the bill stood at £4,000. The exact amount she’d won playing Prize Paradise competitions: “I usually buy a few tickets then forget it. It was a complete and utter shock, winning it. Without it, I maybe wouldn’t have Minnie because I genuinely don’t know how I would have paid the vet’s bill without it. I wouldn’t want her to suffer.”
Dawn still plays Prize Paradise’s online competitions and has won a few times since on instant wins. She says the £4k prize hasn’t made her feel like she less chance of winning, as anyone could have that lucky number to scoop the big prize. She is also keen to quell anyone’s concerns over the validity of our competition website: “I have seen some comments questioning if it’s real. It totally is. My win meant everything to me. Prize Paradise literally saved my dog’s life.”
Dawn’s story goes to show that it’s not always holidays and treats that people use their winnings for. Sometimes it’s literally a life or death situation. At Prize Paradise we are very dog-friendly and we couldn’t be happier that we helped Dawn and her family save her fur baby Minnie. We are happy to report that Minnie is doing extremely well and is back to her old self after her ordeal. We look forward to getting further updates!
It’s been a while since we launched Prize Paradise. Our online competitions culminating in live draws giving you the chance to win cash prizes, cars, holidays and other goodies. In fact, to date, we’ve given away a whopping £20 million worth of prizes!
We had no idea back in 2020 how long the site would last, or even if anybody would be interested in playing our online games. Trying to bring a little light to the gloom of the pandemic, we just hoped that people might enjoy a flutter. Our competitions had a far smaller outlay and much better odds than the National Lottery, but we still didn’t know. We needn’t have worried! We are so grateful to have such a loyal customer base. Attracted by our fair competitions, low odds and extremely low entry fees, our players feel a part of something great. Many competitions run simultaneously, including the chance to win a holiday or thousands of pounds in tax free cash. All for just pennies. It’s no surprise the site took off the way it did.
Over the last four years, we have built a strong community. That’s thanks to our customers, supporting each other during our online draws and on our social media pages. Here at Paradise we absolutely love the light-hearted banter between our players, who treat each other with respect and kindness. We wouldn’t have it any other way. Our regulars have watched as week after week, genuine people win real competitions – sometimes more than once – changing lives.
We love that their loyalty comes from trust that the competitions on Prize Paradise are legitimate. And that any winnings are paid into bank accounts almost instantly – even the big ones! And of course that we are always available to chat. We are not faceless names running a business. Here in Paradise we never take our customers for granted and are full of gratitude for their continued enthusiasm. We feel strongly that it’s a two way street. A big part of our side of the bargain is that from day one we have operated completely out in the open, with full transparency. In this industry, honesty is key
If you are a long-time subscriber and regular player – firstly, thank you so much! We literally wouldn’t exist without your support – you will know how up front we are about the way we operate. There’s a reason we are proudly the number one trusted UK competition site on Trust Pilot! We take this accolade extremely seriously and intend to hang on to it.
Before we began, we took a lot of time to research the industry and learn what was important. We wanted to create a safe place where people could play reliably without fear of being ripped off or cheated. It had to be exciting and interesting, with different prizes, but most importantly it had to be fun!
You have seen how our systems are unbreakable, and it’s literally impossible to falsify any of our results. You have probably watched us hone our skills over the last few years, and perfect the way we work, ensuring a seamless experience for players. Maybe you’ve watched our Dan, Hacks and Danielle perfect their unique styles of presenting the results from the very beginning. We like to ensure it’s still exciting and entertaining and our live prize draws run like clockwork. Our team does a fantastic job sharing that time with our community, and what’s more we love it!
At Prize Paradise we still get a huge buzz from the reaction of our winners, and that’s why we do it. Of course, giving away £20 million in prizes means there have been more than a few that have won and we cannot shift the smiles from our faces when someone wins big! Hearing the stories of how our prize money has helped will never fail to fill our hearts with joy. It’s the excitement from our players that has kept the passion alive in us for this long, and that won’t end any time soon. Here’s to the next £20m!
