Frequently asked questions..

Is this a lottery?
No. covered. is a prize competition, not a lottery. Every entry requires answering a skill-based question. This is a legal requirement under UK gambling law, and it’s what separates us from lotteries and raffles.
How is the winner chosen?
Every Friday at 8pm, one entry is selected at random using Random.org’s certified true random number generator. The draw certificate is published the same evening.
What exactly does the winner get?
£5,200 paid in twelve monthly instalments of £433.33, covering your choice of food, fuel, heating or childcare. The credit is loaded directly to your supermarket, energy supplier, fuel card or nursery — you pick. We publish a receipt every time so you can see the prize being paid.
Who can enter?
Anyone 18 or over with a postcode we currently support. We're launching in the UK first; Spain, Belgium and France are next on the roadmap.
