Win A Million and Elite Competitions both operate in the UK prize-draw space, but the formats are built around different priorities: one is a fixed-schedule millionaire cash draw, the other is a high-frequency mix of jackpots, instant wins and prize pots.
- Win A Million is cash-only: five chances to win £1,000,000 every week, with entry from 50p or free by post, and winning numbers selected using a certified RNG operated independently by PIMS-SCA Ltd.
- Elite Competitions is a multi-category competitions platform offering cars, houses, watches, and large cash prizes, plus InstaWin and “prize pot” formats. Entry prices range from pennies (e.g., 1p/5p/6p/9p/19p/29p/50p) up to £1.29–£7+ for larger InstaWin and prize-pot formats.
What is Win A Million?
Win A Million is a UK cash prize draw brand offering five £1,000,000 draws each week, built around number selection (including a Millionaire Ball).
What is Elite Competitions?
Elite Competitions is a UK online competitions platform running back-to-back competitions across jackpot prizes, instant wins, wheels/prize pots, daily draws, and member-style promotions.
How does Win A Million work?
Entries are submitted online from 50p or via free postal entry. Winning numbers are selected using a certified RNG operated independently by PIMS-SCA Ltd, and results are published after each draw.
How does Elite Competitions work?
Competitions run for a stated period or until sold out. Entry is made online by selecting a competition and taking tickets/spins (often via “Lucky Dip”). For InstaWin or Spin-to-Win formats, outcomes can be instant, and live draw replays are also published for certain competitions.
What are the prizes?
Win A Million prizes
- £1,000,000 top prize in each of five weekly draws, plus additional cash prizes depending on the draw structure.
- Instant Win with various cash prizes, with tickets starting from just £0.30; prizes are pre-allocated to random ticket numbers before sales open. Entry is available online or for free by post.
Elite Competitions prizes
- Cars with cash alternatives (example listings show a Mercedes G63 with a £110,000 cash alternative).
- Large cash competitions (example listings include “£75,000 Cash Tax-Free & Guaranteed Winner”).

- Regular InstaWin prize pots and “prize every time” formats on certain competitions.
How much does it cost to enter?
Win A Million
- Online entry starts from 50p.

Elite Competitions
Pricing varies by format, but current active listings show clear ballparks:
- Jackpot draws from £0.01–£0.50 (examples shown include £0.01, £0.05, £0.06, £0.08, £0.09, £0.19, £0.29, £0.50).

Fairness and transparency
Win A Million
Transparency centres on RNG operation and published results. Winning numbers are selected using a certified RNG operated independently by PIMS-SCA Ltd, and results are posted after every draw.
Elite Competitions
Transparency centres on published entry prices, sell-out status, stated end dates, and published draw replays where applicable. Competition pages also link to the free entry method.
Are they charity-linked?
- Win A Million: presented as a cash prize draw product, not a charity-partner model on its entry pages.
- Elite Competitions: not an “every draw supports a named charity partner” model. Instead, it promotes community giving through Elite Contributions, describing this as ticket-supported giving back activity with a published running total.
Where do “proof” and winners show up?
Win A Million
Winning entries and results are visible inside the account dashboard, with winning numbers also published on the Results page after each draw.
Elite Competitions
Proof is presented through competition listings, published live draw replays, and public-facing sections such as Live Draws and competition pages that link the free entry method.
Final take
Win A Million fits a cash-only millionaire draw format and instant wins with a low entry point, defined free postal entry, and independently operated certified RNG draws. Elite Competitions fits a broader, higher-frequency model with cars, houses, watches, cash wins combined with InstaWins.
