How It Works
Millbrook Giveaways runs skill-based prize competitions that are fair, transparent, and recorded with a consistent draw process.
Choose a Competition
Browse our active competitions and pick a prize you want to win. Each competition shows the ticket price, how many tickets remain, and the closing date.
Answer the Skill Question
To enter, you must correctly answer a simple skill question, for example "What is 12 x 12?". This skill question distinguishes our competitions from lotteries or gambling products.
Choose Your Tickets
Pick how many tickets you want, up to the per-person limit. More tickets means more chances to win. Each ticket is assigned a unique sequential number.
Pay Securely
Complete checkout using a hosted bank-payment flow. You are redirected to your banking provider to approve the payment securely.
Receive Your Confirmation
You'll receive an email confirmation with your ticket numbers. You can also view your entries at any time in your account dashboard.
The Draw
Once the competition closes, or all tickets sell out, we run a SHA-256-based draw process and record the resulting seed and hash with the competition record.
Free Postal Entry
We offer a free postal entry route for every competition. Postal entries have exactly the same chance of winning as paid entries. You can enter any competition by post with no purchase necessary.

We use a verifiable random selection process. Here is exactly how it works:
- When the draw runs, a random UUID is generated as the seed.
- The seed is combined with the competition ID and all entry IDs in a consistent string.
- This string is hashed using SHA-256.
- The first 8 hex characters of the hash are converted to a number.
- That number, modulo the total entry count, gives the winning index.
- The seed, hash, and winning ticket are stored permanently on our servers.
The seed and hash are recorded when the draw completes, giving us a permanent draw record tied to the winner outcome and competition entry set.
