How Much Is an Omaze Ticket? Prices, Bundles and Value Explained

How does Omaze’s bundle pricing work?

Omaze does not sell single entries at a flat price. Instead, it offers entry bundles: you pay a set amount and receive a corresponding number of individual entries. Larger bundles give you proportionally more entries for your money, which lowers your cost per entry.

The exact bundle tiers, entry counts and prices change from draw to draw, so we don’t reproduce a fixed price list here — it would quickly go out of date. Check the current draw page on the Omaze website for the live bundles before you buy.

The largest bundle is not necessarily the best value in odds terms: your absolute probability of winning stays very small regardless of how many entries you hold, because the total number of entries across all participants is far larger than any individual’s bundle.

Does buying more entries meaningfully improve your odds?

It depends on how you define “meaningful”. Buying a larger bundle does give you proportionally more entries — and more entries means a proportionally higher individual chance of winning. That is mathematically real. However, because a popular draw can sell the equivalent of several million entries, the difference in absolute probability between a small bundle and a large one remains tiny.

The honest framing: Omaze entries are a form of entertainment expenditure with a very small chance of a very large return. Spending more increases your odds proportionally, but does not move a win from remote to likely.

Do prices change between draws?

Yes. Omaze has run draws with different bundle structures, different price points and different entry-per-pound ratios. There is no single fixed price that applies across all draws, and each live draw page carries its own prices.

A draw tied to a higher-value property does not automatically mean higher ticket prices. Omaze makes pricing decisions per draw, so always check the current draw page before buying.

Are Omaze entry fees refundable?

Omaze’s published position has generally been that entries are non-refundable once purchased. Under UK consumer law, entries submitted into a prize-draw pool are treated differently from ordinary goods bought online, so the standard 14-day cooling-off period may not apply in the way it would to a physical product. Check the current draw’s terms and conditions for the exact refund and cancellation policy before you enter.

What does the entry fee actually pay for?

When you buy an Omaze bundle, your money is split across four areas:

1. Charity donation — Omaze guarantees a minimum of £1 million to the draw’s charity partner per house draw. It has historically described this as around 17% of ticket sales, though on a large, well-selling draw the effective share can be lower.
2. The prize — the property itself, including associated costs such as stamp duty paid on behalf of the winner, or a cash alternative where offered.
3. Operating costs — marketing, staffing, legal compliance and winner logistics.
4. Omaze’s profit margin — Omaze is a for-profit company.

The key point for buyers: most of your entry does not reach the charity. You are not donating — you are purchasing entries, and Gift Aid cannot be claimed on entry fees. If your main aim is to help the charity, a direct donation does far more.

Is there a free alternative to buying entries?

Yes. Every Omaze draw has a free postal entry route. You write your details on a plain piece of paper and post it to the address in that draw’s terms and conditions. One free postal entry gives you one individual entry — the same as one entry from a paid bundle.

The full process, including what to write and where to send it, is in our guide to the Omaze free entry postal route.

Is Omaze ticket pricing good value compared to other prize draws?

The products are quite different, so a like-for-like comparison is imperfect. As a rough guide to how much reaches good causes per pound:

Product	Entry cost	Top prize	Share to good causes
National Lottery (Lotto)	£2 per line	Cash jackpot (variable)	around 23%
People’s Postcode Lottery	£12.50/month (subscription)	Cash/prizes by postcode	a minimum of 30%
Omaze house draw	from around £10 (bundle)	House (£1m–£3m+ value)	£1m minimum guarantee (historically ~17%; often less)

Omaze’s headline prize is typically a specific property worth several million pounds, which is a different proposition to a cash jackpot or a recurring postcode draw. Whether it constitutes “good value” depends on how you weigh a single large fixed prize against the alternatives — and on being clear that the charity share is a minority of your spend.

Has Omaze faced criticism over how it presents entry prices?

Yes. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has upheld a complaint against an Omaze advert for not explaining the free postal entry route clearly and prominently enough, in breach of CAP Code rules 8.17 and 8.17.2, which govern how prize promotions must present a genuine no-purchase-necessary route. The ruling matters for anyone comparing ticket prices: it confirms that the free entry route is not a minor footnote but a legally required, equally weighted way to enter, and adverts that push paid bundles while burying the free option can fall foul of the rules.

In practice, this means an Omaze advert or draw page should state the free postal address as clearly as it states the price of a paid bundle. If a page shows you pricing tiers prominently but makes you hunt through the terms and conditions to find the free-entry address, that is the exact shortfall the ASA flagged. When comparing Omaze’s ticket price against other operators, such as those covered in our Raffle House review, check that both present their free-entry route with equal prominence, not buried in small print.
