Ticket Hive Competitions are not about maximum profit for us. We too are fed up with entering competitions where the promotors earn up to 6x the prize amount and love to stack the odds against those who enter.
We aim to be transparent and fair in everything we do, giving YOU the best chance!

How Are We Different?
Everyone loves the chance to win something for a fraction of the normal cost. But what really matters is your actual odds of winning, not just how good it looks on paper.
📊 Understanding the Numbers
To keep things clear, we’ll:
- Base calculations on a single paid ticket
- Ignore free entries for simplicity
- Ignore instant wins
Buying multiple tickets increases your chances, but for transparency, we show what happens if everyone enters with just one ticket.
🔎 A Typical Scenario
Reference Example
- Prize value: £500
- Ticket price: £1.50
- Maximum tickets: 1,500
Total revenue: £1,500
Your odds with 1 ticket: 0.067% (1 in 1,500)
This is just an example to illustrate how odds work.
🚀 Our Approach
Using the same £500 prize with our model:
- Ticket price: £1.50
- Maximum tickets: 420
Your odds with 1 ticket: ≈0.2381%
On average over 250% better odds compared to a 1,000-ticket example. We cap margins at 25% of the prize value to cover administration, website, and processing costs — keeping your odds as fair as possible.
💡 What If All Tickets Don’t Sell?
We guarantee that a winner will always be chosen, and we will always award 90% of ticket revenue if a competition does not sell out.
- A winner is always drawn
- No participant loses out
- The business remains sustainable
📘 Example Scenario
£500 Prize, 420 Maximum Tickets
If only 300 tickets are sold:
- Ticket revenue = £1.50 × 290 paid tickets = £435
- Winner receives £391.50 cash alternative (90% of revenue)
- Remaining 10% covers basic administrative costs
Fewer tickets sold slightly improves your odds, and the payout is fully guaranteed.
