The £50 gift card is the prize we have re-run more than any other, because the retailer changes but the intent does not. Whether it was M&S, Love2Shop, Smyths, the PlayStation Store or a takeaway voucher, the format is the same: a low ticket price, instant wins settled as you buy, and one £50 card as the main prize.
Which retailers we have run
Past runs have covered M&S, Love2Shop, Smyths Toys, the PlayStation Store, and Deliveroo or Just Eat as a winner's choice. Love2Shop is the most flexible of them — it is accepted across a long list of high street retailers — which is why it comes back most often.
Which card is on offer is decided per run and shown on the competition page. If there is a retailer you would rather see, the prize vote on the Instant Treasure page is where we take those requests.
Winner's choice runs
Some runs are deliberately open-ended — the Deliveroo or Just Eat run let the winner pick which of the two they wanted after the draw. Where a run works that way it says so on the page, and the choice is made when we contact you rather than fixed at the point you buy a ticket.
How gift cards are sent
Digital cards are emailed to the address on your account, usually the same day the draw is confirmed. Physical cards are posted to the address you give us when we get in touch. Either way we contact you first — we never post a code publicly.

No. Gift card prizes are awarded as the card. If you would rather win cash, our £50 and £100 cash competitions run the same format with a cash prize.
