To enter, you’ll need to create a Birthday Draw Account. If you’re 18 or over, sign up online (or you can sign up with Apple or Google Login). We’ll need your real name and date of birth to verify it’s you (in case you win a big prize), as well as your phone number so we can call you with the good news!
Once you’re signed up, just click the 'Enter Now' button and create your entry by choosing your special date (it doesn’t have to be your birthday), an initial, and one (or several) colours - the more colours you choose, the more chances you have to win money! We will auto assign colours but you can change them if you wish.
You can then choose whether you’d like to:
• Subscribe online - to be entered into The Birthday Draw automatically each week, as well as benefitting from our exclusive Subscriber Draws (£10k Weekly Draw and £100 Daily Subscriber Draw) and special subscriber discounts
• Enter as a one-off for the next draw only
• Print and post your entry. We’ll email you a printable postcard with a unique 16-digit code to post (or you can copy the code onto a postcard or the back of a sealed envelope). Make sure you attach the correct postage and send it in time to be entered into the draw!
If you’re subscribing or paying for one-off entries, you can pay by UK debit or credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal (we do not accept credit cards on PayPal).
Once your entry is confirmed, we’ll send you an email to confirm everything and, if you’re entering by post, don’t forget to send your entry to our postal address.
You can enter The Birthday Draw up to 60 times each week - that’s across all entry methods (subscription, one-off and postal).

The Birthday Draw is a weekly prize draw with the entry window running from Monday to Sunday every week.
However you’re entering, you’ll need to register your entry on the website before 23:59:59 on a Sunday.
We do allow a few extra days for postal entries to arrive, for entries that have been registered before the closing time. This postal validation period is open for 3 days after the closing time. We’ll extend this period for bank holidays or postal strikes to make sure your entry has time to reach us.
If you’re still not sure, you can check the exact timings for this week's draw on our results page.
The Birthday Draw is open to UK residents aged 18 or over, excluding those who live in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man (sorry Islanders!)
You also can’t enter if you’re an employee or associate of ITV, Global or any other company involved in the running of The Birthday Draw.
If you’re not eligible, you won’t be able to win the prize draw, so please check the full Terms and Conditions if you’re still not sure.
Nope! You can use any birthday, special date, or even a random date, when you enter The Birthday Draw. Pick any date that means something to you...or pick a random date.
The decision is yours!
Yes. If you have more than one entry, you can choose a different date for each one or use the same date with different letter and colour combinations. Each entry just needs to be a unique combination to you.
You can mix and match your dates, letters and colours however you like.
Each colour you choose, when combined with a date/initial, provides a new entry line. In order to win the jackpot, you’ll need to match your date and initial entry selections together with the correct colour. You can choose up to 12 colours per date and initial combo (red, orange, peach, gold, yellow, mint, green, blue, teal, purple, lavender, and pink). More colours = more chances to win!
It's whatever you want it to be! Your chosen initial can be your own, someone else's, or any letter you choose. The initial is just another element of the unique combination you create which makes up each entry.
You can enter The Birthday Draw via post. To do so, create your entry using the 'Enter Now' button, then choose the 'By Post' option, fill in your details, and we'll email you a printable form for the post. From there, all you need to do is add a stamp and send it to us in time for the draw.
