It’s going to be a nail-biting day for anyone with a ticket as the Bounty Competitions £1 million prize is due to be drawn this afternoon.
As tensions mount, players of the biggest competition the organisers have ever held, are sharing sweet messages online between those hoping to win.
Players are also praising Bounty Competitions themselves for taking a risk with the huge prize pot, and for keeping them sane during Covid.
After 4pm today one lucky prizewinner will become a millionaire – after placing a £10 stake in the draw.
Tickets for the draw sold out on Wednesday evening. 142,000 tickets were sold
Players could buy up to 200 tickets – for a whopping £2,000 – but many have bought one ticket, hoping it will be the number that changes their life.
Ticket holders are already sharing “good luck” messages with each other on social media – others are planning how they will spend the money.
Bounty Competitions The Big £1 million to be drawn today
As well as The Big £1 Million prize, there will be two runners-up prizes of £10k – for those with numbers on either side of the winner.
£22k is to be donated from the prize pot to the winner’s chosen charity.
Players of the competition are hoping they will take home the big prize, and are starting to share their dreams of trips to the Bahamas and flying in helicopters supping champagne.
Kelly Anne McAllister praised the owners of Bounty Competitions for taking the risk of hosting the competition.
She said: “What a journey, it’s been ace for us all to be there with you I remember watching you guys first three years ago.

Deducting the huge prize pot, Bounty Competitions themselves are set to make a cool £388,000 from running the competition.

Fast forward four years and Bounty Competitions is getting ready for it’s biggest prize giveaway yet – £1 million cash tax free.
