The following statement comes from their FAQ section
"We are proud to say that to date we have given away over £17 million worth of prizes to over 400 winners of luxurious prizes from around the world. Want to see all the Dream Car winners? Head to our winners wall!"
400 winners of luxury prizes averages approximately 25/26 winners a year. Sounds good so far.
However, £17m divided by 400 equals just £42,500. That is the 'average' prize for each of their 400 winners. So much for luxury.
You are definitely better off playing a scratchcard.
It is a rip off!

Hi Danny,
Your maths is correct but the important thing to note is that the 400 winners haven't all been cars. We used to run handbag competitions in the airports, as well as gadgets and other prizes.
For cars only (which is why we say "prizes") it's coming on 300 winners as of the writing of this comment, and more every week since we moved to a guaranteed winner every week in November 2014. The average value of car won (inclusive of any cash that has come with it) in 2015 has been £72,945.
The competition exists to give normal people access to their dream car, without having to spend large amounts of money. £72,945 is (by accounts of our active community and regular players) a very luxurious car.
