What Are the Odds of Winning Dream Car Giveaways?(2025 Truth Revealed)

TL;DR

• Yes — Dream Car Giveaways is legit, UK registered, with hundreds of documented winners.

• Odds vary between 1 in 3,000 and 1 in 10,000, depending on the competition size and how many tickets you buy.

• Prizes are real, winners are verified, and cash alternatives are often chosen instead of cars.

• Better odds than the National Lottery — but don’t expect easy wins.

Introduction: The £100,000 Question

You’ve seen the adverts: sleek Lamborghinis, Nissan GT-Rs, and Audi RS6s plastered across your social media feed with captions like “Win your dream car for less than the cost of lunch!”

It’s tempting. Who wouldn’t want to bag a £100k supercar for the price of a few quid? But before you start adding raffle tickets to your basket, there’s one burning question:

? What are the actual odds of winning, and are these prizes and winners even real?

If you want a full background first, check out our review of Dream Car Giveaways or our breakdown of whether car raffles are scams or the real deal.

Now, let’s crunch the numbers.

Are the Prizes Real?

One of the most common doubts is: “Do these cars actually exist, or are they just clickbait?”

Dream Car Giveaways (DCG) buys every car outright before running competitions.
Vehicles are stored, insured, and displayed at their UK base until the draw ends.
If you win, you can collect the car in person or opt for a cash alternative (which many do).

Cars range from hot hatches like the VW Golf R to heavy hitters like the McLaren 720S and even rare JDM icons.

We broke this down more fully in Dream Car Giveaways: Myth or Reality?, where we looked at how DCG builds trust with real enthusiasts.

Are the Winners Real?

Another big concern: “Do people actually win these competitions?”

The answer is yes — and Dream Car Giveaways goes out of their way to prove it.

• Winners are filmed collecting their cars or receiving bank transfers for cash alternatives.

• The official winners page showcases names, faces, and prizes.

• Winners’ stories often appear across social media with interviews, photos, and testimonials.

? Example: A builder from Leeds bagged a Nissan R35 GT-R with just two tickets.
? Another winner from Essex opted for the £80k cash alternative instead of taking home a supercar.

This mirrors the approach of BOTB (Best of the Best), another UK-based dream car competition company that has built its entire reputation around transparency.

What Are Your Actual Odds of Winning?

This is where things get real. Unlike the lottery, your odds depend directly on ticket limits and competition popularity.

Ticket Caps

Most DCG raffles limit tickets between 3,000 and 10,000 entries.

? If 5,000 tickets are available:

• 1 ticket = 1 in 5,000 chance

• 10 tickets = 1 in 500 chance

? If 10,000 tickets are available:

• 1 ticket = 1 in 10,000

• 20 tickets = 1 in 500

Sounds tough? Sure. But let’s put it into perspective:

• UK Lotto jackpot odds = 1 in 45 million

• EuroMillions jackpot odds = 1 in 139 million

• DCG competition odds = 1 in 3,000 to 1 in 10,000

That means your chances of driving away in a supercar are thousands of times higher than hitting the lottery — though still a long shot.

For comparison, see our full BOTB odds breakdown, which runs a very similar competition model.

Do More Tickets Really Improve Your Chances?

Yes — but there’s a catch.

Buying 10 or 20 tickets obviously increases your chances, but it doesn’t change the fact that most entrants won’t win. Spending £100 on tickets doesn’t guarantee a prize any more than spending £10 does — it just improves the math slightly.

Our advice:

• Treat it like entertainment, not an investment.

• Only spend what you’d be comfortable losing.

• Start small — plenty of winners only bought 1–3 tickets.

Beyond the Odds: Costs and Considerations

Winning your dream car sounds incredible — but remember, the prize doesn’t end with a handshake and a set of keys.

Hidden Costs of Winning a Car:

• Insurance: £1,000–£5,000+ annually (depending on age, location, and car).

• Maintenance: Supercar servicing can cost £2,000–£5,000 per year.

• Fuel: A McLaren 720S returns ~20mpg on a good day.

• Resale Value: If you take the car and then flip it, you’ll likely lose 10–20% instantly.

That’s why many winners opt for the cash alternative — no insurance, no bills, just a bank transfer.

How DCG Builds Trust

Dream Car Giveaways has taken steps to stand out in a crowded raffle market:

• Legal registration in the UK

• Charity partnerships, with proceeds often supporting good causes

• Full transparency on ticket numbers, closing dates, and odds

Verdict: Should You Enter Dream Car Giveaways?

So, is it worth your time and money?

Yes, the prizes and winners are real.
Yes, your odds are far better than the lottery.
But remember — odds are still slim, and you should only play responsibly.

Think of it as entertainment. The thrill of “what if” is part of the fun. And every so often, someone does walk away with a £100,000 car — or the cash equivalent sitting happily in their account.
