Two ways to enter. Same chance of winning.

The Golden Passport offers two entry routes. A paid entry route online. And a free postal entry route that is genuinely equivalent - meaning every free entry has exactly the same chance of being drawn as any paid entry. No purchase is ever necessary.

This is a hard legal requirement for any UK prize draw that isn't run as a licensed lottery, and we take it seriously. The free route is real. It's straightforward. And it works.

Paid entry

Paid entries are made online at thegoldenpassport.co.uk. Prices start at £2 per entry. Larger bundles offer a lower cost per entry. Full pricing is displayed at checkout before any payment is taken.

Paid entries are made by secure card payment through a UK payment processor. We don't store card details. We do store the email address and name given at checkout so we can notify you if you win and, if you opted in, send you occasional updates.

Subscribe & save Subscribe, and get 25% bonus entries into every monthly draw, automatically. Cancel any time. Full details are displayed at sign-up.

Free postal entry

To enter Draw One for free, send a postcard or envelope containing the information below to the address below. Normal postage applies - nothing beyond that. Every free entry is drawn with the same chance of winning as any paid entry.

What to send

A single sheet of paper, clearly printed by hand or typed, containing:

Where to send it

Postal entries - Draw One The Golden Passport Ltd
Draw One Free Entry
Postal address - pending company incorporation. Published in full before Draw One opens on 1 June 2026.

Limits and closing date

Free entries are entered into the same draw pool as paid entries and have exactly the same probability of being selected. This is a non-negotiable principle and a legal requirement.

Who can enter

Full eligibility terms, including age and identity verification for the winner, are set out in the Terms & Conditions.

The draw

Draw One closes at 23:59 BST on 31 July 2026. No entries received or postmarked after that time will be included.

The winner is drawn at random from all valid entries - paid and free - within 7 days of closing. The draw is conducted using a verifiably random method, independently witnessed, and logged. Full details of the method and the witness are published alongside the result.

The winner

The winner is notified by email and phone within 48 hours of the draw taking place. If we can't reach a winner within 14 days of the draw, reasonable further steps are taken. If we still can't make contact after a further 14 days, we may, at our discretion, draw an alternative winner.

The winner's first name and town are published on this website and in supporting press coverage, unless the winner specifically requests anonymity. Full name, address, and other personal details are never published without explicit consent.

The winner must pass basic identity and eligibility checks before the voucher is issued - a proof of age and proof of UK residency. Once those checks clear, the £20,000 voucher is issued, and a premier luxury travel concierge takes it from there.

Charity

A meaningful share of the net profits from Draw One is distributed to our North East charity consortium. Partners will be formally announced before Draw One opens. The total amount raised and paid is published on this website after the draw has closed and accounts are final.
