How to read this

Odds now is your chance of winning if the draw were pulled this second at the current ticket count. Odds if sold out is the worst case — what your odds shrink to if the competition fills every seat before close.

Average return per £1 is the average pounds you'd get back per pound staked if you could play the same draw thousands of times. £1 means break-even; £2 means on paper you'd double your money on average; £0.40 means most of your stake disappears to operator margin. It is not a forecast of your one ticket — just a way to compare draws.

Fair Shout tiers: Top Shout (≥£1.50), Good Shout (≥£1.00), Fair Shout (≥£0.50), Poor Shout (below £0.50). Full explanation in Odds vs luck in UK prize draws.
