Lucky Squares
Back to School - Lucky Squares #1
15 × 15 — 225 squares at £1 each
How It Works
- 🎯 Pick your squares: Choose your lucky number on the grid—or grab a whole handful! Each square is just £1, with 225 up for grabs.
- 🎨 Make your mark: Slap a fun sticker on your tile, choose whether to show off your full name or stay mysterious with just your initials, and check out in seconds by card. We’ll ping your ticket straight to your inbox!
- ⏳ Wait for the sell-out: As soon as all 225 spots are snapped up, the board locks and the draw begins. Every single square you hold is an extra shot at scooping a prize!

✅ This draw checks out
Before selling opened we shuffled all 225 numbers into a random order and published a fingerprint of it. Here is that order, and the random text it was sealed with. Anyone can put the two together and confirm they produce the fingerprint that was published first — which proves the order was fixed before anybody had bought anything.
The winning squares are the first numbers in the order that somebody bought, taken from the top. Here they were:
- First — square 154 position 2 in the sealed order
- Second — square 120 position 5 in the sealed order
- Third — square 83 position 6 in the sealed order
Everything skipped on the way down was a number nobody had taken.
