Top 10 Lotteries with Bonus Draws in 2026
A bonus draw is an extra draw a lottery site runs as a promotion. You get entries for buying tickets, depositing or playing on set days, and the site sets the prizes, not the official lottery.
Because the site runs it, the rules are in the site's own promotion terms. Read who qualifies, how many entries you get and whether prizes are paid as cash or as bonus money.

Bonus draws: common questions
Is a bonus draw the same as the official lottery draw?
No. The official draw is run by the lottery operator. A bonus draw is run by the lottery site as a promotion, with prizes it sets and pays itself.
The site funds a bonus draw from its own budget. Its results do not change the official numbers. Some sites pair a bonus draw with a promo code, and our page on lottery bonus codes explains how those work. Our lottery draws guide covers how official draws are run.
Do bonus draws cost extra?
It depends on the promotion. Some give entries with a ticket you buy anyway, others need a deposit or a minimum spend. The promotion terms on the site say which.
A bonus draw is not a reason to spend more than you planned. Set your budget before you enter, and read our responsible gambling guidance if you want limits.
Can I withdraw a bonus draw prize?
Cash prizes usually can be withdrawn once your account is verified. Prizes paid as bonus money or free lines carry their own conditions, such as wagering.
The prize form is set by each site. We compare sites on payouts and terms, and how we rank lottery sites sets out the criteria.
Where do I find a site's bonus draws?
On the site's promotions page, with the full rules in its terms. Our lottery site reviews link to each site.
Set the spend before you pick the numbers.
Most lottery lines win nothing. Decide a monthly amount you can lose, and use the deposit limits on the site you play at.
