The website compiles an extensive history of past draws, organised by location and date. Recurring locations include Cornwall (with multiple editions: Cornwall II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII), the Cotswolds, Devon, Dorset, the Lake District, London, Manchester, Bath, Cheshire, Kent, Mallorca and Marbella.

How it works and how to take part

According to the legal information published, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw and the Monthly Millionaire Cash Draw are not a charity raffle or a house or cash lottery, but a prize draw. Entry can be made online or by post, with no purchase necessary. Entrants also automatically enter other additional prize draws, regardless of the entry method. The stated intention of the house draw is for people to take part to win a house and support a charitable cause.

The company operates through its website, where users can register, access their account, check draw results, read the blog and meet the winners. It also offers the option to subscribe to email and messaging newsletters. The site includes dedicated sections for FAQs, charity partnership and legal information on terms and conditions, cookies and privacy.
