McKinney Competitions offers prize draws covering cars, cash, properties, motorhomes, technology and experiences. This guide explains what you can enter for, how entry works and where to find the operator’s postal entry instructions.

Who runs McKinney Competitions?

The promoter named in its terms is Top Gear Autos NI LTD, trading as McKinney Competitions, company number NI667309.

Entry is open to eligible residents of the United Kingdom and Ireland aged 18 or over, subject to the exclusions in its terms.

What prizes can you win?

The prize selection ranges from smaller cash and technology competitions to vehicles and properties. Examples advertised on the official website when checked on 26 October 2026 included:

  • BMW M5 or £60,000 cash, advertised at 30p per ticket.
  • 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser or £40,000 cash, advertised at 69p per ticket.
  • Four-bedroom coastal home in Downings, Donegal, or £350,000, advertised at £2.99 per entry.

These are dated examples. Availability, prices and closing dates can change, so check the individual competition before entering.

How do you enter?

For paid online entry, select a competition on McKinney’s website, review its details, choose your entries and complete checkout.

Check the ticket price, entry limit, closing date and any question or other entry requirement shown for that competition. Do not assume every competition has identical rules.

For standard draws, the terms say winners are selected randomly within seven days of closing.

Does McKinney offer instant wins?

Yes. Its instant-win competitions use predetermined winning ticket numbers with prizes attached. The FAQ explains that a matching ticket wins the allocated prize immediately, while entries also participate in the advertised end-prize draw. Check each competition for its particular prizes and conditions.

Is there a free postal entry route?

Yes. Section 3.10 of McKinney’s terms describes postal entry without an online entry fee; postage is still required.

Send an unenclosed postcard by first- or second-class post to:

Free Entries, PO Box 1554, Dungannon, BT70 9DQ

Include the competition name, your full name, postal address, telephone number and email address. Each entry must be posted separately and arrive before closing and before the entry cap is reached. Entry limits apply. Incomplete or illegible entries are disqualified, hand deliveries are not processed and receipt is not acknowledged.

Read the full official terms and postal entry conditions and the individual competition’s instructions before posting.

UK Competition Finder is an independent directory. Entries and prize claims are handled by McKinney Competitions. Always confirm availability and the final entry details on the operator’s website.
