Lottery Machine Hire

When you need to rent a lottery machine, we have one that will suit your purpose. We deliver our machines UK-wide. So whether you are in the centre of London or Lands End or John o’ Groats, we can help you.

When looking for a lottery machine, you need one that is secure and provides a fair draw, one that will pass your scrutiny and verification processes and meets the Gambling Commission’s regulations. Hirers use our machines for high-value draws, charity raffles, corporate events, TV, film, and theatre props.

We have several machines:

Woosh Live used Guinevere for the million-pound draw.

1. Guinevere II, made by the world’s leading manufacturer (who also makes the machines for the UK’s National Lottery), is a fully automated machine that can suit a wide variety of draw types. It comes with a wired remote control as well as your choice of three sets of balls: 1 to 60 white, 1 to 60 Yellow and 1 to 80 in mixed colours.
2. The Blyton is a multi-chamber machine, perfect for raffles where consecutively numbered tickets are required from 1 to 360,000.
3. The Musketeer is an electronic machine that you can use to draw a winner or winners from consecutively numbered tickets from 1 to 99,999, without any duplicates.
4. Blackbeard’s Treasure Chest is perfect for draws with consecutively numbered tickets up to 99,999, with the bonus of a game element, adding extra excitement to your event.

Benefits of hiring over buying.

Buying a machine is a capital expense; you must account for the purchase over five years or more for tax purposes. So, if you buy a machine for £40k, you can only claim £8,000 as an expense in your first year. In other words, you pay tax on the additional £32k!

With a hire or lease, every penny you invest can be deducted as an expense, reducing your tax liability.

Machine resale values can be a fraction of what you originally paid: You never get your money back, often not even close to what you paid for it. Buying from abroad also incurs import duties, shipping and handling fees. If what you are doing does not work, you are left with an expensive piece of kit that can be difficult to sell.

Hiring lowers the risk of your new venture. You can hire a machine to try your draw; if it doesn’t work, simply return it.

Case Study: Woosh Live aimed to host the world’s first free £ 1 million draw. Initially, they attempted to purchase a machine, but none were available within their timeframe. They hired Guinevere II on a three-month contract. While their draw was a success, they quickly realised what they wanted to do was not viable. Luckily, all they had to do was return the machine!

Short, Medium and Long Term Hire

Do you need something longer-term, but aren’t sure if your plan will work? We can do short, medium and long-term hires and can be flexible with them too; so, if you take a machine on a long-term lease, you can still off-hire it early, like Woosh Live, should you need to do that, and long-term means when you succeed, you know you have a machine you can use again and again.

Game Design

The simplest games are those where you have consecutively numbered tickets; we offer several machines for rent that accommodate this type of play. A lottery-style draw may be more effective if you have a fixed number of tickets to sell. We can design a draw for you and provide all the number combinations. Get in touch to find out more.
