Audited results from every completed competition
Each Want That Watch competition publishes the same set of facts after the draw: the closing date, the total entries received, the eligible correct entries that qualified for the draw, and the winning entry as derived by the deterministic seed-based selection.
What's published for each draw
For every completed prize competition we publish:
- Closing date and draw date — fixed before the competition opens, never moved later.
- Total entries — every paid entry plus every free postal entry received.
- Eligible correct entries — the subset of entries that answered the skill question correctly and entered the draw pool.
- Draw seed — the recorded input to the deterministic selection, retained so the outcome of new draws can be recomputed and verified.
- Winning Entry ID — the unique OC-XXXXXXXXXXXX identifier of the successful entry.
- Witness record — where an independent witness or notary was present at a draw, their name and reference number are published alongside the audit log.
How to verify a draw yourself
For new draws, the winner can be recomputed from the stored seed, the sorted list of eligible Entry IDs, and the recorded winner index; an audit hash protects the record from alteration. Legacy draws may not include the full verification record. The full method is set out on the fairness page.

The legal foundation for these results is the Terms & Conditions and the Competition Rules. The four-step entry route is documented on the how-it-works page, including the binding free postal entry route.
