For dealers
DON’T JUST SELL IT.
LOTTO IT.
Car Lotto turns a car into a competition. People buy entries, one wins the car, and you receive a payout agreed before anything goes live. Stock moves to a buyer who chose it, without the discounting, test drives and time-wasters.
The concept
Seller → Car Lotto → Entrants → Winner
You supply the car. We run the competition, handle entries, payments, player protection and the draw. The winner gets the car and you get the agreed price. It is a different route to market for stock that is slow to move, or a way to put your best cars in front of a new audience.
Agreed payout, up front
You see your payout in the proposal before anything is published. It is fixed.
No risk if it falls short
If a competition doesn't reach its minimum, entrants are refunded and the car stays yours.
We run everything
Entries, payments, refunds, fraud checks, the draw and the winner's paperwork are handled by Car Lotto.
From listing to payout
01
You list the car
Send us the registration, photos and the V5C. We pre-fill the spec from the registration and check the vehicle data.
02
We verify and propose
We check the car, the paperwork and the value, then send you a proposal with your agreed payout. Car Lotto sets the entry price and the number of entries.
03
You accept, it goes live
Nothing is published until you accept. You can decline any proposal.
04
Entrants buy entries
People choose the car they want and buy entries. Odds are shown before purchase and every draw is published and verifiable.
05
A winner is drawn
When the competition closes, the draw runs on a published commit-and-reveal process, then a second person verifies the result.
06
Handover and payout
We verify the winner, you hand the car over, and your agreed payout is released.
Seller payout is released after the winner has been verified and vehicle handover is confirmed.

Questions dealers ask
What do I actually get paid?
The payout agreed in the proposal, fixed before the car goes live. It does not depend on how many entries are sold beyond the minimum that makes the competition complete.
What if the competition doesn't reach its minimum?
Entrants are refunded and the car stays yours. You have lost nothing but the time listing it, and we'll talk through next steps with you.
Who sets the entry price?
Car Lotto does. We structure each competition so the agreed payout is covered when it completes. You choose the car and tell us what you'd like to receive.
Do I need to be a certain size?
No. We verify your company, VAT and contact identity once. After that each car needs only its V5C and a condition review.
How many cars can I list?
As many as you like, one proposal per car. Bulk upload and stock-feed integrations are on the roadmap.
How long does review take?
We aim to review and send a proposal within the timeframe shown during listing.
