British Gas has confirmed that all its customers will be automatically entered into a prize draw this weekend, with the chance to win five years' worth of free electricity. The promotion is tied to England's FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final match against Norway on Saturday.
How the prize draw works
For every goal scored by the England team during the match, one British Gas customer will be selected at random to win free electricity for five years, valued at £4,400. All British Gas customers are automatically entered, and winners will be chosen after the final whistle.
This week's giveaway follows a successful competition last weekend, where England's three goals against Mexico resulted in three customers each winning £4,400 worth of electricity. The company is repeating the promotion to give more customers a chance to win.
Winners from last weekend share their reactions
Among the previous winners was Terrence from Nottingham, a pensioner who said: "This is fantastic news. As a pensioner, this will make a huge difference and help me enormously. I'd like to thank British Gas for the call and for this amazing prize."
Sophie, a mother of two from Kent, described herself as: "Ecstatic!! I've never won anything in my life. I'm speechless." Jennifer from Buckinghamshire was initially surprised by the call, saying: "Wow. Normally I would have hung up by now, but I'm listening!"
British Gas spokesperson comments
A British Gas spokesperson said: "There's nothing quite like getting behind England together, and we wanted to give our customers another reason to celebrate every goal this weekend. We're always looking for ways to give back to our customers, whether that's through prizes, rewards or helping them save money at home. Last weekend we were delighted to see three of our customers win five years free electricity, and we're excited to offer more customers the chance to be winners this Saturday."
Details and eligibility
The promotion is automatic for all British Gas customers, meaning no entry is required. The prize is worth £4,400 per winner. For more information, customers are directed to the company's social media channels. The competition runs for the duration of the England vs Norway match, with winners selected after the final whistle.
