Tesco always have a selection of great text (SMS) competitions, most of them with lots of prizes! They’re quick and easy to enter, and for most of them you don’t need to make a purchase in store.
One of the main problems is finding details of them all, as Tesco are not very efficient at putting their displays out in store, or at keeping their Competitions page updated. So I’ve decided to collate all current (and recently closed) Tesco comps into a list here on SuperLucky.
Tesco text competitions are all sent to the shortcode 60110. They are not included in your mobile provider’s free texts allowance, and will cost you SNR (Standard Network Rate) to enter. This is usually 15p but some providers might be a little cheaper.
Top tip: If you order your PAYG SIM from 1pMobile (*affiliate link) it will only cost you a penny to enter a Tesco text competition. Keep in mind that you do need to top up by £10 every 120 days to keep your account active though!
At the end of the post I will also list recently closed Tesco competitions – it can be helpful to have this information easily accessible if you receive a winning text message, so you can check to see what prize you have won.
Tesco competitions are advertised in store, in the Tesco magazine (which you can read on the Issuu website) and on the Tesco groceries website.
How to enter Tesco text competitions
Tesco always use the same shortcode of 60110, but the promotions have different formats.
To enter, simply text the keyword, then leave a space, add your full name, another space and your postcode and then send it to 60110. For example NESTLE DI COKE BN16FR.
Each promotion will have a separate keyword, and depending on where it’s advertised there will be a number at the end of it – eg. BELVITA5 is the code on the display units by the entrance in my Tesco. Using a number makes no difference to your entry – all texts all go into the same prize draw. The numbers are just to help Tesco see how effective each form of advertising is. I use the word without any numbers in this post, so entries via information on SuperLucky don’t skew their statistics!
You will receive a ‘bounceback’ message – depending on the format of the promotion, you will receive either a reply confirming your entry into the draw, a reply with a link to upload a receipt photo, or an instant win/lose message. If you accidentally enter too many times, you’ll receive a ‘Sorry, you have exceeded the entry limit for this service’ message.
Unless otherwise stated below, all Tesco prize promotions listed here are open to UK residents aged 18 years and older. For the prize draws that require a purchase, you can buy online or in any Tesco store, including Tesco Metro and Tesco Express.
Tesco text competition formats
- Prize draw with a single closing date – you can only enter once and all winners are drawn at the end of the promotion
- Weekly prize draw – winner(s) chosen every week – you can send a text entry once every week (check T&Cs to see which day the draws close each week)
- Daily prize draw – winner(s) chosen every day – you can send a text entry once every calendar day
- Instant win – if you’re the first person to text in after a random ‘winning moment’ you will receive an immediate reply to let you know you’ve won a prize
- Product purchase and receipt upload – after sending your text to 60110, Tesco will reply with a unique link to upload a photograph of your Tesco receipt, showing a purchase of the relevant product (this must be a purchase made within the promotional period). The purchase can be made in store or online – for a Tesco.com purchase, upload a photo of your delivery receipt or a screenshot of your online order. You may be able to enter multiple times if it’s a daily or weekly draw – but you will need to upload a photo of a new receipt each time.
What happens if you win a Tesco text competition?
If you win a Tesco text entry competition, you will usually get a text message congratulating you on your win, although it could be a phone call. Winners will need to email a specific address @tescoprizes.com within a set period (usually 14 days) and may be asked to provide a photo of their ID to validate the win. A passport or driving licence is fine (if you like, block out any numbers so just your name, face and date of birth are showing). If you have neither of these, a bus pass or library/gym card showing your date of birth should be OK!
If the message doesn’t specifically state what you need to include in your email, just say something along the lines of:
Thank you for choosing me as a winner! My phone number is 07710 123456, and I would like to accept the prize.
The email address in the text message is specific to the promotion, so you don’t need to worry about mentioning which promotion it was.
See example winning texts below!
