    Q: What are cookies?
    A: Cookies are files on your computer that can be used to store information, so that you don't have to sign in each time you visit the site.

    Q: Why do I have to accept cookies to register?

    Q: My web browser doesn't use cookies. Can I still register?
    A: Practically all graphical Web browsers support cookies, and you will need one to use iWon. We have extensively tested the iWon Web site with the following popular operating systems and web browsers:

    IBM PC and Compatibles, using Windows 95, 98, ME, and Windows 2000:
    1 >     Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0 and 5.0
    1 > Netscape Navigator versions 4.7x
    1 > America Online version 4.0 and 5.0

    Macintosh:
    1 > Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0 and 4.5
    1 > Netscape Navigator versions 4.x
    1 > America Online version 4.0

    UNIX/ Linux:
    1 > Netscape Navigator version 4.x

    If you are not sure what browser you have, try looking in the "Help" menu of your browser. Most browsers contain information about the browser version number. If you need to update your browser to use iWon, we've made it easy. Just click on the appropriate link above to visit the Web site where you can upgrade your existing Web browser or download a new one (it's free).

    Q: What are the gray numbers (example: 5>) next to the links I see on iWon?
    A: Those are the number of entries you will automatically get by clicking on that link. That's all you have to do - It's that simple! Currently, you can get a maximum of 100 entries a day, each of which is counted toward the $10,000 Weekday, 5 X $1,000 Weekend, and (up to) $25 Million Annual Sweepstakes. (Each entry is also counted toward the Monthly Bonus Prizes Sweepstakes once you register - for free - for the Prizes. 10>     Click here to register.)

    Q: How do I know how many entries I have?
    A: Once you have registered, the entries you collect from clicking on links on iWon will automatically be displayed on the real-time entry counter at the top of your screen. You can also get information at any time by clicking on      1 >     My entries.

    BACK TO TOP


    Q: Why does my entry counter go away (providing just links to "iWon", "My iWon", and "Shopping") as I click deeper into the site?
    A: On some pages, the entry counter will go away, and will be replaced with links to "iWon", "My iWon", and "Shopping". Click on any of these links to get back to a web page on iWon that displays your entry counter.

    As you click deeper into the site, you will actually leave the iWon site and iWon co-branded contents altogether. If you have made iWon your home page, simply click "home" on your browser and you will return to iWon. If you have not made iWon your home page, you must re-access the iWon site by entering www.iwon.com into your browser, like you would for any other site.

    Q: May I continue to use iWon after I reach the daily entry limit?
    A: Absolutely! In fact you can spend all day on iWon. Email your family...keep up with the stock market throughout the day...get sports score updates throughout the night...or read every little bit of iWon Today's daily tips, jokes, recipes and more. There's no limit to how much fun -- and how much information -- you can find on iWon.

    Q: I forgot my member ID and password. Should I register again?
    A: We don't recommend that you have more than one iWon membership. Having more than one account will make keeping an accurate count of your cumulative entries difficult. Also, if you accumulate more than 100 entries in a single day as a result of having multiple accounts, you will not be eligible to win. If you can't remember your ID or Password,     1 >     please click here for more information.

    Q: How do I update my member information?
    A: You can update your registration information online by selecting 1 >     My Profile from the iWon home page. We recommend that you keep your information current so we can contact you if you win.

    Q: Someone else's name is on the top left of my iWon page. What should I do?
    A: If someone else used iWon on your computer and did not sign out, you will see their member name in the upper left corner of the screen.

    To sign on with your own account (you want to be the one who wins, don't you?), simply click on "I'm not <name>" and you will see a page for you to sign in with your own Member ID and Password.

    If you share your computer, you can click on "sign out" on your iWon home page when you are finished using iWon. Then, when you come back, just sign in and we will know it's you!
