Q: How do I get entries in the iWon sweepstakes?
A: Registered users of iWon automatically get entries each time they
click on links marked with a grey number like this:
5 > This
is an example of an iWon link!
The number in front of the link tells you how many entries you get for clicking that particular link or feature. In the example above, a member would receive 5 entries toward each of the Weekday/ Weekend, Monthly Bonus and Annual Sweepstakes for clicking on that link. That's all you have to do - it's that simple! In order to register, click 10> register here.

Q: Are my Weekday/ Weekend entries counted toward the Annual Sweepstakes?
A: Yes! Every entry you get, up to the current daily limit of 100 entries, is also an entry in the Annual Sweepstakes ($1 Million guaranteed, with a chance to win up to $25 Million).
BACK TO TOP
Q: How many entries can I get each day?
A: Currently, you can earn a maximum of 100 entries in a day. Your current Weekday (Monday - Friday), Weekend (Saturday - Sunday) and Annual prize entry totals are shown on your iWon entry counter. (Your Monthly Bonus Prizes entries are also displayed in your entry counter - however, for these entries to count, you must first register for the prizes. 5 > Click here for details.)
Note that your Weekday total will
reset to zero at approximately 5:00 a.m. Eastern Time Tuesday - Saturday mornings, and your Weekend total will reset to zero at approximately 5:00 a.m. Eastern Time, Sunday - Monday mornings. (Saturday and Sunday entries - up to 100 each day - are added together for the 5 X $1,000 Weekend prize drawings.)

Q: May I continue to use iWon after I reach my daily entry limit?
A: Absolutely! In fact, you can spend all day on iWon if you want. 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: Can I have more than one iWon membership and earn more than 100 entries a day that way?
A: Currently, the iWon 1 > Sweepstakes Rules limit members to 100 entries per day. Therefore, if you have already registered with us - at home, at work, or anywhere else - we advise that you do not register again. Instead, please 5 > Sign in here. You will then be asked for your member name and password. If you wish to register a second time, you should be advised that you will be ineligible to win if the combined number of entries from your multiple member accounts exceeds 100 during any day.

Q: What happens if I get more than 100 entries in a single day?
A: Our system will automatically stop registering new entries when you reach the current 100 entries per day
limit. You can, however, continue to use the site. Your entries into the $10,000 Weekday Sweepstakes and 5 x $1,000 Weekend Sweepstakes will reset to zero at
approximately 5:00 a.m. Eastern Time each day. Anyone found to have accumulated more than 100 entries in a single day will be disqualified from participating in the sweepstakes.

Q: Why do the totals on my entry counter disappear at 5:00 a.m. Eastern time?
A: From approximately 5:00 a.m. to 5:20 a.m. Eastern Time each day, your entry counter will state: "Hold on. We're busy counting your entries for the day." During this time period, we are transferring your entries to SCA, an independent sweepstakes execution company that tabulates entries and conducts the drawings. It takes about 20 minutes every day, but don't worry, you will continue to collect entries during this 20-minute period.

Q: Why does my entry counter "shrink" (showing just the colors of the entry counter, but not my entry totals) as I click deeper into the site?
A: On some pages where iWon has co-branded with another partner, your entry counter may shrink. Click on any of the links just below the entry counter (such as "iWon", "My iWon" and "Shopping") to get back to a Web page on iWon that displays your full entry counter, including your entry totals.
As you click deeper into the site, you may actually leave the iWon site and iWon co-branded services altogether. If you have made iWon your home page, simply click "home" on your browser and you will return to iWon (and automatically receive 5 entries). If you have not made iWon your home page, you must re-access the iWon site by entering the address www.iwon.com into your browser, like you would for any other site.

Weekend Sweepstakes will reset to zero at approximately 5:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Sunday morning,
