Official Rules

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW. OPEN ONLY TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS WHO LIVE IN THE 50 UNITED STATES OR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND ARE 18 OR OLDER (19 IN ALABAMA AND NEBRASKA, 21 IN MISSISSIPPI). THESE RULES INCLUDE A BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIALS (SECTION 17).

1. No purchase necessary

MegaMoneySweeps (the “Site”) offers a continuing series of separate promotional sweepstakes and token games (together, the “Promotion”). Nothing on the Site is for sale. Entry is free, Tokens (section 7) cannot be bought, and the Sponsor does not accept payment of any kind from entrants. Every game and every prize can be entered and won without paying anyone anything. If anyone asks you to pay to enter, or to pay a fee to receive a prize, it is not the Sponsor: report it to [email protected].

2. Sponsor

The Promotion is sponsored and administered by MegaMoneySweeps, 3709 dicksonia dr, Suite 2, Lexington, KY USA 40517 (the “Sponsor”), a Kentucky company. The Promotion is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, any state lottery, Apple, Google, Meta, any advertiser or offer partner, or any company whose name, product or gift card appears as a prize. Those names identify the prize only. Amazon is not a sponsor of this promotion. Amazon.com Gift Cards are subject to restrictions, see amazon.com/gc-legal.

3. Agreement to these rules

By creating an account, entering, or playing any game, you agree to these Official Rules, the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, and to the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding on every matter relating to the Promotion. These Official Rules control over any advertising, email, game screen or other description of the Promotion, and over the Terms of Use where the two conflict about the Promotion.

4. Eligibility

To enter or play, you must, at the time of every entry and play:

• be an individual human being acting for yourself, and not a bot, script, automated agent, business or anyone acting for another person;
• be a citizen of the United States living in the 50 United States or the District of Columbia;
• be 18 or older (19 in Alabama and Nebraska, 21 in Mississippi);
• have given only true, accurate and complete information to the Sponsor, including your legal name, date of birth and a valid, current residential street address where you live, and every answer you give to the optional member survey. You do not have to take the survey, but every answer you give in it must be truthful; and
• have complied with section 5, these Official Rules and the Terms of Use.

To win and be awarded any prize, you must also, before it is awarded, have confirmed the email address on your account and have a valid United States phone number at which you can be reached on your account, and still meet every requirement above.

Employees, officers, directors and contractors of the Sponsor, and the immediate family (parent, child, sibling or spouse, however related) and household members of each of them, are not eligible. One account per person. Where applicable law prohibits limiting eligibility by citizenship or immigration status, that limit does not apply to residents of that jurisdiction, who are eligible if they are legal residents and meet every other requirement. The Promotion is void where prohibited or restricted by law, and in any jurisdiction where it would require registration, bonding or a license the Sponsor has not obtained.

The Sponsor may verify any of these requirements at any time, and may require government-issued photo identification, proof of address, proof of citizenship and proof of age. If you do not provide what is requested within 10 days, or if the Sponsor cannot verify you to its satisfaction, you may be disqualified and your prizes and Tokens forfeited.

5. Automated play, ad blockers and prohibited conduct

You must play the Site yourself, by hand. You must not use, and must never have used while you hold an account:

• any bot, script, macro, crawler, automation tool, browser extension, emulator, device farm or other software or service that enters, plays, claims, watches, clicks, reads or otherwise uses the Site in place of you or faster than you could by hand; or
• any ad blocker, content blocker, browser setting or extension, DNS or network filter, or other software or service that blocks, hides, removes or alters the advertising on the Site. The advertising pays for the prizes. The Site may detect ad blocking and record it on your account.

You must also not:

• hold or use more than one account, use another person’s account, or let anyone else use yours;
• use a VPN, proxy or other means to disguise your identity or location, or use disposable or false email addresses or phone numbers;
• give false information, including false survey answers, or claim a prize for someone else;
• exploit any error, bug, malfunction or inconsistency in any game, offer, referral or reward, or fail to report one you have found;
• complete offers, referrals or rewarded videos fraudulently, in bulk, or on behalf of other people;
• sell, buy, transfer or trade accounts, Tokens, entries, plays or prizes; or
• tamper with, interfere with or attempt to undermine the Site, the games or the Promotion, or act in a way the Sponsor considers abusive, threatening or disruptive to other members or to staff.

If the Sponsor believes, in its sole discretion, that you have breached this section or any other part of these Official Rules, it may without notice void any or all of your entries, plays and results; remove your Tokens; disqualify you; refuse or withhold any prize, whether or not already approved; close your account; and bar you from the Site and any future promotion. You must repay the value of any prize paid to you while you were in breach within 30 days of the Sponsor asking. CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO DAMAGE THE SITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE PROMOTION MAY VIOLATE CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS. THE SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES FROM ANYONE WHO MAKES SUCH AN ATTEMPT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

In a dispute about who made an entry, the entry is made by the authorized account holder of the email address on the account at the time, meaning the person the email provider assigned that address to.

6. Promotion periods and how to take part

The Promotion began when the Site opened and continues until the Sponsor ends it by posting a notice on the Site. Each of the following is a separate sweepstakes with its own entry period:

• Daily Draws. Each draw game’s entry period for a game day runs from 12:00:00 a.m. to 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time, and its drawing takes place after the period closes, normally shortly after midnight. The Midday Draw is the exception: its entry period for a game day runs from 12:00:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day before to 11:59:59 a.m. Eastern Time on that day, and its drawing takes place shortly after noon. An entry made after that time goes into the next day’s The Midday Draw. An entry counts only for the period in which it is received. A drawing that runs late for any reason is conducted as soon as practicable, from the result fixed when that period opened (section 10).
• Instant Games. Each round is its own sweepstakes and is resolved when it is played. Daily allowances reset at midnight Eastern Time.
• Token Games. The coin pusher and roulette are played with Tokens for as long as a member’s Token balance allows. A machine or table lasts for one game day.
• Giveaways. Each run of each giveaway is its own sweepstakes, entered with Tokens, and its closing date is shown on the giveaway. The Sponsor may extend a run’s entry period before it closes. Entries already made remain in that run’s drawing, and the new closing date is shown on the giveaway.

To take part, create a free account, complete your profile and open a game. On a draw game you pick your numbers (on a card game, your cards) or use Quick Pick, which has exactly the same chance as numbers you choose. The free draw games allow one entry per member per game per entry period; token-entry draws cost the number of Tokens shown and allow the number of entries shown. Extra plays may be granted for confirming your email, completing the optional survey, check-ins, referrals, rewarded videos, articles, streaks, giveaway prizes, promotional emails and third-party offers. An extra play may be limited to the game it was offered on and to the day it was granted. An extra play offered by email is available once that day’s own play of the game has been used, and only for as long as the email says. Extra plays cannot be used on Daily Crossword, The Bonus Wheel, Coin Pusher or Roulette. A member who signs up from a promotional page that shows a line of numbers has that line entered in the named draw for the day they complete registration, in addition to their own daily entry. None of these requires a purchase. Some third-party offers involve signing up with or buying from a third party; no offer is ever required, and every game can be played and every prize won without completing one. The Sponsor sets and may change every allowance, limit and price; a draw keeps the game terms it opened with.

The Sponsor’s servers are the official clock and the official record of every entry, play, Token and result. An entry or play is made when the Sponsor’s servers record it, not when it is sent. Entries and plays that are late, incomplete, automated, duplicated, altered, or made by an ineligible person are void. The Sponsor is not responsible for entries or plays lost, delayed or garbled for any reason.

7. Tokens

• Tokens are promotional points with no cash or monetary value. They are not money, a deposit, a currency, property or a stored-value instrument, and they cannot be redeemed for cash. The Sponsor does not sell Tokens and never will.
• Tokens are earned free: 1 token for every round of every game, plus the other ways described on the Site. They can be used only to enter Token Games, token-entry draws and giveaways on the Site.
• Tokens cannot be sold, bought, transferred, gifted or combined between accounts. They are a limited, revocable license granted to you by the Sponsor, and the Sponsor may change how they are earned, what they cost to use, and what they can be used for, at any time.
• The Sponsor may remove Tokens credited in error, through a malfunction, through a breach of these rules, or for an offer the offer’s provider reverses or does not confirm, and may expire the Tokens on any account that has not been signed into for 12 months. All Tokens are forfeited, without compensation, when an account is closed or deleted for any reason.

8. Games, prizes and odds

Daily Draws

Each draw game draws its winning numbers from its pool. An entry wins the prize for the tier it matches. The prizes and exact odds for every draw game in the current lineup are:

Draw odds are the exact probability of matching that many numbers and do not depend on the number of entries received. There is no limit on the number of winners of a tier. Matching fewer numbers than the lowest tier wins nothing.

Lucky Deck displays the numbers 1 to 52 as a standard deck of playing cards. Every card is a number underneath: spades are 1 to 13, hearts 14 to 26, diamonds 27 to 39 and clubs 40 to 52, ace low in each. Choosing a card is choosing its number, and the drawing, matching, odds and verification in these Official Rules all apply to the numbers.

Instant Games and Token Games

The complete prize table and odds for each Instant Game and Token Game are stated on that game’s “How it works” card before you play, and form part of these Official Rules. The current lineup and each game’s top prize are:

• Daily Dollar: top prize $1, odds 1 in 504. 1 free play a day.
• Spin to Win: top prize $500, odds 1 in 8,000,000. 1 free play a day.
• Scratch & Match: top prize $100, odds 1 in 125,000. 1 free play a day.
• Fright Night: top prize $50, odds 1 in 250,000. 1 free play a day.
• Gold Rush 1849: top prize $250, odds 1 in 500,000. 1 free play a day.
• Gumdrop Trail: top prize $5, odds 1 in 6,667. 1 free play a day.
• Pumpkin Patch Bingo: top prize $100, odds 1 in 500,000. 1 free play a day.
• Mystery Box: top prize 500 tokens, odds 1 in 33. 1 free play a day.
• Cash Stash: top prize $100, odds 1 in 60,000. 1 free play a day.
• Quick Draw: top prize $500, odds 1 in 8,911,711. 1 free play a day.
• Match Two: top prize $10, odds 1 in 7,037. 1 free play a day.
• Daily Crossword: top prize 650 tokens. 1 free play a day.
• The Bonus Wheel: top prize $100, odds 1 in 1,000. Played only with a granted play.
• Plinko Drop: top prize $5, odds 1 in 16,384. 1 free play a day.
• Token Drop: top prize 5,000 tokens, odds 1 in 455. 1 free play a day.
• Coin Pusher: top prize $10, odds 1 in 8,884. A Token Game, played with Tokens.
• Roulette: top prize 3,600 tokens, odds 1 in 38. A Token Game, played with Tokens.

Roulette pays Tokens only. Each coin pusher machine is loaded from its committed seed when the game day opens, the chance that a given prize is in a machine is stated on the game’s card, and whether a member works a prize out of the machine depends on how they play it. The Daily Crossword is decided by solving it, not by chance. For Match Two, the chance stated is the chance that a prize is on the board; finding it is up to the player.

Giveaways

The prize, its approximate retail value, the Token cost of an entry and the closing date of each giveaway run are shown on the Redeem tokens page and form part of these Official Rules for that run. One winner is drawn at random from all eligible entries received in the run, each entry being one chance. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. If the selected winner is ineligible, disqualified or does not claim the prize, it is forfeited and the Sponsor may, but need not, select another winner. If a run receives no eligible entries, no prize is awarded.

Bonus prizes and promotions

The Sponsor may add bonus or promotional winnings to any game at any time, on top of whatever a play wins under the odds published for it. These include welcome bonuses for new members and seasonal or limited-time promotions, and the Sponsor may start, change or end any of them without notice. Bonus winnings are paid in the same way as other prizes, count towards the prize limits in these Official Rules, and are subject to every other condition here. They never change how a game is conducted: the outcome of the game itself is still fixed before play and published for checking as section 10 describes, and the published odds remain the odds of that game.

The one exception is the welcome round. While the Sponsor offers it, a member’s first play of the Daily Dollar draws the member’s own numbers back, in the order chosen, instead of drawing from a seed, and so pays the Daily Dollar prize. The game’s description says so on the page, that round has no seed to check, and every later play of the Daily Dollar is drawn and published as section 10 describes.

All prizes

• No single prize is worth $600 or more. The approximate retail value of a cash prize is its amount, of a gift card its face value, and of merchandise the value stated with it. Tokens and extra plays have no retail value.
• Prizes are awarded only to the eligible account holder, are not transferable, and cannot be substituted or exchanged for cash by the winner. The Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value for any reason. Merchandise and gift cards are provided as is, with only the manufacturer’s or issuer’s warranty, if any, and are subject to the issuer’s terms.
• Prizes, odds, balances and results shown on a screen or in an email are for information. The Sponsor’s records decide what was won.

9. Errors and malfunctions

MALFUNCTION VOIDS ALL PLAYS AND PAYS. If, because of any error or malfunction of software, hardware, network, data, display, seeding, printing or people, a game shows or records a result, prize, Token amount or win that is not the one its rules and seed produce, or more prizes are shown or awarded than the game provides, the Sponsor may void the affected entries, plays, results and prizes, correct any balance, and award only the prizes actually won under these Official Rules. The Sponsor is not required to award a prize shown or announced in error. Its determination is final.

10. How results are determined

Every draw, instant round, coin pusher machine, roulette table and giveaway run is decided by a computer process fixed before play. When it opens, the Sponsor generates a secret random value (the “seed”) and publishes only its SHA-256 hash (the “commitment”). The outcome is derived from the seed. When the draw, round, machine or run is over, the seed is published so that anyone can hash it, compare it with the commitment published beforehand, and derive the outcome again. The seed, commitment and a verification status are shown for completed draws on the results page, and How it works explains the check in plain language. Entries are scored automatically, and the result recorded by the Sponsor’s servers is final.

11. Winners, verification and payment

• Wins appear in your account after they are decided, and the Sponsor may notify you at the email address on your account. The Sponsor is not responsible for a notice that is not received, is filtered as spam, or is not read.
• Before any prize is awarded, the Sponsor verifies eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, and you must meet every requirement in section 4. The Sponsor may require a signed affidavit of eligibility, a liability and publicity release, a completed IRS Form W-9, and the documents described in section 4, each returned within 10 days of the request.
• Every cash prize, gift card and merchandise prize must be claimed from your account page before it is reviewed or sent: a cash prize by pressing Claim prize and saying on the claim page how you want to be paid, and a giveaway prize by pressing Claim prize beside it. A giveaway prize can be claimed once your email address is confirmed and a phone number is on your account. Tokens and extra plays are credited without a claim. A prize not claimed within 90 days of the day it could first be claimed is forfeited, unless the Sponsor, in its discretion, chooses to honor it.
• A payout can be requested once the member’s unpaid cash winnings total at least the minimum payout, currently $10, and the member’s email address is confirmed. The request gives a valid phone number and the payment method the member wants. Smaller amounts are held and added to later winnings. Cash winnings that have not reached the minimum payout within 12 months of the earliest of them being won are forfeited.
• Cash prizes are paid by PayPal to the address you give, by check mailed to the address on your account, or as a gift card code sent by email, as offered on the claim page at the time, or by any other method the Sponsor chooses. Payment is normally made within 60 days after a prize is approved. No interest is paid. Fees charged to the recipient by a payment provider are the winner’s. A check not cashed within 90 days of being issued is void and is reissued only where the law requires. The Sponsor is not responsible for a payment sent to the details the winner gave, or for a check, code or prize lost, stolen or misused after it is sent.
• A prize that is declined, not claimed in time, returned as undeliverable, or awarded to someone who is ineligible or who cannot be verified is forfeited, and the Sponsor may award it to someone else or not at all.

12. Taxes

Winners are solely responsible for all federal, state and local taxes on every prize and for any other cost of accepting or using one. The Sponsor may require a completed Form W-9 before paying any prize, will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC where a winner’s prizes in a calendar year total $600 or more, and will withhold any tax the law requires it to withhold. The value of a prize for tax purposes is its approximate retail value as stated by the Sponsor.

13. Publicity and the winners list

Except where prohibited by law, by accepting a prize you grant the Sponsor the right to use your name, city and state of residence, likeness, voice, statements and prize information, in any media now known or later developed, worldwide and without time limit, for advertising, publicity and any other purpose, without further notice, compensation or approval. The Site currently publishes winners as first name, last initial and state, with the prize, on the winners page and in its emails to members.

For a list of winners for any completed entry period, email [email protected] or write to Winners List, MegaMoneySweeps, 3709 dicksonia dr, Suite 2, Lexington, KY USA 40517, naming the game and the date, within six months of the end of that period.

14. The Sponsor’s rights

The Sponsor may, at any time and in its sole discretion: interpret these Official Rules; add, change, suspend or retire any game, prize, allowance, limit, price, odds or promotion for the future; cancel, suspend or modify the Promotion or any part of it if fraud, technical failure, a virus, unauthorized intervention or any other cause affects its administration, security, fairness or proper operation, and in that event award prizes from among the eligible entries received before the event; and amend these Official Rules. Amendments take effect when posted on this page and apply to every entry and play made after that. A draw already open keeps the game terms it opened with. The Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term is not a waiver of it.

15. Release, disclaimers and limitation of liability

By taking part, you release, discharge and hold harmless the Sponsor, its parents, affiliates, advertisers, offer and advertising partners, prize suppliers, payment providers, and each of their officers, directors, members, managers, employees, contractors and agents (the “Released Parties”) from every claim, liability, injury, loss or damage of any kind arising out of or relating to the Promotion, the Site, any Tokens, or the award, receipt, use or misuse of any prize, including claims based on publicity rights, defamation or invasion of privacy.

The Released Parties are not responsible for: incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrants, printing errors or any equipment or programming; technical failures of any kind, including malfunctions, interruptions or disconnections of networks, servers, software or devices; unauthorized human intervention in any part of the Promotion; errors in administering the Promotion or processing entries, plays or claims; or any injury or damage to any person’s device resulting from taking part.

THE PROMOTION, THE SITE AND EVERY PRIZE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RELEASED PARTIES ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, AND THEIR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE VALUE OF ANY PRIZE YOU VALIDLY WON UNDER THESE OFFICIAL RULES AND WERE NOT PAID.

You will indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claim, loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of your breach of these Official Rules or your taking part in the Promotion. Nothing in these Official Rules limits any liability that the law does not allow to be limited.

16. Governing law

These Official Rules and the Promotion are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration agreement. All questions about the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrants and the Sponsor, are governed by Kentucky law.

17. Disputes: binding arbitration and class action waiver

ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROMOTION, THESE OFFICIAL RULES OR ANY PRIZE WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION OF THE TERMS OF USE, WHICH IS PART OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES. YOU AND THE SPONSOR EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO BRING OR TAKE PART IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

To the fullest extent permitted by law: any remedy is limited to your actual out-of-pocket costs of taking part, and never attorneys’ fees; you waive any right to punitive, incidental, consequential or multiplied damages; and you waive any right to rescind these Official Rules or to seek an injunction or any other equitable relief against the Promotion.

18. Privacy

Information you give is collected by the Sponsor and used, shared and sold as described in the Privacy Policy, including to run the Promotion, verify eligibility, award prizes and advertise.

19. General

If any part of these Official Rules is held invalid or unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable, or severed if it cannot be, and the rest remains in effect. Headings are for convenience only. These Official Rules, the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about the Promotion. The Sponsor may assign its rights under them. The English version controls.
