Contests to Win Money Can Bring $160K

Cash from national contests can help you pay off debt, finance that dream vacation around the world or send you on a shopping spree in style. But you can’t win the money unless you enter the contests. The odds may be tough but it’s easy to enter online. And, someone has to win, right? Why not good people like you?

The contests listed here represent about $160,000 in cash prizes and that excludes the Publishers Clearing House SuperPrize. The uber lucky person who scores in that contest brings in $7,000 a week for life — not a bad haul for the few minutes it takes to enter.

The Time to Enter Cash Money Contests is Now

Don’t delay in entering contests to win cash. Some of the 2022 deadlines are in October.

1. Dream Bedroom $10,000 Sweepstakes

Do you dream of a bedroom like the ones you see in magazines? A relaxing haven where you can rest without worrying about clutter or mismatched decor? Then the Dream Bedroom $10,000 Sweepstakes from Meredith Corporation is your dream giveaway. And while the sweepstakes is marketed as a way to update your bedroom, the prize itself is a check that you can use however you want.

To enter, go to any of Meredith Corporation’s magazine websites (which include Southern Living, Health, Real Simple and People) and enter your email address.

To be eligible to win, you need to sign up for an account with Nielsen and provide information about your household and the devices you use. Then, you’ll need to download an app to your phone or tablet, or some software to your computer (don’t worry, it’s secure). Your info will be reported to Nielsen so they can see what products and services you use, and they can use your data (along with data from thousands of other participants) to improve these products and services.

In addition to the chance to win $10,000 every month, you can also earn points that translate into a maximum of $50 per year. You can redeem the points for gift cards to stores such as Amazon and Walmart.
