How often can you play?

The rules allow one entry/game play per person every seven days. Treat this as a seven-day interval rather than assuming your eligibility resets every Monday.

Submitting entries above the limit results in disqualification. If you are eligible to return, note when you last played so you do not submit another entry too soon.

What happens if you receive a winning message?

A potential winner sees a “Congratulations” or similar message after submitting the completed entry. The administrator must verify the game play before awarding the prize.

The sponsor anticipates delivery within 24–48 hours, but the rules say to allow up to five business days for the $25 deposit to appear in your Venmo account. The payment goes to the mobile phone number provided on your entry.

A winner who does not have a Venmo account and declines to create one forfeits the prize. A suspended Venmo account also results in forfeiture under the rules.

A few details worth checking

• One prize per person: Weekly participation does not allow you to collect multiple prizes.
• Accurate information matters: Your entry must be complete and verified with the one-time code.
• Mobile charges may apply: Message, data and other service charges depend on your provider.
• Odds are not fixed: They depend on completed entries and the administrator’s random-selection algorithm.
• Venmo is the payment method: Its name does not imply that Venmo sponsors or endorses the promotion.
