No purchase, card application, or transaction is necessary to enter the sweepstakes: those without a Discover card can enter once per day by mailing in their info on a 3 x 5 inch piece of paper along with a self-addresses stamped envelope. But of course, it’s obviously much simpler to play by just using your Discover card.
What are the prizes?
The Discover card million dollar sweepstakes is actually giving away a lot more than a $1,000,000. There are 75 prizes which will be randomly awarded each day:
(1) $500 Discover gift card
(4) $100 Discover gift cards
(70) $25 Discover gift cards
After the sweepstakes ends (12/31) there will be one grand prize winner randomly selected from all the entries over the course of the year. This grand prize winner will be awarded $1,000,000. Unlike the lottery which pays installments, this prize will be given in one lump sum for the entire amount…. pretty cool, huh?!
How many total winners will there be?
According to me calculations, 75 daily winners x 365 days = 27,375. Then when you add in the one grand prize winner, I suppose that would mean there will be a total of 27,376 winners from the Discover Card sweepstakes in 2010.
When are the winners notified?
From what I gather, winners are notified via mail in the days/weeks following each daily drawing. The $1,000,000 grand prize drawing won’t take place until January of next year, so obviously that winner won’t know until around that time.
