Earlier today I was browsing my Facebook newsfeed when a certain post caught my eye:
Immediately I thought it was too good to be true. Really, how can you possibly win $20,000 without even writing an essay? And yet, after a bit of research I found the entire event to be legitimate. The contest is open to students over the age of 13, thus open to students in grade school, high school, college and university!
Naturally you have to create an account to be entered into the draw for the $20,000, then you are given the choice to opt into various additional prize packages that are being released all throughout the contest period, so far: 5 Dell XPS Ultrabooks, and a $5000 Mexx shopping spree – the catch is that you have to keep checking back to opt into the new prizes.
Like any good contest there are ways to increase your odds of winning, basically more entries = better odds.
There are also contests within the contest, past Flash Contests include: an AWAKE chocolate prize pack and a $500 and CDs pack.
All in all this contest is UNBELIEVABLE – whether you choose to just sign up or go out of your way to earn extra entries, I suggest you check this out – it’s a crazy contest and yet, somebody’s going to win, so why not take a minute to enter?
Who knows, you could turn out to be Canada’s Luckiest Student! 🙂
