Southwest is back with a HUGE giveaway for California residents. Entry is easy and there are tons of prizes and so many ways to win. We’ve put together a quick guide with all of the basics you need to know to enter.
The promotion runs between March 12, 2018 and April 10, 2018 at 11:58:59 PM Pacific Time. Eligible participants must be California residents, 18 years old or older, and have or sign up for a Rapid Rewards account before entering.
How to Register
At any time during the promotion period, visit the promotion website and submit the registration form. You will need to include information like your name, email address, Rapid Rewards account number, and zip code.
How to Win
Daily Sweepstakes
Once you register, you will receive one entry per day into the daily sweepstakes. Unfortunately, entries don’t roll to the next day. You will however, automatically get an entry into each day’s sweepstakes.
If you want an additional entry into the daily sweepstakes, you can log onto the promotional website and share the sweepstakes with a friend. You can share once per day for an extra entry. Prizes for the daily sweepstakes range from 20,000 to 1,000,000 Rapid Rewards points depending on the day.
Play Instant Win Game
During each daily entry period, you can log onto the promotion site to play the daily instant win game. Spin the prize wheel, and you will instantly be notified if you are a winner. Prizes for the instant win game range from 1,000 to 10,000 Rapid Rewards points.
Instagram Challenges
Once you have registered for the promotion through the website, you can choose to participate in the five Instagram challenges. When you login to the promotional website using your Rapid Rewards account number, you will see the theme and call to action under your Dashboard. Post a picture (can include a collage) that is consistent with the theme and include the hashtags, #californiamillions AND #contestentry. Each winner will receive 20,000 Rapid Rewards points.
The five entry periods are on March 15, March 18, March 22, March 29, and April 5, 2018. You can submit entries on those dates between 12:00:00 am and 11:59:59 pm Pacific Time.
There are a whole slew of rules and regulations involved in this portion of the contest. If you are considering entering, I would encourage you to check out the details here because you don’t want to miss anything.
