Some Microsoft Rewards users are receiving official emails indicating an upcoming price increase for Xbox Game Pass redemptions.
The $1 million winner of the last big money Microsoft Rewards contest has been revealed, and the program has announced that a new one is on the way. A new contest will see a $2 million prize distributed among 101 winners total, with the grand prize of $1 million USD given to a single user, and the remaining $1 million distributed between the remaining winners, who will receive $10,000 prizes each. The contest is not yet open, nor has Microsoft Rewards stated when it will begin, but users can sign up to be alerted when the contest opens by visiting the contest page now.
What to Expect From Microsoft Rewards Contest
While the exact rules have yet to be announced, users can likely gleam a lot of details from the million dollar contest hosted by the program. Last time around, the Microsoft Rewards million dollar giveaway was open for a couple months, giving users plenty of time to enter. The prior contest was open to residents of the US, Canada, UK, France, and Germany. The first entry was free to any user of the reward program, with additional entries possible by using points. Last time around, users could turn in 2000 points for five additional entries. Microsoft Rewards also made charity donations based on entrants who accumulated 50 entries or more, leading to a $162,230 donation split between the World Wildlife Fund and Unicef.
While the chances of winning something like this are always slim, there’s no harm in entering, especially if the contest provides a free entry like last time. With 100 winners sharing a second prize, there’s more chances to come away with a cash prize in general, which may appeal to some users. Those who want the best chance may want to start working towards earning Microsoft Rewards points now so that they have a stockpile ready to spend on additional entries when the contest begins.
