We’ll usually give you a hint as to which website will be the most helpful.

How long do I have to answer the weekly question?

You may answer from Monday at 12:01am until Sunday at 11:59pm of a given question week.

How are winners chosen?

Winners are chosen at random from the correct answers. So if you answer the question correctly, you have a chance at winning. If you guess the wrong answer, you have to wait until next week to be eligible for the prize.

How will I know if I won or not?

Winners will be contacted the Monday following the question week. We’ll first try to reach the winner via email. If that doesn’t work, we’ll call the winner.

If I win, can I win again?

Yes, if you answer the question correctly and are chosen at random again.
