My receipt is older than 7 days. Can I still enter?

Not online. The survey portal strictly blocks receipts 7 days after the printed timestamp. Use the Mail-In Method (AMOE).

Is the prize a Gift Card or Cash?

It is a $500 Check. Lowe’s mails a physical check to verified winners. You must deposit it into a bank account.

How many times can I enter?

Limit: 1 Entry Per Month. The rules are strict: you get one entry per person/email per entry period.

How do I know if I won?

Winners are notified via Phone, Email, and Overnight Mail (FedEx/UPS). You will never be notified via a browser pop-up.

Do I need to buy something to enter?

No. You can use the Alternate Means of Entry (AMOE) by hand-printing your details on a 4x5 card and mailing it.
