HOW TO ENTER: There are two (2) ways to enter this Sweepstakes: 1) Automatic Entry: Participants will automatically receive one (1) entry into the Grand Prize Drawing and one (1) entry into a Weekly Drawing for each purchase they make with their eligible Visa Prepaid card or Visa Payroll card during the Promotion Period. The date and time of an eligible purchase will determine the Weekly Drawing for which the entry is eligible. Entries which are eligible for one Weekly Drawing will not be eligible for subsequent Weekly Drawings. PIN-based and ATM transactions are not eligible. Each Visa purchase must be made within the U. S. during the Promotion Period in order to be valid. The value of a purchase will not increase or decrease your chances of winning a prize. Only eligible Visa Prepaid cards or Visa Payroll cards can receive automatic entries. The following Visa Prepaid cards are excluded from entry into the Sweepstakes: Visa Buxx, Visa Gift Card, Visa Healthcare Cards, Visa Incentive Card, Visa Government, and Visa TravelMoney. Automatic entries must be made by 11:59:59 PM PT on 4/15/19, in order to be eligible for the Grand Prize Drawing. Automatic entries must be made within the period stated in the Weekly Entry Chart in the Official Rules here in order to be eligible for the applicable Weekly Drawing, but no later than 11:59:59 PM PT on 4/15/19, in order to be eligible. 2) U.S. Mail: You may enter the Sweepstakes without a Visa Prepaid card or Visa Payroll card, or purchase via U.S. Mail by hand-printing your name, address, city, state, ZIP code, and daytime and evening telephone numbers (including area code) on a 3" x 5" card, and mail, in a #10 envelope with postage affixed, to: Visa Prepaid 2019 Tax Sweepstakes, PO Box 795, Plainview, NY 11803-0795.

Mail-in entries must be postmarked and received by the dates specified in the Weekly Entry Chart in the Official Rules available here in order to be eligible for the applicable Weekly Drawing. The postmark date will determine the Weekly Drawing for which the entry is eligible. Enter as often as you wish; but each mail-in entry must be mailed in a separate postmarked-and-stamped envelope. No mechanical reproductions allowed. PRIZES: One (1) Grand Prize: $15,000 loaded onto the winner’s Visa Prepaid card or Visa Payroll card tied to the entry. Approximate Retail Value (ARV): $15,000.

ODDS: Estimated odds of winning the Grand Prize are 1:519,501,885; estimated odds of winning a Weekly Prize are 1:34,633,459; however, the actual odds of winning the Grand Prize depend upon the total number of eligible automatic and mail-in entries received during the Promotion Period; and the actual odds of winning a Weekly Prize depend upon the total number of eligible automatic and mail-in entries received for each Weekly Drawing.
