11 Winners Get HI-CHEW Halloween Prizes, Including a $3,000 Prepaid Card: Sweepstakes

What the 11 HI-CHEW winners receive

One grand-prize winner receives a $3,000 prepaid card, sponsor-selected HI-CHEW candy, and branded Halloween merchandise. The card is the promotion’s biggest prize component, while the candy and merchandise make the package specific to the HI-CHEW Halloween campaign.

Ten first-prize winners each receive a package containing sponsor-selected HI-CHEW candy and branded Halloween merchandise. Each first-prize package has a stated value of $100.

That makes 11 winners altogether: one grand-prize winner and 10 first-prize winners. The prize tiers are not interchangeable, and entrants should not assume that merchandise styles, candy flavors, sizes, or quantities can be selected. The sponsor chooses the included candy and branded items.

The prepaid card is part of the grand prize only. The 10 first prizes do not include a $3,000 card or a cash alternative based on the verified prize description.

How the online flavor-guess entry works

To enter online, visit the official HI-CHEW Flavor Mash Game page and complete the sweepstakes form. The entry includes a question asking you to guess the mystery flavor combination found in the HI-CHEW Halloween Mystery Mix.

You do not need the correct flavor guess to have a chance at one of the 10 first prizes. Any submitted guess qualifies for the first-prize drawing, provided the rest of the entry is valid and you meet the eligibility requirements.

The grand prize works differently. Your online flavor guess must be correct for your entry to qualify for the grand-prize drawing. A wrong guess can therefore remain eligible for a first prize while being excluded from consideration for the prepaid-card package.

Before submitting, check your name, email address, phone number, birth date, and other requested details carefully. Those details may be used to contact and verify a potential winner. A typo in an email address or phone number can make an otherwise simple entry harder to confirm.

Why the mail-in option is unusual

The sweepstakes also offers a mail-in entry method, and it handles the flavor requirement differently. A valid mail-in entry qualifies for both the grand-prize and first-prize drawings without requiring an answer to the mystery-flavor question.

For this method, handprint your full name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and birth date on plain 3-by-5-inch paper. The mailing address cannot be a P.O. box. Place the paper in a hand-addressed, stamped envelope and send it to: Attn: HI-CHEW Mystery Sweepstakes Entry, 4 Park Plaza, Ste 750, Irvine, CA 92614.

Follow the handwriting, paper-size, envelope, postage, and required-information instructions exactly. A loose interpretation could make the mailed entry invalid. Allow enough mailing time rather than waiting until the final day.

Online and mail-in entries are simply two ways to use the same one-entry allowance. Do not submit once online and once by mail, because that would exceed the limit of one entry per person total.

The best strategy for a one-entry limit

There is no daily-entry advantage here. Each person may enter only once in total, whether that entry is submitted online or mailed. Extra submissions do not create extra chances and could instead affect eligibility.

If you enter online, take time to make your best mystery-flavor guess because a correct answer is necessary to reach the grand-prize drawing through that method. Your entry can still be considered for a first prize even if the guess is incorrect.

If you choose the mail-in route, remember that it qualifies for both drawings without a flavor answer, but it introduces practical requirements such as handwriting the entry, using a stamped envelope, providing a street mailing address, and meeting both the postmark and receipt dates.

Choose one method, review every field or handwritten detail, and submit only once. Saving a private note that you entered can prevent an accidental duplicate later in the promotion period.

Who can enter and when entries close

The HI-CHEW Halloween Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and Washington, D.C., who are at least 18 years old. Residency and age are assessed under the official requirements, so entrants should confirm that they qualify before participating.

Online entries close Oct 31, 2026 at 2:59 AM ET, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. That corresponds to October 31 at 2:59 a.m. Eastern Time, but entering earlier is safer than relying on a time-zone conversion near the cutoff.

Mail-in entries must be postmarked by October 30, 2026, and received by November 4, 2026. The postmark alone is not enough if the envelope arrives after the receipt deadline, so leave a reasonable delivery cushion.

The drawings are expected on or about November 5, 2026. That date is separate from the entry deadline and does not provide extra time to submit an entry.

How to handle a possible winner message safely

Potential winners will be contacted using the information supplied with their entries. Monitor the email inbox and phone number you provided, including spam, junk, and filtered-message folders, around and after the anticipated drawing date.

Do not ignore a time-sensitive verification request, but confirm that any message is connected to the official promotion before sharing additional personal information. Compare the sender, promotion name, and instructions with the official rules. A legitimate prize notification should not require you to buy something to receive the prize.

Respond only through verified contact details and never send payment, gift card numbers, or banking credentials to someone claiming that a fee is necessary to release a prize. Be cautious with unexpected links or messages that alter the stated prize.

After a winner completes the required verification, prizes are expected to ship in approximately four to six weeks. That estimate begins after verification, not necessarily on the drawing date.

Final checks before submitting your entry

Decide whether the online flavor challenge or the mail-in method makes more sense for you. Online entry is faster, but the grand-prize drawing requires a correct mystery-flavor guess. A compliant mail-in entry reaches both drawings without answering that question.

Use the official HI-CHEW promotion page, confirm that your contact information is current, and remember the one-entry-per-person total limit. If mailing, include every requested detail, use a non-P.O.-box address, add proper postage, and send the envelope early enough to arrive by November 4.

Most importantly, submit by the deadline that applies to your chosen method. One careful entry is all you are allowed—and all you need for a chance to become one of the 11 winners.
