20 Winners Get $250 Swag Kits in the Tyson National Chicken Month Sweepstakes

What Each of the 20 Winners Receives

Every winner receives the same $250 Tyson Foodservice swag kit. There are no separate prize levels to compare, and the promotion does not list a cash alternative as the prize.

The kit includes a Tyson Foodservice hat and apron, two useful pieces for someone who regularly works around a kitchen or foodservice operation. A water bottle and JBL speaker add items that can also be used away from work.

The remaining pieces give the package its playful chicken theme: a chicken squishy, stickers, button patches and a chicken-themed playlist. Readers should expect the named merchandise, not a $250 payment or gift card.

A total of 20 winners will be selected. At $250 per kit, the promotion’s total prize value is $5,000.

Who Can Enter This Foodservice Sweepstakes

The most important restriction is occupational eligibility. The Tyson National Chicken Month Sweepstakes is open to U.S. foodservice operators and people employed in culinary roles who have reached the age of majority where they live.

It is not open to the general public simply because someone enjoys cooking, buys Tyson products or works in an unrelated position. Your employment must place you in an eligible foodservice or culinary role.

Foodservice operators serving K–12 settings are specifically excluded. That means school foodservice workers in the K–12 category should not submit an entry, even if their daily work is culinary in nature.

The sweepstakes is also void in Florida and New York. Eligible workers must be in a participating U.S. location outside those two states and satisfy all other requirements.

If your job title is broad or your workplace has several types of operations, review the eligibility language on the official promotion page before entering. This is especially important for institutional, educational or mixed-use foodservice workplaces.

How to Submit Your One Allowed Entry

Visit the official Tyson Foodservice National Chicken Month Sweepstakes page during the entry period. Follow the page instructions and provide the requested information accurately, using details that Tyson can use to verify your eligibility and contact you if selected.

Because employment in foodservice or a culinary role is central to eligibility, do not describe an unrelated hobby as professional experience. Enter only if your actual position meets the stated requirement.

Check your email address carefully before submitting. Winners will be contacted by email, so a typo, an outdated address or an inbox you rarely monitor could interfere with an important notification.

No purchase is required. Buying a Tyson product does not add entries or improve the result of the random drawing.

After submitting, save a simple personal note showing the date you entered. You do not need to repeatedly revisit the form, and keeping a record can prevent an accidental duplicate entry.

Why the Once-Only Entry Limit Matters

Each eligible person may enter only once during the entire sweepstakes. This is not a daily, weekly or per-visit opportunity, so the best strategy is to submit one complete, accurate entry rather than rush through the form multiple times.

Choose a time when you can review every field before sending it. Confirm your name, contact email, state and any requested work information. Accuracy matters more than entering on a particular day because winner selection is conducted through a random computerized drawing.

Do not submit another entry because you forgot whether the first one went through. Look for an on-page confirmation or any legitimate confirmation message, then keep your own dated note.

The one-entry rule also means there is no advantage to returning each morning, changing email addresses or attempting to enter from another device. One valid entry keeps you within the stated limit.

Entry Dates and the September 30 Deadline

The entry period runs from August 24 through September 30, 2026. Entries must be completed by the promotion deadline on September 30, 2026.

Avoid waiting until the final hours if you already know you qualify. Entering earlier gives you time to read the occupational restrictions, correct your contact details and finish without last-minute connection or device problems.

The closing date is not the same thing as the winner-notification date. The supplied promotion facts confirm that winners are chosen in a random computerized drawing and notified by email, but readers should consult the official rules for the detailed winner timetable and any response requirements.

If you find the promotion before August 24, wait until the entry period opens. If you reach it after September 30, do not assume the form is still accepting valid entries merely because the webpage remains accessible.

How to Handle a Possible Winner Email Safely

Monitor the email account used on your entry after the sweepstakes closes. Check the spam, junk and promotions folders as well as the main inbox so a legitimate message is less likely to be missed.

A potential winner may need to respond or provide information to confirm identity and eligibility. Read the official winner instructions promptly, note any response window and verify that the message matches the promotion you entered.

Remember the basic facts when evaluating a message: the prize is a $250 Tyson Foodservice swag kit, no purchase was required, and winners are contacted by email. A message demanding payment to release the kit, requesting a purchase or unexpectedly substituting a different prize should be treated cautiously.

Do not send sensitive information solely because an email uses Tyson branding. Verify questionable instructions through the official promotion page and its published contact method rather than replying to an unfamiliar address or using links in a suspicious message.

Finally, be prepared to confirm that you held an eligible foodservice or culinary position and were of legal age when you entered. The occupational requirement is not a suggestion; it is the defining condition of this sweepstakes, alongside the state and K–12 exclusions.
