30 Winners Get Instacart Gift Cards or Cozy Bundles in the Thomas’ Morning People

Thirty winners split two prize tiers

There are 30 winners in total, but the prizes are divided into two tiers. This matters because entering does not put everyone in line for an identical award.

Ten grand-prize winners each receive a $50 Instacart gift card, Thomas’ product, a YETI tumbler, a blanket, and slippers. Each complete grand-prize package has an approximate retail value of $150.

The remaining 20 winners each receive a $50 Instacart gift card. Those second prizes do not include the Thomas’ product or cozy accessories listed in the grand-prize package.

Together, the ten grand prizes are valued at $1,500, and the 20 second prizes are valued at $1,000. That brings the stated total value of all prizes to $2,500.

Start with the Morning Person Quiz

The basic online entry method begins on the official Thomas’ Morning People promotion page. Complete the Morning Person Quiz and follow the submission instructions to receive one entry.

Before starting, have your contact information ready and use an email address you check regularly. Accurate information is important because it may be used to identify or contact a potential winner after the drawing.

Slow down when entering your email address, phone number, and mailing details. A typo could make it difficult for the promotion administrator to reach you or confirm that an entry belongs to you.

The quiz entry is only the first opportunity. Completing it does not automatically provide all four permitted entries, so readers interested in reaching the maximum will need to use one of the additional-entry routes.

Use receipt uploads or the free mail-in option for extra entries

Each person may earn up to three additional entries. One method involves uploading Instacart receipts showing Thomas’ products. Keep any qualifying receipt clear and complete, and follow the official upload directions for accepted file formats and required purchase details.

Do not assume that repeatedly submitting the same receipt will create multiple valid entries. Follow the promotion page’s instructions for each submission and retain the original receipt or digital order record until the sweepstakes is finished.

A free mail-in method is also available for the additional entries. This gives participants an alternative to uploading Instacart purchase receipts. Mail-in submissions must follow the official formatting, mailing, and timing instructions, so review those details before preparing an envelope.

Mail-in entries require more planning than online submissions. Postal delivery can take several days, and preparing multiple entries at the last minute creates a risk that they will not satisfy the applicable timing requirements. Use the exact address and entry details supplied by the official promotion.

Plan your four-entry strategy carefully

The overall limit is four entries per person. A straightforward strategy is to complete the Morning Person Quiz for the first entry, then decide whether receipt uploads, mail-in entries, or an allowed combination of those methods works best for the remaining three.

Keep a simple note on your phone recording the date and method used for every entry. For example, list the quiz submission and each separate receipt upload or mail-in submission. This can help prevent accidental duplication or going over the four-entry cap.

More entries can give you additional chances in the random drawing, but only when each one follows the promotion requirements. Sending more than the permitted number is not a shortcut and may put excess submissions at risk of being disregarded.

This is a sweepstakes rather than an instant-win game. You should not expect an immediate prize result after completing the quiz or submitting another entry. Winners are selected later through a random drawing.

Check age, location, and deadline requirements

The Thomas’ Morning People Sweepstakes is open to eligible residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old. Meeting both the location and minimum-age requirements is necessary before entering.

The entry period begins August 27, 2026, and ends September 17, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Online entrants should pay attention to the Eastern Time cutoff, particularly when submitting from another time zone.

Avoid treating 11:59 p.m. as a target submission time. Website delays, connection trouble, incomplete receipt uploads, or a form correction could prevent a last-minute entry from being completed before the cutoff.

The stated random drawing is expected to occur around September 22, 2026. That date is several days after entries close, so keep monitoring the contact information used on your entry even though there is no instant result.

Handle a possible winner message safely

If a winner notification arrives, compare it with the information you submitted and the official promotion details. A legitimate message should correspond to the Thomas’ Morning People Sweepstakes and should not unexpectedly change the prize into something unrelated.

Potential winners may need to respond within a limited period and complete verification steps before a prize is confirmed. Read the message carefully, but do not send sensitive information simply because an email or text uses the Thomas’ name.

Be cautious if someone asks for payment, gift card numbers, banking credentials, or a fee to release a prize. Sweepstakes prizes should not require a winner to pay an upfront claim charge. Instead of clicking a questionable link, return independently to the official promotion page and use the published information to verify the communication.

Save your entry confirmation, receipt records, and copies of any mail-in materials until the drawing and notification period have passed. If contacted, respond through the verified channel stated in the official rules and keep a copy of all correspondence.

Make a final check before submitting

Confirm that you are at least 18, live in an eligible U.S. location, and are entering between August 27 and September 17, 2026. Then complete the Morning Person Quiz and choose how, if at all, to pursue the three additional entries.

Most importantly, stay within the four-entry limit and follow the separate instructions for receipt uploads or free mail-in submissions. A quick review now can prevent an incomplete form, unusable receipt, late envelope, or accidental extra entry from undermining your chance at one of the 30 prizes.
