What $10,000 Actually Looks Like in Your Life

DC Comics is giving away $10,000 in cash — and that’s not a gift card, not store credit, not a voucher. It’s a check in your name. For most households, $10,000 is a meaningful chunk: it covers several months of bills, pays down a credit card, funds a home project, or seeds a savings account in a real way.

The grand prize ARV is listed at $10,500 total, which includes the cash and the creative consultation opportunity. The cash portion alone — $10,000 — is the headline. And unlike sweepstakes where the prize is a product you have to sell or store, cash is immediately useful the moment the check clears.

Prize Summary
  • $10,000 USD cash (check in winner’s name)
  • Creative consultation with DC Comics artists to inspire a new character
  • Original artwork featuring the newly created character
  • Total ARV: $10,500 USD / £7,857.81 / $14,507.17 CAD
  • 1 grand prize winner drawn randomly from all eligible entries

The DC Character Opportunity — What It Actually Is

Beyond the cash, DC Comics is offering the winner a chance to provide ideas and input to their comic book artists and design professionals for the possible creation of a new character. This is genuinely rare — DC Comics characters have been part of pop culture for over 80 years, and the idea that a sweepstakes winner could inspire one is a compelling creative hook.

Here’s what the rules say about how it works: the consultation happens virtually via video or phone call, the timing is set by DC with as little as three days’ notice, and the number and length of calls are at DC’s discretion. DC owns all rights to any character created. The winner can’t record the call without written permission from DC.

It’s worth being realistic: the character “may be inspired in whole or in part” on the winner, and DC has full creative control. But the original artwork piece featuring the new character is a tangible, collectible deliverable — and the experience of working with DC Comics artists is genuinely one-of-a-kind.

The Creative Consultation at a Glance
  • Virtual video or phone call with DC Comics artists
  • Winner provides ideas and input for a new character
  • Character may be inspired by the winner’s appearance or personality
  • One piece of original artwork featuring the new character included
  • DC Comics retains all intellectual property rights
  • Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian

How to Enter — Free Online Form, One Entry Per Person

Entering is straightforward. Visit buildingbad.dc.com during the promotion period, fill out the online entry form with your full name, email address, date of birth, and country, then check the box confirming you meet the eligibility requirements. That’s it — one entry per person for the entire promotion period.

There is no purchase required and no way to buy additional entries. The rules are clear: a purchase or payment of any kind will not increase your chances of winning. The drawing is random, and every eligible entry has an equal shot.

Who Is Eligible to Enter

This sweepstakes is open internationally — not just to US residents. Legal residents of all 50 US states and DC, Canada, and the United Kingdom are all eligible. The minimum age is 13, though minors must have a parent or guardian’s permission before entering.

A few groups are excluded: employees of DC Comics, the LEGO Group (the prize supplier), the administrator Probability LLC, and their family members cannot enter. Professional comic book artists and writers — defined as anyone who has received compensation for artwork or writing in a published comic book — are also excluded.

Eligibility at a Glance
  • Open to: US (all 50 states + DC), Canada, United Kingdom
  • Minimum age: 13 years old (minors need parental permission)
  • Not eligible: DC Comics employees, LEGO Group employees, professional comic book artists/writers, and their immediate family members
  • Canada winners: Must correctly answer a math skill-testing question to claim the prize
  • US/Canada winners: Must consent to a background check

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there really no purchase required?

Correct. The rules explicitly state that no purchase or payment of any kind is required to enter or win, and that making a purchase will not increase your odds.

Can I enter more than once?

No. The limit is one entry per person per email address for the entire promotion period. Multiple entries will result in disqualification of all your entries.

What happens if I win but I’m a minor?

The prize may be awarded in the name of the minor’s parent or legal guardian. The parent or guardian must accompany the minor during the DC Comics creative consultation.

How will I know if I win?

DC Comics will contact the winner by email on or about June 2, 2026. You must respond within 3 business days or the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner drawn.

Will I actually appear in a DC comic book?

Not necessarily. The rules say a character “may be inspired in whole or in part” on the winner. DC has full creative control and is not obligated to use the character in any publication. The deliverable is one piece of original artwork featuring the new character.

Is this affiliated with Instagram or Facebook?

No. The rules explicitly state this promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Meta Platforms, Inc. or X Corp. Your information goes to DC Comics, not to social media platforms.
