What You Can Do with the Prize If You Win
So let’s dream for a second. Imagine waking up on July 17 to find out you’ve won the $5,000 grand prize. What’s next?
If you're the Grand Prizewinner, here's what you could do:
- Finally clear that credit card balance.
- Book a Comic-Con trip and cosplay your way through San Diego.
- Turn your living room into a Marvel vs. DC battleground with a brand-new OLED TV and surround sound.
- Build your own “Roommate Agreement” framed art wall, just because.
If you snag one of the $500 daily prizes:
- Knock out a car payment.
- Go big on back-to-school shopping.
- Upgrade your gaming setup — think PS5, Xbox, or a VR headset.
And for Runner-Up winners:
- Take your bestie or boo to SUPERMAN — on the house.
- Pair it with dinner and make it a full date night (hello, soft pretzels and slushies).
- Or give the tickets away and win "Best Friend Ever" status.
Basically, every level of prize has “treat yourself” energy written all over it.
