You may recall that late last year, we highlighted a special 'Ultimate Giveaway' taking place on the Microsoft Rewards website where one lucky winner would become a millionaire. Well, they're doing the same thing this year too!
In fact, Microsoft Rewards has just announced the winner of last year's competition in the form of someone called "Ron. G" from the United States, while also announcing that the next competition will give away two million dollars in all - a $1 million grand prize along with 100 additional winners that will share the rest of the prize money.
As you can see from the image above, it says the new Microsoft Rewards competition for 2025 is "coming soon", but you can hit a little 'Notify Me button in order to get all the details in your inbox when it goes live in the near future.
Last time around, there were multiple ways to enter the 'Ultimate Giveaway' including an entry form along with as the ability to redeem Microsoft Rewards points for extra entries, and we're assuming it'll be the same situation this time too.
If you're keen, our suggestion is to head over to the Microsoft Rewards website and hit that 'Notify Me' button ASAP!

Xbox fans in select regions I guess. 😂
The real question is this:
What would you do with 1M (of your local currency)?
I’d probably just put into a retirement fund or something - I know, boring, right?
I might splurge a small amount - get an OLED monitor and a new MOBO that supports PCIe 5.0 and an Nvidia 5090, but the rest would all get put aside for a later time.
nah i’m good , rigged 👎
Much less than a million after taxes. Still potentially life changing money if you use it correctly though.
I entered last time. I'm still not a millionaire...
@GamingFan4Lyf I couldn't even imagine if I won that much money I'd probably just buy what I want do up our apartment and go to Italy for at least a month travel around with the family.
I'm sure the misses would have other plans with it though ha🤷
@GamingFan4Lyf Absolutely. My guess I'd look at how many years left to retirement. Then take out the sum of max I can contribute to 401k each year. Put that amount in every year so I'm maxed. And another large sum just drop into a CD and just let it roll over every year until retirement. And what little have left do some stuff around the house.
@GamingFan4Lyf assuming that is (rounding up) 600k after taxes I would pay off my debt, then lock 50% into high interest CDs, give my folks 20k each, stack my emergency fund to cover two years plus moving expenses, invest 10k into domestic bonds and foreign stocks. Funnel 100k into my 529 (education investment account), put 100k into a HYSA to save for a house down payment (I would keep adding to this while I look for a house and wait for the housing market to dip), get a new eye and maybe a new custom eye, new glasses and keep 20k as fun money (would spend half of that on new taiko and a second shamisen) and then slowly feed the CDs (I would have them stagger) onto the stock market so I can buy on dips but not shed/burn money since the stock market looks terrible right now. Not life changing but I could free up the leverage of my salary (plus correct the Millennial setbacks) and it would be life changing for my parents at this state.
