Prudential Rock the Championship Instant Win Game: Win Tickets

Prudential's Rock the Championship sweepstakes has 21 prizes: one grand prize of two tickets to the College Football Playoff National Championship game in Las Vegas on 01/25/2027, plus a $1,000 check, and 20 instant win Prudential Prize Packs. One submission gets you one grand prize entry and one instant win play. The form asks for your name, email address and phone number, and it carries a marketing email opt-in.

What the entry form collects

The rules say you visit the website during the Sweepstakes Period, answer the trivia question, and provide your name, email address and phone number. On the sponsor page it is a true or false item: coaches stick to the same playbook, regardless of the team they are playing against. A checkbox confirms that you have read and agree to the Official Rules and Privacy Policy.

The sponsor page says that if you opt in to email marketing, you agree to receive further marketing emails from the Sponsor. The rules add that you can opt out at any time by clicking unsubscribe in any of those emails. By participating, you also agree to the Sponsor's collection and usage of your personal information under its privacy policy.

The limit is one entry per person or email address. Only the first complete entry and play from a participant counts. Later attempts, including ones with an alternate email address, will be disqualified. Delivery of prizes requires a street address, so P.O. Boxes do not work.

How the instant wins are decided

Before launch, the Sweepstakes Administrator generates 20 random, computer-generated winning dates and times, one for each Instant Win Prize. If you are the first eligible participant to play at or after one of those times, you get an on-screen and email notification that you are a potential winner. Non-winners are also notified on screen.

The rules say the instant win odds depend on the random winning times, the number of participants, and the time and order an entry is submitted. The website's database clock is the official timekeeper.

The grand prize is a separate random drawing from all eligible entries on or about 01/06/2027. Its odds depend on the number of eligible entries received for the drawing.

Tickets, the $1,000 check and prize packs

The grand prize includes two tickets to the game in Las Vegas, NV on 01/25/2027. The sponsor page places it at Allegiant Stadium. The rules say the $1,000 comes as a check the winner may use for travel and accommodations. The sponsor page calls it money for travel and entertainment. Follow the rules here. The grand prize ARV is $3,200.

Each Instant Win Prize is a Prudential Prize Pack with contents to be determined by Sponsor, ARV $200 each. The rules put the combined ARV of all 21 prizes at $7,200. Prizes are non-transferable, with no substitutions or cash redemptions, and lost or stolen tickets will not be replaced.

The rules say winners of a prize with a value of $2,000 or more will be issued an IRS Form 1099-MISC. All taxes and unspecified expenses are the winner's responsibility.

Two start dates, and the rules settle it

The sponsor page has a dates box that lists the start as 11/06/2026 at 12:00 AM US/Eastern and the end as 01/03/2027 at 12:00 AM US/Eastern. The rules set the Sweepstakes Period from 12:00:00 AM ET on 11/01/2026 to 11:59:59 PM ET on 01/02/2027. The sponsor page's own legal text gives the same dates as the rules, so go by those.

The sponsor address differs too. The sponsor page lists 751 Broad Street, Newark. The rules give Prudential Financial, Inc. an office at 655 Broad St, Newark NJ.

Who can enter and what happens after a win

Entry is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia who are at least 18 and the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is greater. You must also be located there when you enter. Employees of the Sponsor and of US Sweepstakes & Fulfillment Co., plus their immediate families and household members, cannot enter.

The grand prize winner is notified by email and/or phone on or about 01/06/2027. Within 48 hours, the winner must sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability, plus a Publicity Release where legal and an IRS W-9 Form. Instant win winners are notified within 2 weeks and must confirm a mailing address within 48 hours by return email. Their prizes are sent within 4 to 6 weeks of verification. Noncompliance means disqualification and an alternate winner. Tickets go to the winner before the event or via will call.

For the winners list, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope by 02/28/2027 to the address in the rules.
