Q. How do I play?
A. Playing is simple. Enter the serial number of your one-dollar bill into the search box on the home page. If your serial number matches any of the serial numbers in our database you're a winner! More detailed instructions are listed on the homepage. For all of the details view our official rules.

Q. What types of bucks can I use to play?
A. Currently all of the serial numbers are from U.S. one-dollar bills. You can enter serial numbers from other denominations, but you’re not going to win.

Q. Do I have to send you my dollar bill to play?
A. No. Do NOT send us any bills, UNLESS you are a winner. Winners are required to send in their dollar bill for verification. All bill received will be promptly returned to the sender, providing the bill is sent with a self addressed return envelope along with the proper postage.

Q. When will the contest end?
A. The contest ends when somebody wins. The longer the contest runs, the larger the prize and the greater the chances of winning. The contest will restart once a winner is verified.

Q. Where do you get the serial numbers from?
A. All of the winning serial numbers are automatically generated using the same algorithm the government uses to generate serials for one-dollar bills.

Q. How often do you add new winning serial numbers?
A. New serial numbers are added to the winning list every minute. That means that you have a greater change to win with every passing minute. The prize is awarded to the first person to win.
