What do we categorize as a Big Prize?  Simple.  If any prize for a contest or sweepstakes falls into one of the following categories, it qualifies as a Big Prize:

• Cash amount greater than $5000
• Prize with an ARV greater than $10,000
• Something really unique that usually isn’t featured as a prize, such as a dream job.
