Official Rules and Privacy Notice

Weekly Window

The next weekly window opens soon

  • AMOE is one free online entry per person per weekly entry window.
  • Each valid AMOE entry is eligible for that week's drawing and the final season drawing.
  • In-store entry is one base entry per person per participating business per season.

How it works

Step 1

Visit a participating business or use the free online entry option

Scan a partner QR code in-store for a prefilled business entry form, or use the free weekly AMOE if you are not entering through a mission stop.

Step 2

Complete the mission or weekly free entry form

In-store entries require mission evidence. AMOE requires only your name, email, and Iowa residency confirmation for the current weekly window.

Step 3

Submit your entry for a chance to win

Valid entries are reviewed for the current weekly drawing and the final season drawing. Bonus boosts remain in-store only.

In-Store Entry

Scan the partner QR code or use a business-specific link

Every participating stop has a prefilled entry form. Complete the mission shown for that business, then submit either a direct photo or a qualifying public social post.
