How it works
Giving is simple. Just donate to Child’s Play with a credit card or PayPal, or donate to the EFF using PayPal, a credit card, or cryptocurrency. You can also back Child’s Play by visiting this Ars Technica campaign page or selecting an item from a specific hospital’s Amazon wish list on its donation page. Give as much or as little as you like—every contribution counts.
After donating, register your sweepstakes entry. Save a digital copy of your receipt (forwarded email, screenshot, or a copied text) and email it to [email protected] along with your name, mailing address, daytime phone number, and email address by 11:59 pm ET Friday, January 2, 2026. One entry per person; each person may win no more than one prize. US residents only. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. See Official Rules for full details, including how to enter without making a donation. Also see the Ars Technica privacy policy (https://www.condenast.com/privacy-policy).
Winners will be contacted and asked to pick their prize by January 31, 2026 (prize selection will follow the order in which winners are drawn). Good luck!
