What the Lowe’s 2025/2026 Customer Satisfaction Monthly $500 Survey Sweepstakes Is
Each calendar month during the promotion opens a new entry window and a separate random drawing. This structure gives participants fresh chances every month and keeps the rules simple and transparent.
Legitimate operation, sponsor, administrator, and format
“This is a legitimate operation sweepstakes,” run by Lowe’s Companies, Inc. and administered by Cohen‑Friedberg Associates LLC.
The sponsor administrator pair manage entry periods, eligibility checks, and the monthly drawings. Entry methods are clear: complete the customer survey at lowes.com/survey within seven days of your receipt, or mail a completed 4" x 5" card to P.O. Box 368, Falmouth, MA 02556‑0368 USA.
Random drawing overview and monthly cadence
The operation sweepstakes draws five $500 check winners each month from eligible entries received during that period. Entries do not carry over—each month is a standalone chance.
- One entry per person per month when the survey or mail card is correctly submitted.
- The official rules explain responsibilities, verification steps, and prize claim requirements.
- Consistent participation across months increases your number of opportunities.
"Follow the rules and submit accurately each month for the best chance."
For clear next steps, keep your purchase receipt, follow the entry process, and retain any confirmation information if provided.
Who Is Eligible and Who Is Not
Entry is limited to persons who meet basic residency and age criteria and who do not have disqualifying ties to the sponsor or administrator. This keeps the sweepstakes fair and transparent for all participants.
Age, residency, and prohibited law considerations
You must be a legal resident of the United States or Washington, D.C., and at least 18 years old and the age of majority in your state at the time you enter. The program is void where prohibited by law, so check local restrictions before submitting an entry.
Employees, immediate family, and household restrictions
Individuals who, within six months before the Start Date, were employees, consultants, independent contractors, or interns of the Sponsor or Administrator are not eligible. Current and recent employees cannot participate.
- Immediate family members — parents, step‑parents, legal guardians, children, step‑children, siblings, step‑siblings, spouses — are excluded if tied to ineligible workers.
- Household members who share the same residence at least three months a year are also ineligible.
“The official rules spell out these restrictions to prevent conflicts and protect the integrity of the drawing.”
If you meet the residency and age requirements and lack any disqualifying employment or household ties, you may submit an entry. Provide truthful information and keep documents handy in case the Administrator requests verification of your status.
Official Rules You Must Know Before You Enter
Before you enter, review the official rules so your submission is valid and counted.
Clear limits and simple steps protect your eligibility. Follow the process precisely and provide all requested information. Online entries must be submitted within seven days of the receipt date.
Key limits and disqualification risks
- One entry per month per person or email, regardless of method. Exceeding this limit can cause result disqualification.
- Only one prize per person or household is allowed for the entire Sweepstakes Period.
- All entries received become the Sponsor's property; incomplete or unreadable submissions will not be considered.
- Automated or scripted entries are prohibited; the Sponsor may disqualify violators at its sole discretion.
- You must supply accurate contact information; if email ownership is disputed, the account owner as of the Start Date is deemed the entrant.

How to Enter Online via lowes.com/survey
Visit the official survey page and have your receipt ready before you begin the entry process. Go directly to http://www.lowes.com/survey and confirm the page shows the customer satisfaction form.
Finding the survey address and accessing the form
Open the URL and check that the form requests purchase details. If the site looks different, refresh and confirm the domain before entering any personal data.
Using your receipt: store number, date, time, and transaction info
Locate the store number, visit date and time, and transaction information on your Lowe store receipt. Input each field exactly as printed; transposed digits or wrong time may invalidate your submission.
Seven-day window after receipt date: timing your submission
Timing matters. Complete the survey within seven days of the receipt date so your entry counts for the correct entry period. If your purchase is near an entry window end date, submit immediately.
- Complete all questions honestly and fully.
- Keep a screenshot or note of any on-screen confirmation.
- Enter only once per month per person or email.
- If technical issues occur, use the mail-in option that month.
"One online survey completion = one entry for the monthly drawing."
| Requirement | What to Enter | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Receipt detail | Store number, date, time, transaction ID | Type exactly as printed |
| Timing | Within seven days of receipt date | Submit promptly near window end |
| Confirmation | On-screen message or screenshot | Save for verification |
How to Enter by Mail Without a Purchase
If you prefer mail instead of an online survey, a simple hand‑printed card is enough for a valid entry.
Prepare a 4" x 5" card and hand print each requested item legibly. Include your full name, residential street address (no P.O. Boxes), city, state, ZIP, age, daytime phone number, and email if available.
Mailing address and deadlines
Place the card in an envelope and mail it to:
Lowe’s 2025-26 Customer Satisfaction $500 Monthly Survey Sweepstakes, P.O. Box 368, Falmouth, MA 02556‑0368 USA
Mail-in entries must be postmarked and received by the dates listed for the current entry period. Mail several days early to avoid postal delays.
Avoid unreadable or incomplete entries
- Use dark ink and block letters so numbers and dates read clearly.
- Confirm the ZIP+4 and avoid postage‑due or damaged mail.
- Keep a photo of the card and note the mailing date for your records.
- Remember the one-per-month limit; do not send multiple cards that month.
How to Win Lowe’s Sweepstakes in 2025
Maximize each monthly chance with a simple, rule‑focused entry plan. Treat every entry period as a separate opportunity and follow the official rules closely.
Maximizing eligible entries within the one‑per‑month limit
Enter every entry period, but never more than once per month. Spreading submissions across all months increases total chances at the five $500 prizes drawn each month.
Receipt handling, accuracy, and avoiding automation or scripts
If you enter online, photograph your receipt immediately and note the store number, date, and time. Type those details exactly when completing the survey. Avoid automation, scripts, or macros; the official rules permit disqualification for automated entries.
Timing entries to align with drawing schedules
Submit within seven days of the receipt date so your entry counts for the intended drawing. For mail‑in entries, mail early enough to meet postmark deadlines. Entries do not carry forward, so missing a period means losing that month’s chance.
- Checklist: method used, submission date, and confirmation saved.
- Double‑check contact details each month to ensure notification delivery.
- Prepare mail cards in advance when needed to meet postmark deadlines.
"Follow the rules, submit accurately, and enter consistently for the best results."
Common Mistakes That Lead to Disqualification
Many entrants lose eligibility because they overlook simple entry limits and deadlines. Read the official rules and check your submission before sending.
Exceeding entry limits, missing deadlines, or unreadable submissions
Submitting more than one entry per month per person or email results in disqualification under the rules. The sponsor may enforce this at its sole discretion.
Online entries must be completed within seven days of your receipt date. Missing that window or the postmark deadline for mail-ins will exclude your entry for that period.
Automated entries and misuse of email addresses
Automated submissions, scripts, or macros violate policy and will be removed. Handwritten mail cards that are illegible or missing fields can also be tossed, even if mailed on time.
- Do not send multiple entries in one month; stick to one accurate submission.
- Keep clear contact details; the rightful email owner as of the Start Date is deemed the entrant in disputes.
- Save proof of submission and the receipt or mailing date for later verification.
"Follow the rules, submit a single clean entry each month, and keep proof of how and when you entered."
Prize Details, Payment, and Taxes
Prize payment, tax handling, and lost-check policies shape what winners should expect.
$500 checks and monthly awards
Each month, five prizes are awarded. Each prize is a $500 check issued to the selected prize winner. Checks are mailed; allow time for delivery.
Limit: one prize per person or household
You may receive only one prize during the entire Sweepstakes Period per person or household. This rule stands even if you enter multiple months.
Taxes, lost checks, and substitutions
Winners are responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes associated with any prize. Plan for reporting and any paperwork your tax or business records require.
Once a check is issued and delivered, it will not be replaced if lost or stolen. The Sponsor may, at its discretion, substitute a prize of equal or greater value if needed.
"Deposit the check promptly and keep records to avoid issues and assist with tax or business filings."
- Avoid actions that could be viewed as misuse of prize—follow all instructions and deposit responsibly.
- Review your mailing address carefully so the check can be delivered without delay.
- Keep copies of confirmation and any correspondence if you become a prize winner.
| Item | Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly awards | Five winners; $500 each | Expect a mailed check |
| Prize limit | One per person/household | Track entries across months |
| Tax responsibility | Federal, state, local | Report per laws; consult a tax advisor |
| Lost/stolen checks | No replacement after delivery | Safeguard and deposit promptly |
Winner Selection, Notification, and Required Forms
Winners are chosen by an independent administrator using a blind drawing from valid entries for each month. This process ensures fairness and that only eligible entries participate in the random drawing.
Selection and contact
The Administrator, Cohen‑Friedberg Associates, conducts the random drawing for each entry period. If selected as a potential prize winner, you will be contacted by phone, email, and/or overnight mail using the details you provided.
Response window and required paperwork
You must respond within seven business days of the notification attempt. Failure to reply in that window may result in forfeiture and an alternate selection.
Selected entrants must sign and return an affidavit of eligibility, plus a liability publicity release and any related tax forms. The publicity release permits the Sponsor to use your name, likeness, city, and other permitted details under applicable law.
"Prepare contact details and signed documents quickly; delays are a common cause of forfeiture."
| Step | What Happens | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Random selection | The administrator draws from the eligible entries | Await notification |
| Notification | Phone, email, or overnight mail | Respond within seven business days |
| Verification | Affidavit and publicity release | Sign and return promptly |
Keep your phone and email available around drawing dates and retain copies of all signed documents. The Sponsor and Administrator’s decisions are final and legally binding on all matters related to the sweepstakes.
Your Odds of Winning and Smart Entry Strategy
Your chance of being selected depends largely on how many eligible entries are recorded for a given drawing. Each entry period is separate, and entries received during one window do not carry forward.
How entries received affect odds
Odds in any month reflect the volume of eligible entries submitted during that entry period.
Lower entry volume can improve your chance, but five winners are chosen each month regardless of totals.
Spreading entries across months for more opportunities
Treat each month as a fresh opportunity. Enter consistently across multiple entry periods to multiply your total chances without breaking the one-entry limit.
- Aim for early, accurate submissions to avoid last-minute mistakes.
- Use mail-in if online timing is tight; both methods yield one valid entry when done correctly.
- Keep contact information stable so verification after a drawing is simple.
"Persistence and clear, consistent information are the most practical advantages in this monthly sweepstakes."
| Factor | Effect | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Entry volume | Changes the monthly odds | Enter when possible, each period |
| Submission accuracy | Prevents disqualification | Double-check details before sending |
| Method | Online or mail both count | Choose based on timing and comfort |
