How are TellTheBell winners chosen?

Winners are picked in a random drawing from all eligible entries received during each survey period. The drawing is run by an independent sweepstakes administrator, whose decisions are final. Whether you entered through the receipt survey or by mail, every valid entry has an equal chance.

How many winners are there, and what is the prize?

Under the official rules, each survey period has multiple grand prize winners, and recent prizes have been $500 e-gift cards. The exact number of winners and the prize for the current period are listed in the official rules PDF linked from tellthebell.com - check that document for the current period before counting on anything.

How will you know if you won?

Potential winners are notified by email, using the address on their entry form. The rules say winners must confirm their email within 48 hours, so use an address you actually check when you enter.

When does the prize arrive?

The rules state prizes are sent to the winner's email address within about 4-6 weeks after verification. If a winner cannot be verified or does not respond, an alternate can be drawn.

Can you enter more than once?

There is a limit of one entry per survey period per person, and one prize per person or household for the whole sweepstakes. Each receipt code works only once.

FAQ

Does buying more improve your chances?

No. The official rules say no purchase is necessary and a purchase does not improve your chances. There is also a free mail-in entry method described in the rules.

Who can enter the TellTheBell sweepstakes?

Legal residents of the 50 United States and D.C., age 18 or older. Taco Bell employees and their households are not eligible.
