The Verge launches $800 tech sweepstakes ahead of Amazon Prime Day
The contest, running from 4 June to 30 June 2026, requires entrants to subscribe to the Verge Shopping newsletter as part of the entry process.
The Verge has initiated a sweepstakes offering a Nomatic Travel Pack containing technology valued at more than $800. The promotion is designed to coincide with Amazon’s Prime Day, which is scheduled to take place from 23 June to 26 June 2026. The contest opens at 10:00am ET on 4 June 2026 and closes at 10:00am ET on 30 June 2026.
Vox Media, the parent company of The Verge, is sponsoring the giveaway from its headquarters in Washington DC. The publication stated that the inventory closet in its New York City office is overflowing with gadgets from ongoing product testing. To restore order, the company is distributing items from this stock to a single winner selected at random.
Eligibility for the sweepstakes is restricted to legal residents of the 50 US states and Washington DC who have reached the age of majority. Entrants must also have access to the internet and a valid email address. The odds of winning are determined by the total number of eligible entries received.
To enter, participants must complete a form embedded via Viralsweep. This action automatically subscribes entrants to The Verge Shopping newsletter, which features deals, buying guides, and reviews. The newsletter content is positioned as particularly relevant given the upcoming Prime Day sales period.
The winner will be chosen after the contest closes on 30 June 2026 and will be notified via email. The specific contents of the grab bag are not itemised in the source material, with only the total value of over $800 confirmed. The promotion is governed by official rules and is void where prohibited by law.
