WIN A MILLION
       So far 30 players have won 10 prizes in Win A Million. Those winning players have left, and the other players moved 30 places ahead in the standings.

       Already 33 players have won 10 prizes in Win A Million. Those winning players have retired, and the other players moved 33 places ahead in the standings.

       In February there were 19 Round 1 winners, 4 Round 2 winners and 3 Round 3 winners for a total of $535. In March there were 18 Round 1 winners, 4 Round 2 winners, 3 Round 3 winners and 1 Round 4 winner for a total of $585. Total prize money paid in Win A Million is now $14,475. The remaining winners have chosen to continue to higher rounds.

       This is a smart time for new players to start Win A Million because so many 10-time winners have left the contest.


TOURNAMENT of RICHES

       In February there were 11 Round 1 winners for a total of $375. In March there were 13 Round 1 winners for a total of $445. Total prize money paid in the Tournament of Riches now stands at $51,215.

       If you have not yet played the Tournament of Riches, you should get in, and cash in, while the tournament is still running and open to new players.


TRY AGAIN
       In March there were 3 Round 1 winners, and 3 Round 2 winners. The 3 Round 1 winners receive $24.00 each and also move ahead to Round 2. The 3 Round 2 winners receive $59.34 each and will move ahead to Round 3.

       In Try Again you do not risk your prize when you go ahead to the next round.


INNER CIRCLE
       One winner in the Lim200 contest won $364. Three winners of the Same Edges contest received $112.00 each. Total prize money paid in the Inner Circle series now stands at $12,068.


OFFICIAL WORD LIST
       The Contest Center's Official Word List is still available for only $12, including postage and handling (higher outside the U.S.). For many Inner Circle contests you can save hours of time by using the Word List instead of the dictionary. There is no uncertainty about which words are valid. The Word List contains every valid word, and no invalid words, all arranged by word length and listed alphabetically in large clear type.


HOW TO WIN
       The How To Win booklet is still available for only $6, which includes postage and handling. It is full of valuable tips on how to win the Contest Center tournaments Win A Million and Tournament of Riches. Even experienced players will find techniques to improve their scores. There are 10 copies left.
