WIN A MILLION
To date 39 players have won 10 prizes in Win A Million.
Those winning players have retired, and the other players have
moved 39 places ahead in the standings.
We are now seeing lots of new players on the winners lists.
In April there were
16 Round 1 winners,
4 Round 2 winners,
3 Round 3 winners and
1 Round 4 winner
for a total of $555.
In May there were
15 Round 1 winners,
4 Round 2 winners,
2 Round 3 winners and
1 Round 4 winner
for a total of $495.
Total prize money paid in Win A Million is now $14,765.
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
So far 21 players have reached $1,000 in prize money
and have retired from the contest.
All other players have moved 21 places ahead in the standings.

and 1 Round 2 winner
for a total of $605.
In May there were 12 Round 1 winners
and 1 Round 2 winner
for a total of $590.
Total prize money paid in the Tournament of Riches now stands
at $52,090.
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 May there were 6 Round 1 winners.
The 6 Round 1 winners receive $13.34 each and also move ahead to Round 2.
In Try Again you do not risk your prize when you go ahead
to the next round.
INNER CIRCLE
Three winners in the No Contact contest won $140.00 each.
One winner in the Max2 contest received $196.00.
Seven winners of the Summit contest
have won $96.00 each.
Total prize money paid in the Inner Circle series now

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.
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.
