ONE ON ONE
In April there were
20 Round 1 winners
for a total of $360.
In May there were
21 Round 1 winners
for a total of $378.
Round 2 of One on One started in June.

for a total of $285.
In May there were
9 Round 1 winners,
2 Round 2 winners and

for a total of $230.
Total prize money paid in Win A Million is now $17,005.
So far 45 winning players have reached the 10-prize limit in
Win A Million, and have retired from the contest.
With 45 of the top players gone, there is a great opportunity
for everyone else.
This is a golden chance to get your 10 prizes.
Don't miss out.
No matter when they start, all the players in the final month
of Win A Million are guaranteed to win 10 prizes.
TOURNAMENT of RICHES
In April there were 10 Round 1 winners
and one Round 2 winner
for a total of $515.
In May there were 10 Round 1 winners
for a total of $326.
Total prize money paid in the Tournament of Riches now stands
at $56,971.
Kathleen Conaway is the 23rd player to reach $1000 in winnings
and retire from the tournament.
Kathleen had dropped out of the contest for health reasons, and I am
delighted she was able to resume playing and win her guaranteed $1000.
If you have not yet played the Tournament of Riches, or
if you dropped out before you received your guaranteed $1000,
you should act quickly, while the tournament is still running
and open to new and returning players.
INNER CIRCLE
One winner in the Mult1 contest won $108.00.
Total prize money paid in the Inner Circle series now
stands at $17,558.
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.
The Merriam-Webster company has issued a new dictionary.
Once the stocks of the old dictionary have sold out in the stores,
you will not be able to obtain them.
You will need to have the Contest Center Official Word List
in order to compete in Inner Circle and any other contests
that used to require the dictionary.
HOW TO WIN
The How To Win booklet is still available for only $6, which
includes postage and handling (higher overseas).
It is full of valuable tips on how to win the Contest Center tournaments
such as One on One, Win A Million and Tournament of Riches.
Even experienced players will find techniques to improve their scores.
