$63,398 in PRIZES PAID
in the Tournament of Riches

       The Tournament of Riches is now the world's oldest and richest continuous puzzle contest. Since Sept. 1998, there have been more than 1750 prizes won and over $63,000 in cash paid to winners. That is far more than any other puzzle contest, anywhere in the world, over the past 50 years.
       You can win up to $25,000 in the Tournament of Riches. This is a puzzle contest with UNLIMITED prize money, so that every player can win up to $25,000.
IT'S EASY TO WIN
       One out of every 6 players will be a winner each month. You don't need the top score to win. Some winners have scored 10, 12, even 14 points below the highest score. It is not just the top players who win. Everyone can win. Everyone will win if they stick with it.
       Round 1 winners can go ahead to try for $175 in Round 2. Round 2 winners can try for $1000 in Round 3. Round 3 winners can go for $5000 in Round 4. You can win several of each prize, up to a total of $25,000.
