From Wren’s Navigation Notes
One Missing Beacon
Three maps lay on my desk. Each showed the same landing route. Only one showed that the last beacon had gone dark.
Gigi liked the oldest map’s neat lines. I liked them too. We still used the new one. A tidy route is not much help if it takes you to a missing beacon.
This guide is our state map for Win Bonanza. Check the date, find your state and read any extra limit. Then check your own details before you take part.
Find Your State
We exclude 15 states under our current Terms and Sweepstakes Rules. The table covers all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It describes Win Bonanza access, not a state’s approval of our service. [1] [2] [3]
“Available under our rules” means location is one part of the check. Age, residence, identity and the other requirements still apply. The list was checked September 21, 2026.

Florida Has an Extra Limit
Florida is available under our rules, with a special limit. A prize from one SC play has a maximum redemption value of 4,900 SC. An amount above that limit is not provided. [1]
That is a limit for one play. It is not a promise about what a game will return. Read the full SC rules before making a prize request.
Check Your Home and Where You Are Today
You must live in an allowed place and be physically in an allowed place when using our service. A trip does not remove the home address rule. An allowed home address does not remove the current location rule. [2] [3]
- You Travel to an Excluded State
-
Do not use the site there. Check the list before you leave home.
- You Live in an Excluded State
-
Visiting an allowed state does not, by itself, make you eligible.
- You Move to Another State
-
Ask support how to update your existing account. Keep your address correct and complete any checks requested. Do not open another account.
Wren’s Field Note
Date the Map
I once added check dates to a storm-shelter map. Someone said the dates made it look temporary.
It was temporary. Storms moved. Shelters closed. I wanted the next crew to know when to check again, not admire my penmanship.
A saved screenshot can help you remember what you read. It cannot tell you what changed after you saved it.
State Access Is the First Check
You must be at least 18, or the legal adult age that applies to you if it is higher. Use one account with your real details and complete the identity checks we request. The full requirements include other personal and account conditions. [1] [3]
Our eligibility guide explains those checks. Read it with this state table, rather than treating an available state as the whole answer.
No purchase is needed to enter or win. Free entry methods still have rules, including location requirements. Our no-purchase entry guide explains where to find them. [1]
Get Help With a Location Error
If you are in an allowed place and see a block, check the live rules first. Then follow our location help steps. Your internet provider may need to check the location tied to your connection. [4]
Do not hide your location with a VPN or use another person’s account. Those actions do not fix an eligibility issue. [2]
Contact Mission Control if you still need help. Send the error message, time, device and browser. Keep passwords and sign-in codes private.
When Should You Check Again?
Check before travel, after a move, when our rules change or when an unexpected block appears. We can change where our service is available. [2]
Use the live rules for a fresh decision. If two sources disagree, send support both links and the exact lines. If your question is about state law, ask a qualified lawyer.
I kept the old maps in the archive. For the next landing, we chose the route with a working beacon. Keep the story; update the directions.
