Jackson Hewitt Double Your Refund Sweepstakes
PO Box 16470
Rochester, NY 14616
Weekly entry limit: 2 entries per person per weekly period (Periods 1–15), regardless of method
Grand Prize: Refund-match check up to $10,000 (minimum $1,500), 32 winners total (2 winners per Weekly Period 1–15 and 2 winners in the Additional Drawing)

Runner Up Prize: $200 check, 320 winners total (20 winners per Weekly Period 1–15 and 20 winners in the Additional Drawing)

This is one of those promos where the prize count is actually big, and it’s broken into weekly periods so you’re not just dumped into one massive end-of-campaign drawing. If you’re filing anyway, getting into an early week also boosts your entries for the Additional Drawing. It’s a solid strategy play for people who like promos with lots of winners and clear timing.
