Check dates, entry methods, and age limits for three St. Petersburg-area sweepstakes open in fall 2026.
St. Petersburg, FL residents have three current sweepstakes options for fall 2026: Valpak Free Ride, Publix Customer Voice Survey, and Florida Lottery Social Media Giveaways. Each offers a chance to win with its own age, entry-method, and date limits.
No purchase is necessary for the Valpak and Publix options described here. That means you can enter without buying, which is different from receiving something free or assured.

Valpak Free Ride Sweepstakes
Valpak Direct Marketing Systems is running its Free Ride Sweepstakes from Sept. 28 to Nov. 6, 2026.
The prize is a new car valued at $40,625, open to U.S. residents age 18 and older with no purchase necessary, according to the Valpak Free Ride page. Valpak lists its sponsor address as 1 Valpak Avenue North, St.
Petersburg, FL 33716. That local headquarters makes entry simple for nearby residents to review and submit before the November deadline.
Publix Customer Voice Survey Sweepstakes
Publix offers entry to its Customer Voice Survey Sweepstakes by completing the satisfaction survey or by mail. Entry is limited to people above the age of majority, with no purchase necessary, according to the Publix satisfaction survey page. Publix publishes separate rules and winners-list PDFs for that sweepstakes.
Entries move through its Bellomy survey administrator, so entrants should follow the method, deadline, and mailing instructions shown there.
Florida Lottery Social Media Giveaways
The Florida Lottery lists Social Media Giveaways as a current promotion with exclusive monthly giveaways on Instagram and Facebook. Dates vary by giveaway, according to the Florida Lottery promotions index. The agency also maintains a giveaways page with promotion guidelines.
It warns users to engage only with verified Florida Lottery accounts and to avoid links posted in comments.
What St. Petersburg Entrants Should Check First
Florida law regulates for-profit game promotions connected to consumer-product sales when chance and prize are present. The law requires removal of consideration through no-purchase entry, as described in the Florida game-promotion statute. Date limits matter because lottery extras can be time-bound.
The PICK and Cash Pop Bonus Play entry period ended Sept. 20, 2026, so check current dates and retailer-only purchase rules before planning an entry.
- Confirm you meet the age rule for each drawing.
- Use only the listed entry channel: online form, survey, mail, or named social account.
- Save the end date and any purchase, location, or account limits beside it.
