Enter fall tech drawings in Lincoln and find free library computers, WiFi, and key deadlines.
Lincoln residents have four current tech options to use or enter this fall. The 2026 list covers Coca-Cola weekly drawings, T-Mobile weekly drawings, Samsung's school contest, and free library computers and WiFi. Some items are chances to win, while library access is free to use today.
Each program sets its own age, location, and date limits. Check those limits before you enter or visit.

What can you enter this week?
According to Coca-Cola US (2026 season page), weekly prize drops run through November 29, 2026. Two windows feature 65-inch LG Smart TVs, October 9-15 and November 20-29. US residents, including people in Lincoln, can enter those drawings.
Rules published by T-Mobile USA (Week #540 rules) set Week #540 for October 6-13, 2026. The drawing is open to legal residents of all 50 states ages 18 and older. Entry is available by internet, email, and phone, with no T-Mobile purchase required.
How can Lincoln schools compete?
According to Samsung US Newsroom (contest announcement), applications run September 30 to November 23, 2026 for the 17th Solve for Tomorrow US contest. Public-school teams in grades 6-12 compete for Samsung classroom technology prizes. Students enter with teachers, so a Lincoln school team can plan an entry before the deadline.
Early planning helps teams gather permission, pick a project idea, and meet the filing date.
Where is tech free to use today?
According to Lincoln City Libraries (computers and WiFi page), free public computers, free WiFi, and tech help are available across Lincoln branches. Services also include print, scan, and copy support. This is a direct benefit, not a drawing, so no win is needed to use it.
Bring a library card if you have one, and ask staff about time limits and printing rules. Use the visit for job applications, schoolwork, or entry forms for the drawings above.
How should you plan your next steps?
Match each option to your situation and date. Lincoln adults can enter the weekly drawings now, while teachers can prepare the Samsung entry. Keep drawings separate from free services in your plans.
A drawing gives a chance to win, while library access gives use without a drawing. Visit a Lincoln branch this week for computer time while you decide which drawing to enter.
- Confirm age, state residency, and deadline for the drawing you want.
- Use the sponsor page entry method before the closing date.
- For Samsung, coordinate with a teacher and student team early.
- For library use, check branch hours before visiting.
