Shopping at Lowe’s is always a great way to get your home projects started—but did you know your purchase could also give you the chance to win a $500 gift card? That’s right! When you take part in the Lowe’s Customer Satisfaction Survey at lowes.com/survey, you can enter a monthly sweepstakes to win big.

But before you jump in, it’s important to understand the official rules. Not everyone is eligible, and there are certain steps you must follow to make sure your entry counts.

This article breaks down the sweepstakes rules in simple terms so you can find out if you qualify and how to increase your chances of entering successfully.

What Is the Lowe’s Survey Sweepstakes?
The Lowe’s Survey Sweepstakes is a monthly drawing open to customers who complete the Lowe’s feedback survey. It’s part of the company’s effort to listen to its shoppers and improve customer service.

By answering a few short questions about your shopping experience, you can enter for a chance to win one of five $500 Lowe’s gift cards awarded each month.

You don’t need to buy anything extra to win. Just a valid receipt and a few minutes of your time are all it takes.

Who Can Enter the Sweepstakes?
To be eligible to enter the sweepstakes, you must meet the following requirements:

You must be a legal resident of the United States, Washington D.C., or copyright (excluding Quebec).

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your state or province, if higher).

You must not be an employee of Lowe’s or any of its related companies, advertising agencies, or affiliates. Immediate family members of such employees are also not eligible.

You must complete the survey within the time limit, which is usually within 7 to 10 days of your purchase date.

If you don’t meet these conditions, you won’t be able to enter or win a prize.

How to Enter with a Purchase
The most common way to enter the sweepstakes is by completing the Lowe’s Customer Satisfaction Survey online.

Here’s how it works:

Make a purchase at a Lowe’s store and keep your receipt.

Go to www.lowes.com/survey.

Enter the 12-digit survey code from your receipt.

Answer the survey questions honestly.

At the end of the survey, provide your contact details (name, email, and phone number) to enter the sweepstakes.

Your entry will be automatically submitted once you complete the survey.

How to Enter Without Making a Purchase
Don’t have a receipt? You can still enter the sweepstakes by mail—no purchase needed.

To enter by mail, do the following:

Take a 3" x 5" postcard or card.

Handwrite your full name, address, email, and phone number.

Mail it to the official sweepstakes address provided in the official rules (which are linked on the survey page or available on Lowe’s website).

Make sure your handwriting is clear and that the card is mailed within the entry period. Each postcard counts as one entry.

This method ensures that everyone has a fair chance to win, whether or not they’ve recently shopped at Lowe’s.

Entry Limits and Frequency
You can enter the sweepstakes once per receipt, meaning each new receipt gives you one new entry opportunity. If you shop at Lowe’s often, keep those receipts handy and take the survey each time for more chances to win.

However, there is a limit to how many entries you can submit within a certain period, so it’s important to check the official rules for that month.

How Winners Are Chosen
Each month, five winners are selected in a random drawing from all the eligible entries received during that month’s entry period. If you’re one of the lucky winners, you’ll be contacted by phone or email using the details you provided.

You may be asked to complete a few verification steps before receiving your prize. If you don’t respond in time, an alternate winner may be selected.

There are no skill-based questions or requirements—every entry has an equal chance of winning.

How to Claim Your Prize
If you’re notified that you’ve won, Lowe’s will give you instructions on how to claim your prize. Typically, you’ll be sent a $500 Lowe’s gift card, either electronically or by mail.

There are no hidden fees, and you don’t have to pay anything to receive your reward. Just be sure to respond to any winner notification promptly.

Be Careful of Scams
Scammers sometimes send fake messages claiming you’ve won a Lowe’s prize—even if you haven’t entered. To stay safe:

Only enter through www.lowes.com/survey or by mail.

Never pay money to claim a prize.

Don’t share your bank information or Social Security number.

Always check the sender’s email address if you receive a “winner” notification.

If you’re ever unsure, you can contact Lowe’s customer service or check the official sweepstakes rules.

Final Thoughts
The Lowe’s Survey Sweepstakes is a fun and easy way to share your opinion and possibly win a generous prize. As long as you meet the eligibility rules and follow the entry steps, you’re in the running.

So next time you shop at Lowe’s, don’t throw away your receipt. Take a few minutes to visit www.lowes.com/survey, complete the survey, and enter to win. Who knows? You could be the next lucky customer walking away with a $500 gift card in hand.
