You Could Win $511 for Riding Transit

When choosing how to get around – commuting, running errands, or going out – cost can be a factor. But now, one of your transportation options gives you chances to win money!

With Big Win on Transit, for every day you take transit Monday through Sunday, you earn an entry in that week’s drawing for $511. So, the more often you choose transit, the more likely you are to win. If you’re 18+ and live or work in Contra Costa County, you’re eligible to participate.

How to Participate

Putting yourself in the running is easy. First, create your Big Win on Transit account. After that, log your week’s trips (Monday-Sunday) by Sunday at midnight. During the trip-logging process, you’ll upload proof of your rides – a screenshot of a Clipper card transaction showing at least one ride during that week, or a photo of your digital ticket or paper bus pass.

You can log your trips daily or enter them all at once, as long as you get them in by the deadline. Weekly drawings for $511 take place every Monday.
