The sweepstakes is open only to legal residents of the 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. Winners are chosen at random from eligible entries. The Verge noted that subscriber-exclusive contests are not permitted under the rules.
Each package contains items previously featured in the Today I’m Toying With video series, such as robot toys, USB-C chargers, and gaming accessories. The exact contents of each box will not be disclosed in advance. Official rules and entry links are posted on The Verge website.
