KEEN recyclers in Wangaratta are in with the chance to win a million – a million cents that is – as the prize of a recycling competition from Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme (CDS Vic).

The Win A Million! Cents competition offers five lucky recyclers across the state a $10,000 cash prize each for returning their empty drink containers through the scheme.

Running until 15 June 2025, the competition automatically rewards customers with one entry for every 50 eligible containers they return in a single transaction – regardless of whether they keep the refund amount or donate it to one of the registered donation partners.

One of the five winners will score a bonus $10,000 to donate to a registered CDS Vic charity, school, or community group of their choice.

Start collecting your eligible drink containers for your chance to win One Million Cents.

The competition is open to Victorian residents only.

Entry details, terms and conditions, and the entry form is available at winamillioncents.com.au.
