Cycle 1 Listing
This listing is posted under the Official Rules before Cycle 1 opens and forms part of the Official Rules for Cycle 1. No entries are accepted before the cycle opens.
Cycle 1 opens November 1, 2026 at 12:00 AM CDT and closes January 29, 2027 at 11:59 PM CST. Online entries must be submitted, and mail-in requests received, while the cycle is open and before its posted end date and time.
Entry caps (per official entrant, per cycle)
- Lucky Learner: up to 1 entry per official entrant for this cycle, by all entry methods combined.
- Study Buddy: up to 10 entries per official entrant for this cycle, by all entry methods combined.
Study Buddy referral allocation: 1 entry for each referred family whose adult creates a Koydo account during the cycle through the official entrant’s personal referral link, up to 10 entries for this cycle. No purchase or subscription is required of either family.
Mail-in alternate method of entry (AMOE; no entry fee; entrant pays postage): Each official entrant may submit one request per cycle. One valid mail-in request receives the per-category maximum in each random-draw category (Lucky Learner, Study Buddy) — the same maximum available through all other entry methods combined. Mail-in and online entries count toward the same cap and are never added together beyond it.
Prizes and approximate retail value (ARV)
- Apple iPad (A16, 128GB, Wi‑Fi): one prize is offered in each category (2 total prizes offered this cycle), ordered by the Sponsor from Apple’s US online store for delivery to the winner’s eligible US street address. See the Official Rules if Apple refuses or cancels an order. ARV: $449 each.
- Monthly Spark: Ordinarily, in each calendar month (November 2026, December 2026, January 2027) during an open cycle for which a positive prize amount is posted, one prize consisting of Apple Gift Card(s) totaling that amount (up to $75) is drawn at random after that month from its eligible Lucky Learner and Study Buddy entries and mail-in requests. If $0 is posted, no Monthly Spark prize or drawing is offered for that month. For November 2026, instead of the ordinary one-winner monthly drawing, the Monthly Spark drawing awards up to three $25 Apple Gift Card prizes to up to three distinct winners, drawn from eligible entries earned during November 1–7 and valid monthly mail-in requests postmarked November 1–7. If fewer than three distinct eligible entrants are available, prizes are awarded to as many distinct eligible entrants as possible, one prize per person; remaining prizes are not awarded. The amount may be lower in other months to stay within the calendar-year prize cap and is posted before that month opens. Gift cards are delivered electronically. See the Official Rules if Apple refuses or cancels an order. Up to 11 entries per official entrant per month across all methods; one valid monthly mail-in request provides 11 entries and replaces, rather than adds to, that entrant’s online entries in the Monthly Spark drawing (those online entries still count in the iPad draws).
- Launch-week bonus for November 2026: instead of the ordinary one-winner monthly drawing, up to three distinct winners each receive one $25 Apple Gift Card (up to $75 total), drawn at random from eligible entries earned, and monthly mail-in requests postmarked, from November 1, 2026 through November 7, 2026. If fewer than three distinct eligible entrants are available, prizes are awarded to as many as possible, one per person; remaining prizes are not awarded.
Total ARV of cycle prizes at the values currently posted: $1,123. Monthly Spark values are posted before each calendar month opens and may be lower than $75 to stay within the annual cap.
Calendar-year prize cap: the total ARV of all prizes awarded in a calendar year, counted by award date, will not exceed $4,500. Cycle prizes are awarded, and count, in the year the cycle closes. Total ARV posted for 2026 so far, including this listing: $150.
