If you live in Canada, your radio dial could pay off big this month. Three Canadian radio stations are running radio contests with cash prizes right now — up to $50,000 — but all three are open to Canadian residents only, so check the eligibility rules for your province before you get excited.
Bounce Radio's Bounce to the Bank — $50,000 (Canada Only)
Bounce Radio is giving one listener a life-changing $50,000 cash grand prize, plus twenty-eight separate $500 prizes. To enter, keep your radio tuned in and listen for the keyword announced on air, then submit the official entry form on the station's website. This one is open to residents of Manitoba, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. The contest closes October 23, 2026.
94.5 Virgin Radio Vancouver's Cash It Or Stash It — Up to $47,000 (Canada Only)
Vancouver's 94.5 Virgin Radio is putting a twist on the cash giveaway: contestants picked to get on air are offered $250 on the spot — or they can “stash it,” giving up the $250 for a shot at a growing jackpot. The grand prize starts at $20,000 and climbs by $250 every time someone stashes, up to a maximum of $47,000. There are up to 108 of the $250 secondary prizes, with multiple chances to get on air every weekday. Open to legal residents of British Columbia age 19 and older. The contest runs through October 15, 2026, with the grand prize draw on the morning of October 16.
107.5 Dave Rocks' $25,000 Upgrade — $25,000 (Canada Only)
107.5 Dave Rocks is handing one winner $25,000 in cash to spend on whatever upgrade they want — a vacation, a vehicle, a home project, or just some financial breathing room. Listen for daily code words between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m., then submit the code word through the station's online entry form (one entry per code word). Open to legal residents of Ontario who are the age of majority. The contest closes October 11, 2026, with the draw on or about October 13.
A quick reminder: every one of these contests is limited to Canadian residents — most U.S. listeners will not be eligible. Always read the official rules on the station's website before entering, and never pay anyone who contacts you claiming you won a radio contest.
