There’s nothing quite like hearing good news straight from the source.
And when it comes to our monthly $1,000 sweepstakes, nobody tells the story better than our amazing SDC Rewards members!
Every month, one lucky SDC Rewards member pockets a whopping $1,000—no strings attached. And these real-life wins are making a real difference in people’s lives.
Instead of me going on about why I think you’ll love SDC Rewards, let’s hear it from the stars of the show—our members themselves.
Here’s just a glimpse of what some of our lucky winners had to say (and how they spent their winnings):
Car servicing and ice cream… for the grandkids
Peace of mind
Replacing a problematic mobile
A 53rd wedding anniversary treat
An overseas trip to visit family
Month after month, we hear these incredible stories from members who never thought they'd win—and now find themselves with an extra $1,000 to put towards bills, travel, repairs, treats for loved ones, or simply a little breathing room in tough times.
When you sign up for SDC Rewards, you're not just entering for your chance to win $1,000 every month (although that's a pretty great reason!).

And the best part?

Here’s just a glimpse of what some of our lucky winners had to say (and how they spent their winnings):
Car servicing and ice cream… for the grandkids
Roof repairs, bills and Christmas‘I am so excited to hear this news!!! It couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time, as I am indeed in need of a little extra money, as we all are now. I can get my car serviced and pay a few bills without worrying, and best of all, treat my grandchildren to ice cream — so thank you again.’
Financial security‘What to do with $1,000: $500 towards maintenance repairs on my roof, $100 for my grandson who is at uni in Brisbane and living on campus, $300 towards bills and Christmas, $50 for my hubby, $50 to buy a couple of books.’
‘I am surprised and pleased that I have won the SDC prize. I am not usually lucky in these things. Thank you so much! I would like to increase my bank balance! You asked me about myself. I am a retired teacher with a balance problem, which I inherited from my Mum! I’m trying to do exercise to reduce the difficulty of walking. I do tutoring through the week. Once again, thank you for this fantastic prize!’
Peace of mind
‘I appreciate your kindness! I feel a bit more relieved having extra money in the bank! Sometimes I am concerned about the future. Please also thank the person who sent my prize money. I'm proud to be the first SDC $1,000 winner! Thanks once again!’
Replacing a problematic mobile
‘Thank you so much, it’s an amazing win, I really didn’t think it could be true but to find out it is, well I am beyond grateful and excited. I love looking for and receiving my SDC email each morning and reading the articles and laughing at the jokes. You are all a gift to each recipient of the newsletter with all the time and work that goes on behind the scenes. I am thrilled to think I can purchase a new mobile as I am having trouble with mine. I had been holding off but now you have made the purchase possible, wow!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.’
A 53rd wedding anniversary treat
‘What a wonderful surprise. I am going to Townsville next month to visit my children and grandchildren, so I can now spoil them a little, and treat my husband to a dinner out at a restaurant for our 53rd wedding anniversary. Thank you so much.’
An overseas trip to visit family
‘I will be making plans for my granddaughter who started uni this year in N.Z. and I am so pleased for her. If I have the funds, I will book a trip to visit her and enjoy her company for a weekend. Am so looking forward to doing so.’
