You do not need a membership to enter a FIVE drop. Every entry, free or member, has equal odds per entry. Free entrants build a Cash Score exactly the same way members do: one point for every weekly period you enter in a row, plus two for every friend who joins through you. Cash Score is never affected by payment.
One free entry per person per weekly period. Weekly periods run Monday 00:00 EST to Friday 8:00 PM EST, when the drop is run. Full details in the Official Rules.
No payment, no card, no membership. 18+. Void where prohibited.
