Win a $1k Harris Scarfe Gift Card

The Today Show Five Ring Dash competition, run by Nine, is open to permanent residents of Australia aged 18 years and over who are not excluded under the promoter's terms and conditions. It is a game of skill.

The Five Ring Dash competition opened at 5:30am AEDT on 30 March 2026 and closes at 11:00am AEDT on 17 December 2026. Entries are judged every Thursday at 11:05am AEST/AEDT, and winners are called on Fridays during the promotional period.

Each week an entrant who answers the phone within five rings and gives the correct weekly codeword within 30 seconds of answering wins a $1,000 Harris Scarfe gift card. If the entrant misses the call or the codeword, they receive a $200 Harris Scarfe gift card as a consolation prize and the major prize jackpots, so the next Friday's prize is $2,000 in gift cards, and so on up to a maximum jackpot of $45,400 in Harris Scarfe gift cards. On the final Friday, calls continue until an entrant answers within five rings with the correct codeword. The total prize pool is up to $45,400, and the prizes are supplied by Harris Scarfe.

Watch the Today Show Monday to Thursday during the promotional period for the weekly codeword, then complete the online entry form with your details, the codeword, and an answer in 25 words or fewer to the question "Why would you like to win?". Only one entry per person is allowed for each round of judging, meaning one entry per weekly codeword, and each entry must be submitted separately. A limit of one prize per person applies.
