Here are 8 contests you can enter with prizes valued at $10,000 or more! Good luck!

• Carpet One Pick-Me-Up Contest: You could win a $25,000 Home Makeover or instant prizes every day. After you enter once, you can revisit the site daily and just enter your email address for a chance to win an instant prize by picking a balloon. Each time you pick a balloon, you will receive a "Match and Win" code. You might need that code to win a bigger prize, I can't tell because their rules page is in very small print! I save my codes in a draft email to keep track of them. Open to Canadian residents except Quebec. Ends June 14th, 2009. Bookmark this one!
