General rules:
The campaign will start on Tuesday 1 October 2024, and end on Thursday 31 October 2024.
Learners and teachers will have to opt in to #1MillionMaths, to be eligible for prizes.

Learners must be at school in Grades 8 - 12, to be eligible to enter #1MillionMaths.
To be eligible for a prize, a learner/teacher’s registered school, grade, and contact details must be up-to-date and correct.
If a learner can’t be reached using the contact details provided, we will attempt to contact the school. If unsuccessful, the learner will forfeit the prize.
Voucher prizes will be delivered directly to winners via the mobile number provided in their profile.
Physical prizes will be delivered directly to the winning learner’s school, using the physical address provided by the winner.
Siyavula will liaise directly with the winning learner, or alternatively with the winning learner’s school. Correspondence with parents/guardians with regards to prizes will not be entered into.
Daily draw for learners:
Any high school Mathematics or Physical Sciences learner in South Africa is eligible to enter.
To be eligible for a daily prize, a learner's Siyavula profile must reflect their correct grade and school.
During October, any learner who earns a mastery star on Siyavula will be entered into the daily draw for that day.
Learners will receive one entry into the daily draw for each star earned in a day (e.g. if a learner earns three stars in a day, they will receive three entries into the daily draw for that day).
Learners who have already achieved 100% mastery on Siyavula will receive one entry for every 10 questions completed in a day (e.g. if they complete 20 questions in a day, they will receive two entries into the daily draw).
The 10 questions must be answered in a single subject (i.e. 5 questions in maths and 5 in science do not equate to an entry).
Prize winners will be randomly drawn and announced the following day.
