Discover The Island Of Curacao And Win $500,000

Grab your flip-flops and hop on a plane. The Dutch Caribbean island of Curacao is hiding $500,000 and they want you and your family to come find it.

From now until May 23, 2009, enter the Curacao Treasure Hunt contest and you have the chance to win either $500,000 or one of 70 free trips to the island. The free trips will be offered daily and the treasure hunt will consist of 10 finalists who will search the island high and low, for the hidden treasure. Winners will be chosen at random, but those who win the free trips are not eligible to participate in the treasure hunt.

The free trip will provide roundtrip airfare for the winner and one guest. Winners will receive hotel accommodations for 5D/4N in one double occupancy room. Travel arrangements must be made through the Sponsor's agent at least 30 days prior to the trip. All travel must be completed by December 31, 2009. Some restrictions may apply.

All finalists will be notified by May 29, 2009 and the treasure hunt will take place in August 2009. Contestants will be given a map and must follow the provided clues which will lead them to various locations on the island. At each location, they will earn a key and one of those keys will open the treasure chest containing the grand prize.

To enter the contest, go to the website. You will be prompted to enter your name, and then answer a trivia question about the island. If you answer the question correctly, you will be entered to win either a free trip or to participate in the treasure hunt. You can enter as many times as you want and share the link with your friends.
