Enter to win up to $100,000.*

There are two ways to enter!  

1. If you're funding an account(s):   
   New clients (who do not have an open BMO InvestorLine account as of March 9, 2026) can open a new, qualifying BMO InvestorLine account and use promo code CBA2026 during account opening to enroll in the contest. Once your account is open, fund it to earn entries. Please note: adviceDirect accounts require a minimum initial deposit of $10,000 to qualify for funding-based entries.  
2. If you don't want to fund an account: Anyone can enter for a chance to win without making a deposit. Please see our official Contest Rules for detailed instructions on the mail-in entry method.  

Qualified accounts are BMO InvestorLine Self-Directed and adviceDirect Cash or Margin (Individual or Joint), Corporate, Sole Proprietorship, TFSA, RRSP, Spousal RRSP, RRIF or Spousal RRIF. Any net new funds you add to these accounts will count towards your cumulative total for the contest. 

Yes. You can enter the contest without making a deposit by mailing in an original essay of at least 150 words. Full details, including essay requirements, mailing address, deadlines, and how entries are awarded, are outlined in the official Contest Rules under the “No Purchase Necessary Method.” 

We make it easy by adding up the total Net New Assets you deposit across all of your qualifying accounts under your name. For example, if you deposit $20,000 into your TFSA and $35,000 into your RRSP during the contest period, we'll use the combined total of $55,000 to qualify you for 25 entries! 

Net New Assets are cash and/or securities sourced from a non-BMO Wealth Management account. Assets held at any time prior to the Contest Period in an account with BMO InvestorLine Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., BMO Private Investment Counsel Inc., or BMO Investments Inc. do not qualify as Net New Assets and cannot be used to fund the Contest Account(s). The originating source of the assets will be tracked throughout the Contest Period (March 9, 2026, to July 31, 2026).    

For joint accounts, only the primary account holder is eligible to opt into the contest. All Net New Assets deposited into any qualifying accounts under that primary account holder's name will be counted towards the total for earning entries. 

The contest runs from March 9, 2026, to June 1, 2026. To qualify for entries by funding, your Net New Assets must be deposited by the Funding Deadline of June 1, 2026, and must remain in your account until July 31, 2026, to qualify for a prize. 

Yes, there is a "Holding Period." The Net New Assets you deposit to qualify for the contest must remain in your BMO InvestorLine account(s) until July 31, 2026. We understand that markets fluctuate, but your eligibility is not affected by market gains or losses. It is only affected if you withdraw or transfer out the funds you deposited for the contest. 

Winners are selected by random draw on August 17, 2026. If your entry is selected, you will be contacted by email. To be officially declared a winner, your accounts must be in good standing, and you must correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question.
