From now until June 24 (technically the very end of June 23), Pogo is running a Country Crock Playfest in Stack’em. It’s been a little while since the’ve done one of these, so if you don’t know, a Playfest is a fun way to earn entries toward a sweepstakes (in this case, for gift cards). To participate, follow the instructions on the Playfest page and then play Stack’em. By doing this, you’ll get 10,000 free tokens added to your account after you complete the ticket goal the first time.

The prizes you can win are all gift cards — in total Pogo is giving away one $1000 gift card, five $100 gift cards and 10 $50 gift cards.

All you have to do to get your first entry and those 10,000 free Pogo tokens is to play Stack’em, and remove 20 sheep in one game.

Good luck and have fun!
