To enter the sweepstakes, people will have to:
- Sign up for Jack in the Box’s rewards program, Jack Pack Rewards.

The extra money for rent would help many U.S. residents, especially those in California, who spend an average of 28.74% of their income on rent, according to a study published by Forbes Home. Californians spend the second-highest percentage of their income on rent, the study found.
Hawaii residents spent the most; 42.06% of their income goes towards rent expenses.
The average income for California residents is $76,614, according to the study’s data.
Rent in the Golden State isn’t cheaper either, with research showing that the average monthly rent in 2021 was $1,818.
Rentals in Los Angeles, San Diego and the Bay Area tend to be more expensive.
