'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
You could win $1 million by asking Perplexity a question during the Super Bowl
Although you may be tuning into the Super Bowl for the football, you'll also be exposed to the latest in tech. (Remember last year's Temu and Copilot ads?) This year, Perplexity is getting in on the action, running a campaign that could win you $1 million.

Perplexity AI announced that this Sunday, February 9, it will be holding its Perplexity Million Dollar Question sweepstakes during the Super Bowl. To enter, all users have to do is download the Perplexity app [iOS or Android] and ask the app questions during the big game.
Users can begin submitting entries at 3 p.m. PT/ 6 p.m. ET (that's a half hour before kickoff) and are limited to 26 entries per person. Sweepstakes entries are calculated as follows: One entry for downloading the app, creating an account, and entering the sweepstakes; one entry per app referral (capped at 20); and five extra raffle entries for asking five questions during the game.
For the referral entries to count, the person being referred has to download the app, sign up, and ask at least one question during the game. You can keep track of all of your entries within the app.
The questions don't have to be related to the Super Bowl, although the game could be a good starting point for questions such as, "Where did the Eagles get their name from?" However, since Perplexity is meant to function as an AI-enhanced search engine, you can ask it whatever you would typically type into Google.

Even though you can't enter until game day, you can input your phone number here to get notified on Super Sunday. The sweepstakes is limited to US residents and citizens 18 years or older. The winner will be notified within three hours after the end of the game.
