By turning in eligible drink containers, participants will have five chances to win $10,000.
The competition rewards Victorians with one entry for every 50 eligible containers they return in a single transaction.
One of the five winners will receive a bonus $10,000 to donate to a registered CDS Victoria charity, school, or community group of their choice.
Scheme co-ordinator VicReturn chief executive Matt Davis said the Win A Million Cents competition rewarded people for recycling while helping ease cost-of-living pressures.
“Victorians are embracing CDS Vic not only to build a more sustainable future, but because it puts money back in their pockets,” Mr Davis said.
“With cost-of-living pressures at front of mind for a lot of Victorians, the prize money could make a real difference.”

Victorian Environment Minister Enver Erdogan said the scheme continued to deliver strong environmental and financial outcomes.
“Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme is transforming the way we recycle, keeping billions of containers out of landfill while supporting families with everyday expenses like groceries and bills,” Mr Erdogan said.
“At a time when households are looking for ways to stretch their budgets, the Win A Million Cents competition is a great incentive for even more people to get involved in CDS Vic.”
With almost 60 million containers returned across Greater Shepparton to date, many will already know where to find their local CDS refund points.
