Microsoft Wants You to Use Edge So Badly That It's Giving Away $1M and a Mercedes-Benz

Microsoft wants more people using Edge, and to convince them, it's giving away some pretty substantial prizes. A new Microsoft Rewards sweepstakes includes a top prize of $1 million in cash for one winner, along with multiple Mercedes‑Benz vehicles and thousands of smaller prizes, like a ROG Xbox Ally or a Copilot+ PC.
