Sunday Is Last Day to Win $100K From Patch

The annual Deck the House contest winner will get $100,000 for the local school district, but finalists can win $500 toward an electric bill. Deadline is Sunday. Sorry, Patch can't enter for you.

Sunday is the final day to enter a chance to win half a year's electricity bill paid, and ultimately, $100,000 for either the Saddleback Valley Unified School District or the Capistrano Unified School District. All you need to do is take about 60 seconds to enter.

With Rancho Santa Margarita having an entire street—El Corzo—devoted to the nighttime wonder of Christmas, the question is: How can our community NOT win this thing?

Patch's annual Deck the House Contest seeks to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in America—the best “decked” house in the country. Expensive decorations are not necessary, but you do want it to be a bedazzling display.

If this sounds like your house, upload a photo or video of your home to our contest page before Sunday, Dec. 16. The direct link is http://deckthehouse.patch.com/contest/ranchosantamargarita.
