As part of the upcoming home video release of 9, there will be a massive sweepstakes competition: Universal Studios Home Entertainment will be offering fans the opportunity to win up to $100,000.

Starting November 18th and until December 29th, the distributor will be giving away numerous prizes, including HDTVs, Netbooks and Blu-ray players (two apiece to winners). Universal will also be distributing a $100,000 check to just one lucky winner. The intent of the prize is for the winner to use that money in some way to better the world, such as a donation to charities.
