Users have just a couple of days left to enter the Microsoft Big Box of Awesome contest for a chance to win. The Redmond company’s Facebook Sweepstakes is scheduled to end on May 2, 2011, at the start of next week.

There are a range of prizes that await participants, although only residents of the United States will actually be able to enter the Microsoft Big Box of Awesome Sweepstakes.

Obviously, in order to enter users will need to own a valid Facebook account. If they don’t, signing up for one is free, and they’ll only need to head over to the official Microsoft corner on the social network as well as to the promotion’s page.

“So you already have a PC running Windows 7 because (let’s face it), you know that it’s the best way to express your individuality while also guaranteeing success,” revealed Microsoft’s Kristina Libby.

“Sometimes, though it is not just about using a PC to be the best mom, student, or business person you can be. Sometimes, it is about the really epic stuff that you can do with your PC. I’m talking about connections—from your PC, to your Xbox, to your TV.

“Lucky for you, I’ve got a way that you can stay connected with really beautiful cutting edge technology, while still being your best self--- a new giveaway called the Big Box of Awesome.”

There are some truly amazing prizes packed into the Microsoft Big Box of Awesome, which more than deserve a Like. The software giant is not calling it the Big Box of Awesome for nothing.

“We don’t want to stop though at a PC, so the prize package includes some other things, like a Samsung Focus Windows Phone, an Xbox 360 with Kinect, and a 46” Samsung LED TV!

"Also in the box is a copy of Office 2010 Professional, 3 Kinect games, and a Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse. Now you can stay connected and connect in more ways than ever before. So basically, you can make your best self even better,” Libby added.
