A computer-implemented system and method for managing a reward-based campaign are disclosed in which an entry code generator operating on one or more processors automatically generates a first set of entry codes and a second set of entry codes. A consumer entry validator operating the one or more processors receives and stores in a consumer database a first consumer entry code and a second consumer entry code, wherein the first consumer entry code is one of the first set of entry codes and the second entry code is one of the second set of entry codes. A winning entry selector operating on the one or more processors develops a winning entry code. A consumer notifier develops a consumer entry from the first consumer entry code and the second consumer entry code and determines that the consumer entry matches winning entry and, in response, instructs a consumer device to display an indication of such match.
