Hard West Steam Giveaway – Enter the Lottery for a Free Code! – Wccftech

With Hard West 2 coming up shortly (look forward to our review soon), we’ve partnered with CreativeForge Games and Good Shepherd Entertainment to give away ten Steam codes for the original installment.
This will be a raffle-type giveaway, so enter through the Gleam box below and wait for the good news. Good luck!
Hard West Steam Giveaway

Welcome to the Wild West like you’ve never seen it before. When a tragic turn of events sets one man down a path of supernatural chaos and revenge, he must brutally hunt down all those who wronged him. Follow Warren on his descent into the darkest recesses of the human soul, and try to survive in a world full of hard choices and even harder consequences. Because in this world, death is a constant presence and the black pacts which you make with forces beyond human comprehension will forever haunt all those around you.
Fight and survive through 8 unique story-based scenarios, and try your hand at 40 individually designed turn-based combat missions. Journey deeper into the world of Hard West and meet a colorful cast of playable characters whose fates are intimately intertwined with yours. Together you will need to make divisive choices to uncover the ultimate plans of the ancient powers at play, as you unravel a deep narrative storyline featuring multiple endings depending on the choices you make during the game.
Here’s Chris Wray’s review on Wccftech, by the way.
Hard West is an unusual title. The budget limitations are shown with the bland visuals but surprisingly made up for by the understated yet excellent voice acting. The core game isn’t exactly revolutionary, but there’s little need to reinvent the wheel when you can perfect it. That’s what Hard West seems to have done. It lacks any features that can surprise you, but what it does have is polished to a diamond-like shine.
Hard West is a solid tactical game. It lacks in story and character aspects but more than makes up for it when you go into battle.

Mega Millions Jackpot Rises to $965 Million – Q106.5

No one won the Mega Millions lottery on Tuesday night and the jackpot is now at $965 million and rising.
There have been no grand prize winners since someone in Virginia matched all six numbers in June 2025.
Tuesday nights numbers were 10, 13, 40, 42, 46 and a gold Mega Ball of 1.
It’s currently the eighth biggest prize in Mega Millions history. The number will rise significantly before the next drawing Friday night, November 14.
The one time cash payout is estimated to be $445.3 million before taxes, according to WABI News. Winners can also take the full jackpot in annual payments over 30 years.
The record prize in Mega Millions history was $1.602 billion. It was won with a single ticket in Florida on August 8, 2023. The chances of winning are 1 in 290,472,336.
Maine sells Meg Million tickets along with 44 other states including Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Drawings for the lottery are held on Tuesday and Friday nights at 11 pm every week.
