agree  Mary Worby: I might be tempted to use 'fantastic' or something instead of 'attractive'. And we need a 'wieder'! (-:

agree  ingot: "ONCE AGAIN" for "WIEDER" perhaps ?

agree  Erik Macki: Good option. "Fantastic" sounds better than "attractive," although that is what the German literally says. I might phrase it "cashpots and prizes" to avoid repeating the word "prize."

overall winner / prizes


Explanation:
I agree with Robert's analysis - I would just say it a little differently. I think we would use "overall winner," and if cash is overtly mentioned, then it's understood that "prizes" refers to non-cash prizes. So:

Cash and attractive prizes await the weekly and overall winners.

Or:
An attractive package of cash and prizes await the weekly and overall winners.
