As exciting as winning cash sounds, I would suggest finding motivation in yourself. That way success doesn't turn into disappointment from not being 'successful enough'.
As for exercise, cardio (like the treadmill) is great for your health. If you want to burn more calories with it you could quicken your pace. You could jog for 5 minutes then go back down to a walk to rest.
For weight loss I'd recommend doing some weight training. It will help you maintain muscle mass, and muscle needs to burn more calories to maintain itself. You don't even need fancy equipment, I do body weight workouts like these: http://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/551492-2o-best-body-weight-exercises/#slide-1 I personally alternated between a day of cardio and a day of weight training.
As for food, you need to be in charge of that. Bring your own healthy lunch and snack to work. Say 'no' to the pizza and if you get a reward that is unhealthy give it away. It's not really a reward it it's hindering your goals.
I hope this was helpful.
