Sweepstakes may be a game of chance but there’s a lot you can do to increase your chances of winning. Here are three easy ways to start winning sweepstakes more often.
1. Enter sweepstakes that get fewer entries: Yes, those national sweepstakes that offer huge prizes can be tempting, and there’s no reason to not enter them. But, while you enter sweepstakes that receive a lot of attention, make sure to also enter ones that get only a few entries. And that’s exactly why you shouldn’t overlook local, radio, and text sweepstakes. Keep in mind that your odds of winning substantially increase if you aren’t competing against too many people.
2. Be organized: The more entries you submit, the better are your chances of winning. But given that you don’t have an unlimited amount of time to spend on sweepstakes, it’s important to utilize your time wisely. You can do this by being organized. Here are a few tips to stay organized when entering sweepstakes: - Enter local sweepstakes before you enter national ones - Enter instant wins before you enter small, daily sweepstakes - Enter online sweepstakes that you come across before looking for new ones on social media - Keep a note of all the sweepstakes you enter - Keep track of local websites that offer the best sweepstakes
Being organized will keep you from wasting your time or inadvertently disqualifying your entry.
3. Check out the rules of the sweepstakes: Sweepstakes administrators and sponsors usually have certain eligibility requirements that participants have to meet for their entry to be considered. For instance, a sweepstake may only be open to those who live in Las Vegas, so if you reside in Atlanta and submit an entry, you will be disqualified. It’s important that you check these rules so you have a better chance of winning.
