Has it been a while since you saw a prize come your way from sweepstakes you entered? Well, there could be a reason for it. While winning sweepstakes does take some persistence, many sweeps fans actually make mistakes that could be causing their entries to get rejected. Here are some of the top reasons why you may not be winning sweepstakes.
1. You’re entering the wrong sweepstakes: Before you enter any sweepstakes, make sure to read the rules and ascertain the eligibility. Some sweepstakes are only open to people above or under a certain age, while others are only open to people who reside in a particular area, and so on. If you are entering sweepstakes that you are not eligible to enter, you will certainly not be getting any prize notifications.
2. You’re not submitting enough entries: You can’t submit an entry every month or whenever you feel like it and expect to win prizes. That’s not how it works; sure, you may know of someone who entered one sweepstake and won something amazing, but that’s pretty uncommon. If you want to win, you need to enter more often.
3. You are missing win notifications: If you win a sweepstake, the sponsor will usually reach out to you by calling you on the number you provided or sending you an email. If you enter social media sweepstakes, they will likely message you through the platform. Make sure to check these channels from time to time, because a number of people miss their win notification and complain about never winning anything.
4. You’re not being positive: Positive thinking can work miracles. If you start thinking like a winner, you’re eventually going to start winning!
5. You’re only entering extremely popular sweepstakes: There’s no harm in entering big-name sweeps. But you need to know that those sweepstakes receive thousands of entries, which lowers your chances of winning a prize. So, look for sweepstakes that aren’t as well known.
