If you are keen to get into the swing of entering sweeps and wish to do it this Halloween, you may be wondering how you’ll be notified if you are declared the winner. Although the sweeps-entry process is easy, it can be a task to keep track of news related to the sweeps you participated in, and you may end up forgetting to check if you’ve won. That's why we decided to make this post breaking down how winners are contacted.
Never miss a phone call
After you've entered a Halloween sweep, keep your phone by your side at all times. Don't miss any call, even if the call is from an unknown or withheld number. When the prize is time-sensitive, the sponsor may pick another winning entry if they are unable to get in touch with you. If, by chance, you miss a call on your phone, you can also do a quick Google search to find out if the number is attached to a sweep agency or brand.
By email or mail
Halloween sweeps vary significantly. Usually, if it is hosted on a website and your email is required, the sponsor will contact you by sending you an email. However, if the sweep you've entered had you type in your address at the time of signing up, you may not be contacted at all. The price may be sent to your home address directly.
Public announcements
Another case of winners not being contacted at all is when Halloween sweeps are announced publicly by different means such as a blog post, email newsletter, Facebook post, or Instagram story. In such a scenario, the winner is supposed to reach out to the promoter to claim their prize. So, sweepers really need to keep an eye out for their names online.
