Sweepstake wins may seem heavily dependent on luck, but there are actually things you can do to boost the odds of your entry being picked by the sponsor. Here are a few important tips that will help.
1. Set up a new email account: We know you likely already manage a few different email accounts, so setting up one for the sole purpose of entering sweeps may seem a little excessive, but it’s important. Once you start entering sweepstakes, you will find that you are flooded with emails about new sweepstakes, promotional offers, newsletters, and a lot of other content. So, having a separate inbox that contains all your sweepstakes-related emails will make a big difference and help you spot important win notifications easily as well.
2. Go for sweeps that require more steps: This may seem like an odd tip, but it does help. You will, from time to time, come across sweeps that require you to complete certain tasks for your entry to be counted. Don’t ignore such sweeps since most sweepers skip them because they don’t have enough time to complete the additional steps. This boosts your chances of winning considerably.
3. Engage with the sponsor: It’s alright to enter every sweepstake under the sun, but keep in mind that most brands will not want to award you if they find that you are only engaging with their sweepstakes-related posts and nothing else. So, make it a point not to come across as a professional sweeps fan.
4. Join sweepstakes groups: Sweepstakes, like any other hobby, is a lot more fun when you interact with people who are passionate about it. Fortunately, since there are so many Facebook groups and online forums, you can easily find people who are enthusiastic about sweepstakes.
5. Have fun: Most importantly, when entering sweeps, make sure to have fun! Think of sweepstakes as an interesting hobby that lets you win things from time to time. Not only will thinking this way help keep you motivated, but you’ll also enjoy the process.
