If you’re looking to make some extra cash in your free time, sweepstakes are an easy and fun way to do that. Spending some time every day entering contests, can help you to ease the strain on your budget. If your budget is tight, here are some of the ways sweepstakes can help you do the things you want to without any guilt.
Enter cash sweepstakes
The only way to earn money from sweepstakes is by winning them. You can find many sweepstakes giving away cash prizes. Some may give away smaller amounts like $5 or $10, while other mega sweeps reward $50,000 or more. Even if you enter sweeps with smaller rewards, the winnings can add up quickly.
Enter contests other than cash sweepstakes
Entering cash sweepstakes is not the only way to save money. You can also enter other contests that give away useful prizes like free groceries, books, electronics, and more. The key is to use sweepstakes and save money that you’d usually spend on things you want to do. For example, if you win free movie tickets, add the cost of tickets to your next credit card payment or put it into your savings accounts. This way you’ll have fun and set aside some emergency savings.
Sell unwanted prizes for extra cash
If you end up with prizes that you don’t need or things you already have, you can sell them to earn extra money. Put them up for sale on sites like eBay or Craigslist. Rather than letting those items sit at home gathering dust, by selling them, you’ll end up with some much-needed cash.
Reduce your tax liabilities
You can donate the money you earn from contest prizes to a recognized charity and report it when you file your taxes. Deduction on your taxes, means more money in your bank account.
If you have the time, sweepstakes can be a great way to save extra money. And if you’re lucky enough, you could win a good amount that can help you put an end to your financial worries.
