While you’d probably like to spend all your time entering sweepstakes every day, with the countless options out there, it’s impossible to enter them all. So, how do you know which ones you can actually enter and win?
There are three main aspects of any sweeps that increase your chances of winning. Read on to learn what they are.
Fewer competing entries
Surprisingly, there are some sweepstakes that have a low number of entries.While it’s impossible to know for sure, you can make a guess based on the sweepstakes rules. The tighter the restrictions, the better are your chances of winning. In general, look for these signs to know if the sweepstakes will have fewer entrants:
- The giveaway has a long survey or requires multi-page registration. Since it is time-consuming, many people might not bother participating.
- Entry is limited based on the entrants' age, gender, state of residence, etc.
- The prizes are targeted to a specific subset of people. (e.g. High-tech gadget or gift certificate to a local restaurant)
- The sweepstakes may require you to enter photography, writing, or video contests
Bonus entries
The best odds of winning sweepstakes are when you get more entries than other participants. By entering sweepstakes daily, you can increase your chances of winning. Here are a few tips to improve your odds:
- Use sweepstakes referrals
- Enter the maximum number of times as mentioned in the rules
- Keep your eyes peeled for other opportunities to score extra entries (e.g. - Some sponsors may offer extra chances to win for completing a survey or watching a video)
Offers more prizes
Look for sweepstakes that offer many prizes. Sweepstakes that offer multiple prizes provide you with more chances of winning compared to those giving away just one big prize. Although the value of the prizes is low, it helps you to stay motivated and encourages you to enter new sweeps daily.
