Planning to Play Sweeps

Playing sweepstakes is fun and exciting! In order to maximize your chances to win, you’ll want to set aside time each day or time during the week to submit your entries. Essentially, planning your sweepstakes time. Here are a few suggestions on managing your sweeps time and how best to organize all your sweeps sites.

How To:

Gather all your favorite sweeps sites into a list - a checklist. Next, check your calendar to set aside dedicated time to submit sweeps entries. Estimate the amount of time you will need for each sweeps site to determine how much time you will need to commit to submitting entries. If you choose to submit entries daily (which will give you a better chance to win), you will need to devote time each day. Or, if you only have time once a week to enter, choose the best day and time to do so.

Entry Suggestion:

We suggest you set up an email address dedicated only to sweepstakes. That way, you won’t miss important messages from any of the sweepstakes sites. In addition, it keeps you organized. Sweepstakes sites send lots of messages and reminders on upcoming prizes as well as reminders to submit daily entries so it’s best not to include them in your personal email box. Having an email address committed just for sweeps won’t clutter your personal email inbox.

Sweeps Time:

Once you decide how often you will set aside time for sweeps, keep track of your time and adjust your schedule as needed. Also use and update your checklist. If you join more sweeps sites - add them to your checklist and include more time on your calendar. Make use of the checklist by adding the dates you submit your entries. Therefore you will know when you submitted entries. The checklist can also include the sweeps prizes that you have entered. By doing so you can add the sweeps ending dates so you’ll know when each prize will be awarded. That way, you won’t miss out on maximizing your entries for your favorite prizes. If you are lucky, you can track your winnings on your checklist.
