Are some sweepstakes better than others? Yes, absolutely! There are so many great sweepstakes out there, but, of course, you can’t enter them all. You need to do some research to find sweepstakes for which you have a better chance of winning. Here are 3 things that can improve your chances of winning a sweepstakes prize.
Sweepstakes that have fewer entries
Some sweepstakes can have even a million entries, while some can have a surprisingly low number of entries. Think about it, your odds are certainly better when you have a 1 in 100 chance of winning, compared to if it was 1 in 100,000. So, how do you know which sweepstakes have fewer entries? The fact is you can never tell how many entries the sponsor will receive, but you can make an educated guess based on their rules. For instance, sweepstakes that are prohibited in a few states automatically cuts out all the residents in those states from participating. Similarly, you’ll find that entry may be restricted based on the entrants’ age, gender, residence, etc.
Sweepstakes that offer more prizes
Possibly the best sweepstakes that you can enter are the ones that offer many prizes. A sweepstake that gives away 100 prizes is better than one that gives away 10 prizes (assuming both have the same number of entrants). Even if the prize that’s given is of lower value, you’ll be motivated to enter more sweepstakes once you start winning.
Sweepstakes that allow you to enter more often
Some sweepstakes limit your entry, but others allow you to submit multiple entries, and the latter usually gives you better odds. For instance, in the case of daily sweepstakes, you can submit an entry every day, and the more the number of entries you submit, the better are your chances of winning. But think about it, how many people do you think actually submit their entry every day? If you are diligent and submit your entry every day, you’ll likely win. To increase your chances of winning, make sure to enter as many times as you can (as specified in the rules), use sweepstakes referrals whenever you can, and look out for chances to submit extra entries.
