Online Entry Means Easy Wins
Sweepstakes and instant win games can be fun to play, and exciting to win. Hundreds of well known companies offer legitimate chances at cash and prizes throughout the year. In our current internet age, many companies allow online entry, and with internet search engines or a good database site, and a simple form filling program it can be easier than ever to find them and enter.
There are scams out there, too. A pop up window announcing you're the ____ visitor to the site and have instantly won a prize is a common fake. A sweepstakes and instant win database site with personal comments and feedback or a forum is invaluable, they'll help weed out the fakes and alert others to scams, in addition to helping you find the best games currently running. Check my links list for my favorite databases and forums.
Tips to enter and win - the easy way:
Follow these easy steps to play sweeps and instant wins without it taking up a lot of your time:
* Use a form filling program. The one I use is Roboform, linked below.
* Use a source site categorized by prize type to quickly find games and sweeps with prizes of interest to you. Look through the less organized sites as you have time.
* Make a folder in your bookmarks for repeat entry instant wins. Delete the bookmarks as the games expire. This way you are able to spend just a few minutes a day clicking down your list to enter those you hope to win.
* Many companies who offer sweeps and instant win games will give you the option to opt in to email notification of future games when you're signing up for one. Some big companies tend to have games every year or several times a year, so this is a great way to be sure you don't miss them.
* You may want to have a secondary email account you use just for instant wins and sweepstakes. This cuts down on spam and clutter in your main. Just remember to check it for notifications you've won.
