Sweepstakes and Instant Wins

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. This quickly fills in details like your name and address, saving typing.

* 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.
