Abiding by these simple guidelines will certainly improve your time management when it comes to entering sweepstakes and likely will improve your overall winning percentage.
Read the Sweepstakes Rules - Many people are so anxious to enter that they blindly check the "I've read and agreed to the rules" box included with most sweepstakes entries. Some of the most common rules including frequency of entry, minimum or maximum age limits, geographic stipulations etc.
Sweepstakes Entry Form - Enter all the mandatory information requested in the format requested. Formats for telephone numbers vary widely and depending on the sweepstakes sponsor, may invalidate your entry if you don't follow the displayed or format example provided.
Keep Track of Entries - Regardless of the entry frequency allowed, submitting an extra entry that does not follow the rules will likely result is a disqualification for the entire sweepstakes.
Do Check Your Email Daily - Look for winning notifications from the sponsor. While some will arrive my mail or special delivery, many will be sent to the email address you provided with your entry. Remember, many contests run for multiple months. Over time, the emails you received will become numerous and missing the one notification you've been waiting for is a common and costly mistake. Often, winners are required to acknowledge their wins within as little as 24 hours from receipt. Failure to do so will likely lead to disqualification.
