Work your way through from beginning to end to make sure you enter the sweepstakes that are expiring first. Enter any sweepstakes with prizes you want to win, and which you are eligible to win. Take note of the sweepstakes you&amp;amp;#39;ve entered so that you don&amp;amp;#39;t accidentally\u00A0&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/will-entering-sweepstakes-too-often-disqualify-you-882722&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;enter more often than you&amp;amp;#39;re allowed&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. Do this one time, to ensure that you have entered each giveaway at least once. You don&amp;amp;#39;t have to do this step every day.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Review New Sweepstakes Listings:&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Start each day by looking over &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/new-sweepstakes-and-contests-896980&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;new sweepstakes listings&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; to see which great contests have recently begun.

This is something you can do any time you have a few spare moments: while drinking your morning coffee, unwinding from a long day at work, or watching television, for example.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Set a Time to Enter Weekly and Monthly Sweepstakes&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;It&amp;amp;#39;s easy to let weekly and monthly sweepstakes fall through the cracks and to miss getting as many chances to win as possible. Setting a specific time to enter these sweepstakes helps to eliminate that problem. For example, commit to entering &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/weekly-sweepstakes-and-contests-896982&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;7&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Weekly Sweepstakes&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; on Mondays and my &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/monthly-sweepstakes-enter-these-sweepstakes-every-month-896979&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;8&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Monthly Sweepstakes&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; at the beginning of the month. Setting a reminder with an online calendar program will keep you from forgetting these giveaways.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;By following this simple daily routine, you can maximize your chances of winning while reducing the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/faster-sweepstakes-entry-880882&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;9&amp;quot;&amp;gt;amount of time you need to enter&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;How and Why to Create a Mix of Sweepstakes to Enter:&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;So how do you decide which sweepstakes are worth your time? While it may be tempting to focus on &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/mega-sweepstakes-with-prizes-worth-30-000-or-more-887116&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;10&amp;quot;&amp;gt;huge, life-changing prizes&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, the odds of winning those are extremely long. You are courting &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/beat-sweepstakes-burnout-896861&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;11&amp;quot;&amp;gt;sweepstakes burnout&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;\u00A0if you don&amp;amp;#39;t enter more winnable sweepstakes as well.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The trick to winning big AND winning often is to enter a mix of sweepstakes types. Here are a few things to consider when you&amp;amp;#39;re picking sweepstakes to enter:\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Sweepstakes with One Big Prize vs. Lots of Smaller Prizes&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/big-sweepstakes-dream-prizes-887112&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;12&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Big prizes&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; are more attractive, while sweepstakes with &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/sweepstakes-and-contests-with-lots-of-prizes-887121&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;13&amp;quot;&amp;gt;lots of prizes&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; have higher chances of winning. Entering both types of giveaways gives you both of those advantages.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Contests vs. Sweepstakes&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Sweepstakes are faster and easier to enter, but contests tend to have fewer entrants and favor your skill. Adding some contests to your sweepstakes mix will give you the advantage of the higher odds of winning without costing too much time.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Local vs. National Sweepstakes&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;National sweepstakes are easier to find, but\u00A0&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/find-local-contests-and-sweepstakes-896955&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;14&amp;quot;&amp;gt;local sweepstakes&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;\u00A0have far fewer entrants and less competition for the prizes.

However, the difficulty also discourages others from entering, which means the odds of winning could be higher. Adding a few hard-to-enter sweepstakes could bring you many more prizes.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A mix of sweepstakes with different prize values, difficulties, and odds of winning will motivate you by helping you win smaller, useful prizes while still having a shot at winning those huge, dream prizes.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
