Do you ever enter sweepstakes online? If you do, what kinds of sweepstakes do you enter? Have you or anyone you know ever won one?

Hi, welcome to mylot!! I only enter competitions from website that I know are serious and they really give the prize if won. But I never won anything from online competitions. Never came across sites with sweepstakes except those on which I used to play games but I am also careful on what ones I take part since as said they may be a scam. Better safe than sorry. Have a nice day!

yes good research is required since you may find posts or blogs promoting the site as those people would have fallen for the scam and don't know that it's not good so you need to continue searching.

I only enter sweepstakes since they are part of the incentives when I do surveys, usually when I don't qualify. However, I have not bought any entries to join a sweepstakes because the chances of my being picked out as a winner are very low. I have won 3x on random drawings done by some survey sites and these were mostly gift certificates. I was really excited when they sent an email that I won because I did not believe in them. I did win some!

No i usually don't enter sweepstakes online unless they are major sweepstakes from general companies that are well known and even then i don't enter but i do every once in a while. I usually enter the ones for shopping sprees or new cars or vacations because of course i would enjoy those things. i have neverwon anything or known anyone who has won. Smaller sweeepstakes, like raffles, i have won something before and i have had friends win things such as merchandise and college scholarships.
