Sweepstakes Star Rating Chart
Sweeties readers thought it might be a good idea if I came up with a rating chart for sweepstakes so they would know what I thought were the best sweepstakes to enter. This rating system is my opinion only and I may update it as the criteria changes.
Since sweepstakes is just a small part of your life – a hobby for some, a part-time job for others as they try to supplement their income – you might like to know which sweepstakes you have a better chance of winning a prize in, especially if you have a limited amount of time to enter.
Of course, this is my rating chart and my opinion so take it with a grain of salt.
And, as noted in the past, you have a chance of winning a prize from ANY sweepstakes or instant win game so enter as many as you can starting with the most Winnable down to the Okay sweepstakes.
I am keeping my rating chart short and sweet. If the sweepstakes isn’t worth entering you won’t see it posted on Sweeties Sweeps so there is no need to have a rating that tells you not to enter.
The sweepstakes that fit each rating will usually met more than one of the criteria I have listed.
WINNABLE – Sweeties Pick
A winnable sweepstakes is one that has great odds for everyone who enters. It might have 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 or 50,000 prizes so many people have a chance to win a prize. It might be an Instant Win Game that gives out prizes every 5 minutes. If it is an Instant Win Game the remaining prizes may be given away in a Second Chance drawing. It might be short running and only last a day, a week, a month or 6 weeks. It might be restricted to a certain age group or a limited amount of states. It might also have other restriction or require extra work like finding a one-time code that only one person can use, or sending away for a code. It might be a sweepstakes or instant win game that can only be won by buying a product to get a game ticket or code and the alternative method of entering is sending an entry in the mail.
GOOD ODDS – Warm, Fuzzy Feeling
This sweepstakes may have a lot of prizes but may not be short ending. On the other hand it may have less prizes but be short ending so less people will find out about it. It may not be highly advertised yet so entering early might be a better bet, especially if it is an instant win game. If it is an Instant Win Game the remaining prizes may be given away in a Second Chance drawing.
OKAY ODDS – Ho Hum
Enter this sweepstakes and move on. Don’t spend a lot of time entering over and over because it is probably not worth the extra effort. It may have only one prize, have a long entry period, or be overly exposed from too much advertising, both national and online.
