    Contest Entry Questions

     I'm sure all of my questions are probably answered somewhere in this Forum but Lord that is a lot to go through. I only joined up about 2 months ago. Won a few small items but I love it none the less (so far). As my Dad use to say "Still waiting for my ship to sail in". 

    Is there a "key" to winning other than persistance? What's better in the long run - Instant Wins, Daily's, Weekly, One Time, or is there no rhyme or reason? 

    On Instant Wins is it OK to just to close without clicking "next" and "no thanks"  when you haven't won instantly.  Can you still win when you click "If You Can't See Click Here"? 

    Near the end of the month I make sure that I've entered every Contest I can. I haven't figured out when winners are notified. Some do it within a week and some make take a month. I've only been doing this for about 2 months now but is there such a thing I'm calling a "Sweet Week"? - the first week of a new month? 

    Many of the Sweeps offer "Travel Packages" as the Grand Prize but have other prizes as well. I don't mind a nice trip to say Los Wages, Miami, etc. but I like the secondary prizes as well.  Should I not enter contests like that? I do realize I can turn down any prize but I'd be a fool not to enter the contest, right? Worry about that (what if) stuff later? 

    I know, win first, then ask later. But I'm more of a Planner.

    Re: Contest Entry Questions

    You're right, pyro - the answers to your questions are in past posts. It's not hard to find them if you use the search function and simply enter keys words like "winning strategies" or "lucky times to enter". Other than persistence, I would counsel you to enter all types of sweeps (IW, daily, etc.); keep your entry count per day high (100+); know what you are entering for and any restrictions for entering or winning; and of course sweep as efficiently as possible by using Robo, etc. and pre-loading your tabbed entry pages with your computer's control button. Be aware of prizes where if you win you owe high taxes - other than cash prizes, you may need to take out a loan to pay the taxes after a big win! GSTY! Yes

    WINNERS are not QUITTERS!
