How to win Prize Draws. Enter them!

It is definitely that simple.

If you don't enter you certainly wont win. On average if you were to spend about an hour a day entering comps you should win around 3 prizes a week. Do keep in mind however as with all competitions there is a certain amount of luck involved.

When people ask me why I keep winning prizes I tell them "I just enter competitions". This is what most people fail to do and then complain that they are unlucky as they never win anything.

Its all about creating your own luck.

When I was about 6 I found a four leaf clover. Some say I was lucky to find it. The real truth is I went LOOKING for the four leaf clover. Had I never looked I would never have found it!

Apply this same way of thinking to entering prize draws and you'll be winning in no time.

You can find thousands of prizes on the competition listings at Loquax UKWins and The Prizefinder

You can win just about anything on the internet. Most people new to comping just want to win cash prizes. The problem is so does everyone else!

If you're trying to raise cash by winning prizes enter to win a broad range of competition prizes. You could then sell your winnings on either Amazon or Ebay.

Many compers sell unwanted prizes to raise cash for entering offline prize draws and their small wins cover the cost of stamps.

A good system to use is make sure you are entered to win something everyday.

Each site gives a breakdown of competition by closing date. Even if its just 1 competition you are giving yourself a chance to win a prize every day of the week.

Naturally you need to enter rather more competitions than one a day but its a start!

Top Tip: Stack the odds in your favour by entering competitions with lots of runner up prizes. Always give yourself the best chance of winning.

Do not be tempted to cheat though! Many sites have tracking software and can tell when you're cheating. Imagine winning a big cash prize and then being disqualified. Only enter more than once if it says you can in the Terms & Conditions.

To save time entering your details try downloading Roboform - form filling software.

Also register as a member of the sites as this means you are sometimes automatically entered into the prize draws.
