There are also sweepstakes newsletters available that gather all of the legitimate sweepstakes for you and provide you with all of the information you need to enter them. Each sweepstakes has its own set of official rules. All of this information can be found in the official rules. No special supplies are necessary. As you enter more sweepstakes, you might want to use colored envelopes or decorate them yourself, but this is not necessary.
Most winners state that they won using plain envelopes and papers.
Sweepstakes are random drawings. Your entry is put into a pool of entries. There are different variations of sweepstakes, such as regular sweepstakes, multiple drawing sweepstakes, and second chance sweepstakes. Regular sweepstakes are those in which there is a prize or set of prizes and there is one entry deadline and one drawing. Each sweepstakes has different rules, and some may ask you to write a qualifying phrase or a few words on your entry.
