Single entry or one entry contests are contests that allow you to enter only once. All you have to do is fill out the information one time and you’re done! Of course, just don’t forget that you’ve entered into the contest already and make the mistake of filling out the form once more. If you do that, you will be disqualified.

One entry sweeps make your life a whole lot easier because all you have to do is enter once and forget about the contest till the results are in. Just spend a few minutes every day to identify new sweepstakes and send in your entries.

Single entry contests require more care. In single entry sweeps, every contestant gets one chance to win. Anyone who sets their toe over the entry frequency is automatically disqualified. Most sweepstake sponsors are very strict when it comes to following the rules. They take their obligations of ensuring fair winnings very seriously. That is why they are quite merciless about disqualification. This calls for extra care and attention while entering single entry sweeps. Read the guidelines of each of the sweepstakes you enter so you can identify single entry contests. Then, keep these contests in a separate folder so you do not send in a second entry inadvertently. Websites that allow you to bookmark entered sweeps are particularly helpful when it comes to single entry sweepstakes.

Some folks believe that single entries give you a better chance to win. It is not entirely correct to believe that your odds of winning are higher with one-time entries. True, single entries restrict the number of entries so the competition is less when compared to open sweeps. However, when it comes to sweepstakes, there is no single winning method. To maximize your chances of winning, your portfolio has to be a mixture of single entries and daily sweeps.

Daily sweepstakes have their own advantages. They allow you to enter often. This increases your chances of winning. With every new entry you send in, your chances of winning go up. The down side is the time factor. Daily sweepstakes take a lot of your time and energy, because you need to keep returning to these contests every day. That means you will have to choose between entering new contests and going back to the old ones. With single entry sweepstakes, the confusion doesn’t exist.

So, the best way to better your odds of winning is to split your efforts between both kinds of sweepstakes. Search for open contests that offer prizes that you really want to win and enter into them. Spend one or two hours every day entering one-time contests. That way, you multiply your chances of hitting the jackpot.
