How do you know if you really win a sweepstakes?
When you win instant sweepstakes, you’ll find out right away if you’ve won a prize. Either a message will pop up on your screen letting you know you’re a winner, or you’ll receive an email or text message within a few minutes of entering. Don’t get so excited by your win that you overlook important information.
What do you say when you win a prize?
Immediately say “thank you,” and add an appropriate phrase such as “for this special honor,” or “for this incredible award.” Mention the name of the person who nominated you, if you know, and always the name of the organization to the thank you. Acknowledgements.

How can you tell if you are the winner of a sweepstakes?
