Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does SA enter the Sweepstakes for Me?

Answer: No, you have to fill out the forms & submit or enter the sweepstakes yourself. Use Sweepscheck to check off the ones you enter and use My Sweepstakes to keep a private list of any that you enter. Your private My Sweepstakes lists can include sweepstakes that allow daily entry or just sweepstakes that you want to keep track of. * For Instructions on How to use SweepsCheck & My Sweepstakes go Here.

2. I'm starting to get lots of sponsor email or spam. How do I deal with this? 

Answer: We highly recommend getting a free email account that you use just for sweepstakes entry. You can get them at Yahoo, Hotmail or even our own ZZN mail.  SA is trusted by Mcafee to be Spam and Adware Free

3. How will I know if I've won? 

Answer: All sponsors handle the prize notification different ways. Most smaller valued prizes will notify you by email. Be sure to browse your spam folder periodically before you empty it to ensure notifications are not lost. Some sponsors will send you a letter or affidavit for prizes of larger value. ( Please disregard entities that want a claim or processing fee in order for you to receive your prize. These are most often fraudulent ).

4. How long does it take to win?

Answer: This will be determined by how often and how many sweepstakes you enter. Some members start winning after just a few days while some may wait longer. Some sponsors of large prizes may take several months to name a winner so please factor this into your wait time also.

12. Is SA Free? 

Answer: Yes, We know there are many people on the site that come here because they are down on their luck. Some of them visit us at the public library because they cannot afford computers or internet connections. 

Our aim is to keep things as they are and look to our members to help keep SA free by voluntarily doing the following which does not require a donation or subscription fee of any kind. 

1. When you see an interesting banner, click our sponsor and check it out. Who knows it may be a new or exclusive sweepstakes. You can even click 1x per day. If all our members did this we would never have any funding problems and the site would always remain free. 

2. Participate in the Member Sweepstakes.
