Free Sweepstakes and Contests
US sweepstakes listed here with entry rules and closing dates. Updated daily; ended draws come down the same day.

Sweepstakes are random drawings where you enter for a chance to win prizes without buying anything. Most sweepstakes ask you to fill out an entry form with your name, email, and sometimes other details. Some require you to follow a brand on social media or submit a photo or video as your entry method.
Before entering, check the official rules to see what you're eligible for, when the drawing happens, and how winners are notified. Read the privacy policy too, since entering means the sponsor will have your information. Most sweepstakes are free to enter, but always verify that before submitting anything.

Prize draws are covered in more depth, with entry rules for each sweepstakes, on Best Giveaways.
