I'd like to point out something regarding gift card prize. Even if the prize is for a brand or store you aren't interested in, you should still enter! Gift card prizes can be easily swapped out for straight cash money with only a tiny drop in value. For instance, if you won a $1,000 gift card for a store you'll never shop at, don't worry! You could sell it on ebay or Raise and put $950+ in your pocket!

In other occurrences, you can get a check in place of the prize! You'd be surprised how many contest fine prints offer to swap out the prize in place of an easy check.

With that said, let's get to this week's Try Your Luck contest roundup!

As always, we keep an updated list of free instant win sweepstakes you can enter as well. These are different types of free giveaways where you find out if you won right after you enter! Also, if you've won anything form this series, please let us know! I'm dusting off our page of lucky winners 🙂

Most of these contests are single-entries, meaning you only enter once. However, there are some exceptions:

• are contests that allow daily entries.
• are contests with a close deadline.
