Instant Win Tips
I used to design Sweepstakes and Instant Win games for fastfreefun.com (a division of Excite.com) before we went bankrupt...and I have a few tips for you.

Number 1:
With an instant win game, the larger prizes are typically set to be given out in the last quarter of the game. For example, if the game was to last 4 months, the big ticket items usually will be given away in the last month.

Number 2:
It typically doesn't matter what time of day you play the ticket. Time is usually not a factor in the way winners are disbursed. Our rules stated that there were 1,000,000 tickets available, and before the game started, we would decide that the 854,324th ticket would be the big winner. So that ticket could be given out on any day at any time, but only after the 854,323rd ticket was handed out first.

Number 3:
When you click the button to get your ticket, or you click on the handle of the slot machine, the website decides if you will win something immediately. So, once you get that ticket, there is no need or advantage in scratching something off a certain way or waiting 10 seconds before you "pull the handle".

Hope this helps some of you. Good Luck!

Something else I thought of.......
I read this somewhere.

After you win a prize on an instant win, make sure you go back and read the rules on how many times you can win, per household, per email address, etc. That way you don't waste any more time entering when there is no chance of you receiving any additional prizes you may win.

Three little words:

"Just keep trying!" I've found no trick, no clue, no secret to winning at instant wins, just the fact that I've kept playing them over and over and over again (within the stated rules of course)!
