With patience and perseverance, a free vacation is available to those who enter travel sweepstakes. Advertisement in malls, magazines and websites feature real vacations to lucky winners who do nothing more than fill out a sweepstakes entry form. Most giveaways need only your name and address, but you are competing against many others who are doing the same. Entering a sweepstakes is simple and anyone can do it. The free vacations are real, and travel companies use them to market their products.
Read over the sweepstakes rules from a form found in travel magazines or on websites to be sure you are eligible. All contests have rules, such as the contestant needs to be over 18 years of age. Another rule might be that the winners must allow the company to use their image and names. Check if the sweepstakes is available in your home state.
Check the date for when the entry form needs to be received. If it is expired, you can no longer win.
Fill out only one paper entry form with a pen or an online form through a travel website with your personal information. Give your name, address, telephone, email address and age. Check off whether or not your want to receive more information about the tourist destination. Most contests only allow one entry.
Stamp your entry and mail it out. If it is an online form, you may need to send in a self-addressed stamped envelope to receive a list of winners. Other contests notify winners via email.
Check the odds of winning the free vacation. Some contests, such as the free vacation from Branson Getaways, have 1 out of every 5,000 entries win. Other contests, like the one from Athens Tour Greece, have odds dependent on the number of entries received.
