What Happens After You Enter an Online Sweepstakes?
After entering a sweepstake, you may receive confirmation, follow-up emails, and eventually a winner announcement. Click to find out how entries are processed and what to expect after you enter.
Once you submit your entry, your information is stored securely — often with opt-in to a newsletter or campaign updates. Depending on the platform used, you may also receive a thank-you email or bonus entry confirmation if you’ve completed additional actions like referrals.
Next, the sweepstake will run through its scheduled duration. After the deadline, the organizer will verify entries and randomly select a winner. Some platforms draw winners live or send a confirmation email to winners with next steps.
Gleam handles all of this by automatically confirming entries, preventing duplicates, and drawing random winners with full transparency — so both entrants and organizers are protected.
