Draws and lotteries on the Internet

Free drawing of prizes on Vkontakte

Раз уж в своём примере я начал говорить о социальной сети vk.com, then I will be the first to describe this method. Как он работает со стороны организатора Вы уже смогли узнать в первых 3-ёх абзацах. Basically, и со стороны участника всё выглядит примерно также, but I would still like to add a couple of answers to these questions:

• As always, be aware of all ongoing competitions and do not miss your chance?
• How to make sure the winner is honest?

A year ago, I had to look for such events myself, but good, that there were enterprising people, сообразившие создать свои сообщества с мониторингом розыгрышей. Due to the fact, that there are already a lot of subscribers in these groups, eager to win something, administrators don't even have to search for information on their own, because, everything, who runs the contests, themselves contact them with a request to place an announcement about the start of a new promotion.

Simply put, we need to find groups, monitoring all these contests. Для этого ищем в поиске сообществ следующие ключи: practical jokes, free, etc.. Вступаем в найденные группы и теперь-то мы точно всегда будем в курсе новых событий.

I personally use these:

• Contests Draws Prizes Gifts
• Practical jokes! Contests!

I advise you to join two, or even a few more. It happens sometimes, that some contests in some communities are unique.

At the end of the promotion, обычно выкладывают видео запись, where show, who exactly was chosen by the random number generator. Or now, more often, the selection of the winner is broadcast online.
