Many food and consumer goods manufacturers run incentive lotteries. There are people who have made receiving prizes in such lotteries their hobby. They call themselves prize-takers. You can become one of them too.
Instructions
Step 1
Don't rely on ads alone - that's just the tip of the iceberg. Many promotional lotteries are held without prior notice to the target audience. Pay attention to the packaging of goods, visit specialized prize-winning forums - and you will learn about new lotteries immediately after, and sometimes even before they start - which means that you will have time to dial the required number of codes before the most interesting prizes are sorted out.
Step 2
Choose the lottery you like and start collecting covers or stickers. Please note that it is more rational to find some of them on the street than to buy with food, since their use in the amount required to receive a prize can have an extremely negative effect on health. This is especially true for sugar-containing drinks, coffee, alcoholic and tobacco products. But keep in mind that the organizers of some lotteries may, when issuing large prizes, cashier's checks - check this shaded in the forum.
Step 3
Find out from the lottery rules what exactly should be done with the codes in order to receive the prize. Sometimes they just need to be entered in a sufficient number, sometimes - to have time to enter as many codes as possible within a short period of time, sometimes - to become the first to take part in the lottery at the beginning of an hour or day. There are other options, try not to register codes via SMS. Use the Internet for this.
Step 4
In almost every incentive lottery, some prizes are easier to win than others. It is better to chase the "bird in the hands" than the "pie in the sky", since it is easier to get a small prize. But accumulating useless and taking up souvenirs is not worth it. Better to make a reasonable compromise. For example, if plush toys, players and boats are raffled in the lottery, then it is most rational to "aim" at the player.
Step 5
If you received a notification of winning, inform the operator or enter in the form on the website (depending on the lottery) the delivery address and passport data. Sometimes it is more convenient to order delivery at the place of work. For prizes worth more than four thousand rubles, be sure to check with the support service the amount of tax, and also ask who exactly should pay it - you or the organizer (it can be different). If the amount of tax is large, and you must pay it, it is wiser to take the prize in money (this is possible in almost every incentive lottery) - in this case, the tax can be paid from the amount received, and not from your own funds.
Step 6
Even when winning only inexpensive prizes, make sure that they are not recruited in the amount of more than 4000 rubles per year. Otherwise, you will have to pay tax on the part of the total value of the prizes that goes beyond this amount.
