Sweepstakes List for Windows

Sweepstakes watchers can easily manage their chances with this program, but the advertised intelligent sweeps alert feature seems missing in action.

Sweepstakes List's no-frills interface won't win any awards in design, but it's easy enough to use, and we were able to customize some options within the UI. It comes preloaded with sample sweeps, so you can easily determine how to add your own. Adding and deleting is a snap, and we could simply type details, including sweepstakes title, type, frequency, and URL. The program instantly launched our browser and went directly to the specified URL, which is a nice touch. Search and filter options are handy, especially when your list of sweepstakes grows longer. We also appreciate that the program indicates whether your sweepstakes are due for filing or expired.

During assessment, the program didn't show any alerts or notifications, despite what the developer claims. Sweepstakes List neither searches for new sweepstakes promotions nor automatically fills in Web forms. Even so, this program can help any dedicated sweeps fan track and manage his or her sweepstakes.
