Random Drawing
Playtopia is the only contender in this category. Instead of having sweeps, they just have random drawings. You can also schedule it to buy tickets for you, which is interesting. I imagine it’s a good way to keep from missing out on a new drawing!
Clicking the game name will take you to the Playtopia ticket shop, where you buy *drumroll* tickets. ^_^
| Quick Jackpot (Blue Tickets) | Playtopia | $10-$30 |
| Extra Jackpot (Red Tickets) | Playtopia | $30-$100 |
| Super Jackpot (Green Tickets) | Playtopia | No max $9,195 as of 1/12/11 |

Best Chance to Win
To figure out where you have the best chance to win a prize, I combined two aspects: website traffic and how often a winner is picked. (Traffic stats are from November 2010.)
You always have better odds with sweeps that end quickly, because people don’t have as much time to enter them. And you have better odds on smaller sites, because you have less competition overall.
Think of it this way. Slingo got 360k unique visitors in November, and they gave out 60 daily prizes in that time.
60 daily prizes / 360k visitors = 1 daily prize / 6k visitors
also known as
1 daily prize per 6,000 visitors
This sorta gives you an idea of how many people are competing for one prize. However, since we’re dealing with sweeps here, these are not the actual odds of winning!!!
The actual odds are determined by how many tickets are purchased. So! Even though I can’t give you the exact odds, I can give you an idea of how much competition you’re up against.
The Gamesville games with a single winner each day have been lumped into a daily sweeps category. The games are linked individually, of course!
| Site | Game | Prize | Prize per monthly Visitors |
| BugleGames | Monthly Sweeps | $25 Amazon certificates | 1 per 500 |
| Gamesville | Daily Sweeps Frantic Fish Hot Streak Solitaire Pit Stop Slots Super Chef Full Boil | $10 (SCFB & HSS) $25 (DS, FF & PSS) | 1 per 2,240 |
| Slingo | Daily Sweeps | $50 | 1 per 6,000 |
| FreeSlots | Monthly Sweeps | $250-$500 | 1 per 40,500 |
| GSN Oodles | Daily Sweeps | $250 | 1 per 67,000 |
| Gamesville | Weekly Sweeps | $100 | 1 per 84,000 |
| Slingo | Weekly Sweeps Merchandise Sweeps | $200 | 1 per 90,000 |
| Slingo | Monthly Sweeps | $1,000 | 1 per 120,000 |
That’s everything! I’m going to bookmark this page in the wibiya toolbar, so I can go through my daily shtuff quicker. ^_^
