THE SKEPTIC'S PAGE

Do people actually win sweepstakes? Ours do, and you can check.

Healthy skepticism is the right instinct: this space has real winners and real scams side by side. So instead of asking you to trust us, this page shows you how to audit any sweepstakes, and then hands you our own receipts: a public winner record and a draw you can cryptographically verify yourself.

The honest industry answer

Yes: legitimate sweepstakes award their prizes, and real people win them constantly. US law requires a sweepstakes to award what it advertises, and established operators do. The honest caveats: your odds depend entirely on how many entries a drawing receives, and the space also attracts outright scams: operations that were never going to pay anyone, built to harvest fees or personal information from "winners."

Which means the real question isn't "do people win sweepstakes"; it's "how do I tell the ones that pay from the ones that prey?"

Five checks that separate legit from scam

  1. You never pay to enter or to claim. Any "processing fee," "shipping charge," or "tax payment up front" to receive a prize is a scam, full stop. Legitimate US sweepstakes are free to enter and free to win.
  2. There's a real official rules page. Rules that name the sponsor, the prize, the dates, the eligibility and the odds language. No rules page, no entry.
  3. The sponsor is identifiable. A real company you can look up: a legal name, a website, a way to contact them.
  4. Winners are verifiable, not just claimed. "Someone won big!" is marketing. A published record of who won what, when, is evidence.
  5. The mechanics are explained. How entries are earned, how the draw works, and what your odds depend on, stated plainly, not hidden.

We run these same five checks across the whole app category and publish the scores at SweepstakeReport, our rankings publication. Every app is graded on the record, including our own. If you are here because you searched for our app by name, the direct answer, including who makes it and the two similarly named products that are not us, is on Is Chance Infinite legit?

Skeptic's FAQ

Do people actually win sweepstakes?

Yes: legitimate sweepstakes award their prizes, and real people win them constantly. The honest caveats: odds depend on how many entries a drawing receives, and the space also attracts scams that never intended to pay anyone. The fix is to favor sweepstakes that publish their rules, their winners, and how the draw works, and to walk away from any that ask for money.

Has anyone actually won Chance Infinite?

Yes. Every contest since launch has ended with a real cash winner, contacted directly and paid in full. The first winners on the record: contest 1 paid @sketchyechey $100 on July 21, 2026, drawn over 334 entries, and contest 2 paid @DelDad $100 on August 21, 2026, drawn over 4,616 entries. Every winner is published on our public winner record with their in-app handle, the amount, and the draw date, and each draw's cryptographic commit-reveal proof is published so anyone can verify the result.

How do I know a sweepstakes isn't a scam?

Five checks: you never pay to enter or to claim a prize (any "processing fee" or "tax payment up front" is a scam, full stop); there is a real official rules page naming the sponsor; the sponsor is an identifiable company you can look up; winners are verifiable, not just claimed; and the entry mechanics are explained. A sweepstakes that passes all five is structured like a legitimate one.

Do sweepstakes winners really get paid?

At legitimate operations, yes: awarding the stated prizes is what the law requires of a sweepstakes. At Chance Infinite the winner is contacted directly by phone and paid the full pool; no fees are deducted and nothing is ever charged to claim. Any operation that asks a "winner" to pay something first is not awarding a prize, it is running a scam.

What are my actual odds of winning?

In any sweepstakes, your odds are your entries divided by all entries received. Chance Infinite shows you this live on the home screen, your tickets over the contest total, and the relationship is linear: twice the tickets, twice the chance. The draw is a weighted random selection over every ticket in the contest.
