FAQ
How do I ensure my sweepstakes is legal?
Always include a clear link to your official rules and terms of service within the form description, and ensure you have a mandatory checkbox for participants to agree to these terms.
Can I limit entries to one per person?
While Google Forms allows you to restrict responses to one per user, this requires the respondent to be signed into a Google account. For public giveaways, you may need to manually filter duplicate entries in your linked spreadsheet.
How do I pick a winner from the entries?
Once your form is closed, you can export your responses to a Google Sheet and use a random number generator or a simple formula to select a winner from your list of entries.
Can I collect photos or creative entries?
Google Forms does not support direct file uploads. For creative contests, ask participants to provide a link to their submission hosted on a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox.
