  Having never played these before can someone tell me where one can find the winners of the sweeps please. I appreciate the winners will probably get a notification , but are these winners names then published anywhere and if so where ? Thank you

  In the past they did announce who won but that stopped a while ago.  Try sweepstake winners in the search box and you'll see.

  I am actually the one that closes it out each month and pick the winners. I keep a spreadsheet internally on who wins what each month, I can start announcing them next month when they're all said and done. I didn't know they used to announce them, otherwise I'd bring that back. 

  I roll a random number based on the amount of entries and pick them. The only times I go away from that is if it's an account that has issues or has a bad name.

  Sorry Lesley I was probably being thick (you didn't change the title of this thread did you? Lol)  You mean like "May Manele sweeps" etc?

  Try this WGT - Virtual Golf Tournament Results for the results but not the prize-winners.

  Edit: And sorry Nico I was thinking of more of winners of bigger sweepstakes like these, I don't know if these one's were published or not.

  Does it matter though, if people enter a competition with a prize is to know who won that prize not the least they deserve?  I know it's not quite that simple and that thread shows the conspiracy theories there may be, but I still reckon entrants should have the result available to see.

  I didn’t  t change the title , dodgy , and I do mean the ones like you mention. I just haven’t ever played them and would be interested to see the winners , that’s all .
