    I think it's pretty hit and miss, to be honest.

    If you care about winning a comp that much you need to keep checking back to the FB / blog / website page and see if they post the winners there. I do enter hundreds, but still manage to check back to FB pages etc, and my FB timeline to make sure I don't miss any wins.

    Rafflecopters usually have the name of the winner(s) on them, once the comp has been drawn.

    Some winner announcements have the winners name within an image and not as text and they will not show up on a search.

    twitter is easy just search for your ID - I dont get that many mentions. My @ is different from my name so I search on that too.

    For FB the best way is to keep a record of the L&S comps then check them after the closing date. I have a spreadsheet with date entered / page name / the prize / date it closes / date the comp was posted (so you can check if they announced on the comp post) If its a guessed end date I put a ? at the side.
    Thanks to those that post the comps!!

    i think all competition runners should message/mail the winners anyway

    after all , people have gone out of their way to like/share/promote. Seems only fair
