Check your junk/spam every day in case a 'Congratulations you're a winner' one has snuck in there, but ignore the ones with links to click which declare you have been

Read every email you get as i nearly missed one of my wins as the subject didn't make it clear also remember that you may have entered a lot but they may not close for a while - i've only been doing it a month but having looked back through the forums a lot of the ones i have entered are still open despite having filled them in a few weeks ago.
