How do I know I won - keywords help

Appleisamazing

Hello Friends,

I have recently started entering on / off competitions but as part of entering all these competitions and all those subscriptions, I now get hundreds of emails daily.

I don't think I can read all of those emails daily 

Can anyone help advising me what keywords to search in my inbox. I normally search for congratulations but unsure if that is always included. I have tried searching for winner as well, but it matches at least 50-60 emails daily and doesn't seem like really a winning email.

Without checking all emails I might have missed the prize?

Thanks

use "congrat" as keyword.

 i have had winning email that say "congrats" you have won ...

\i also have a rule which says if subject line contains % send to junk

 I also get hundreds of emails most of which are sales offers etc. I scan down the list at the title then mass delete if there is not a congratulations, winner etc in the title

I use yahoo for email and use filters which send emails with key words to a separate folder that I have named comping. This should work for most emails but I don't have experience of filters on others so not sure how they work.

Key words I use are winner, congratulations, chosen, you have won and been chosen. I have them set for both subject and body. 

There may have been an odd one that slipped through but I can't really remember if there has or not. It works well for me and normally you can tell when scrolling through if it is a winning email. My main folder i just scroll through ticking the ones I want to delete then mass delete them.

I also get hundreds of emails a day but don't find it that difficult as I have 7 different main emails and 4 aliases used for different types of comps, I also have 2 other emails that are used for regs to various sites and use those for comps on those sites , eg jet2, waitrose and others that are used for more than just comping.

I should point out that I have gotten rid of about 20 different email addys over the years. I also have 2 comp phone numbers.

I have one Yahoo email and a robust set of filters. Any wins always go into either the inbox or conrgratulations sections. I have a filter for newsletters and can't ever remember a win ever going into that, so I just do a quick scan and delete. I've just counted and I have 10 filters for different things, which works well. Setting it all up was a pain though, but it was worthwhile doing.

 I need to do the rules thing. I have a separate yahoo email for competitions but get hundreds of emails a day. I will dig around and see if i can figure out how to set up rules
