honestly the biggest factor to win a giveaway is where you come from. Being active in picky, such as writing reviews or posting in discussions, is just a supporting factor. It doesn't even matter whether you're a newbie, picky squad or super picky squad, there's no difference in your chances of winning. And of course this is also not picky's fault, because the brand is the one who determines the target country they want. For me, who lives in Indonesia, I prefer joining giveaways that are specifically for Indonesian citizens or mega giveaways with thousands of winners. For global giveaways I rarely participate, because I know that although it is written that all users can participate, only certain countries will be selected, Indonesia is rarely included. I just hope that picky will list which countries have the opportunity to enter the giveaway, I don't want to waste my points.

As much as I agree on this, I believe the giveaway winners are chosen at random π₯Ί I'm the game character that probably has D stats in luck so π I almost never get chosen for Picky giveaways unless its a super big one like the Commonlabs one.
I'm still grateful for the opportunities though π But I really do hope that the Picky team will at least filter their entries more, because people would join the app and comment basic things just to get enough points to join giveaways (and they still win). I literally see people commenting 'nice' 'great' on discussions just for the points π

I don't think it's random. It definitely depends on the country, but I think maybe also on what products we tried and how we liked them.
Is it more likely that the brand says we want 100 random winners or 100 winners from this country who liked one of these products?

I recently just discovered that on some giveaways, your location matters. Like the one from the recent make p:rem, almost all winners came from the US. As well as the neogen and the medicube, US residents. I think no one from Asian countries won. I believe they're picked randomly but they are from specific countries.

I think so too because whenever I see the winners, they're mostly from the US. I hope the brands will list out the countries which are eligible for the giveaway so that other users don't waste their points.

yes I agree w u on this, at least Picky should make a note if the giveaway is only for specific state. as in neogen, medicube or make prem, three of them dont have any note but most winners are from US

True. Most of the giveaway winners are from the US. There are rarely any Asian winners. Brands need to be more transparent. If they're planning to choose the winners only from a specific region, they should mention that beforehand so that we don't end up wasting our points.

Lowkey agreed with you but yes, as RubyonWings said, the giveaway winners are randomly chosen. I'm also quite unlucky when it comes to giveaway π€£ Ever since I joined Picky last year, I've only won 1 giveaway from Ruruberry and no luck in other giveaways. Since Picky doesn't handle the shippings, I believe it's up to the brand itself to decide if they can ship to our country or not. And maybe that's why you keep on seeing winners from the same region/country. Don't worry as there will always be a chance for you to win the giveaway. If you're lucky, Picky always do a giveaway specifically for one country, just like ByEcom and Klairs giveaway recently. Maybe if your country is selected, you can have a higher chance to win the giveaway ππ€

I hope you get to win more giveaways!! Good luck β€οΈ
I keep seeing that most of the winners are from US. And I rarely see anyone from Asian countries winning more giveaways. I hope there are more chances for us! β€οΈ
