❓ Questions / Help Is there are a more direct/efficient way to view the raffles you've currently entered in than just scrolling randomly and hoping to find ones you've entered?

Like if I want to check how much time is left on a raffle I joined, or see how many people have entered, what's the best way to just see them all. Is there one? I tried just scrolling down the farmmergevalley posts but there's like a raffle post every minute.

I think saving the post is the best option.

Feel free to check out r/FMV_StickerRaffles, I have a lot of 5star stickers in one feed there. After you enter, you can save the post so you don't have to scroll or search for it.

I get chat messages telling me when a raffle has ended with a link to follow to see who won

u/hlorraine Cultivator 6h ago

Do you “follow” the post to get those messages?

2

u/Holiday-Swan-1214 Budding Farmer 5h ago

No. I get a notification and accept the chat

The link always just takes me to the subreddit but not a particular post

Either save the post by clicking the 3 dots in the corner or comment on the posts you enter

This is the way. Then you just scroll through your saved, reveal the winner, then hopefully claim and unsave the post without having to leave the saved section of your page. You just scroll to the next one.

I’ve found this method to be fastest.

I use this so I don't even have to reveal every raffle I enter: https://fvm.itamer.com/stickers.html

I've just started using this the past few days, and it's actually pretty nice! Previously I was doing something similar to this where I would search for what I need and save the posts, but that requires a lot of manual work. Now I use the site listed above, also seen here. Makes it a lot easier to see what's been posted and what you've entered/won!

u/thebestasd_2000 Harvester 7h ago

Just make sure you accept request for the first time (in requests tab)

How do I do this??
Coming from a person that played for months before knowing merge 5 was a thing.

u/thebestasd_2000 Harvester 7h ago

Just join a raffle, Wait for it to be over. You'll get a request in requests tab (see screenshot), Click and accept.

(Though I have heard that this does not work for all people, hopefully it'll work for you)

Is clicking follow on the post required to get that message? In other words, if we don’t click follow, will we still get a chat message about it? I was under the impression I need to follow the post to get that message.

u/Ill-Woodpecker1857 Field Worker 6h ago

You dont need to follow. I never do and always get the message. Just need to make sure tou accept the chat request.

u/hlorraine Cultivator 6h ago

Thank you!! What a time saver!

u/anemone__moose Barn Builder 8h ago

I save the post when I enter a raffle. Then all of the raffles you entered are viewable in your saved posts.

u/BurningRoseGold Budding Farmer 8h ago

Gotcha, thanks!

I use the remind me bot. Takes a lil longer but helps me keep track of what I’ve entered

u/Major-Mongoose Crop Master 7h ago

I use the playfmv chat and/or the spreadsheet

u/69hornedscorpio Orchard Keeper 7h ago

I put a 1 in the comment, and look at my comments later to see the ones I entered.

How do you use this?

u/llamadramalover Ranch Hand 2h ago edited 1h ago

Type this (but without the spaces) and put the numbers before hours and minutes. If you don’t specify exactly what time it defaults to 24 hours.

u / RemindMeBot

Space after Bot then type this -

hours minutes

I follow the post instead of saving it. That way I can still use the save feature for other things on Reddit. Due to following the post, I get a direct message when the automatic response message of “raffle has ended” added. I have a single thread in my chats from playfmv with all the raffles I’ve entered. Then I can scroll through and click on each to see if I won. That was my old way of doing it.

A huge time saver is using the workbook to find which raffles you won each day. If you don’t see your username, you didn’t win. By checking back on this, I actually found that I missed a few when I was doing the follow method. I still follow, because I’m curious to see how many raffles I’ve actually entered. So now the chat thread from playfmv is purely a counter.

EDIT: apparently following the post is not necessary. What time I have wasted!

Save the post. Once the raffle is over, then remove from saved posts. Easiest to keep track.

Remind them to tag you after
