That is a very good question!
As you can imagine, it depends on the sender. But here are a few I saved, mostly Instant Wins:

Here is one from a blog:
Sender: [Name of blog]
Subject Line: [ ] Giveaway Winner
First line of message: "Congratulations! You were the lucky winner chosen by random number generator to receive a gift pack..."
The one below was a one entry, or maybe a daily. The sender is a person's name. I have also had a few book wins with the individual person's name as sender - Of course the name was unfamiliar, but I looked at a preview before opening. (You can also right click on the email to get a menu and select "view message source" if you don't want to open mail from an unfamiliar sender.)
Sender: [First name, last name]

dthumbie,
There is a thread in Questions and Answers called, "weird winning email notifications to look for."
Here is the SA link: http://www.sweepsadvantage.com/foru...3-weird-winning-email-notifications-look.html
Here is the Plus link: Please login
The thread is stickied, so it is near the top of the forum. It has lots of helpful info!
thank you very helpful..im eagerly checking my emails and mail but no luck so far
You're welcome. Now that you are a sweeper, just keep checking your emails and junk/spam regularly. You get used to recognizing junk and newsletters and things. The main thing is to check regularly so that if/when you do receive a winning email, you don't miss it, or you don't find it too late to respond.
Good luck!
I would like to add that you should also set your emails to search for words/phrases like winner, you won Congrats, Congratulations and affidavit, so that it can be marked important and also to have it sent to your inbox and not your spam folder (gmail lets you do this, not sure about other email programs).
Thanks, brittles, great advice!
My pleasure!
got it setup now just witing for some wins to come in. getting discouraged lol. guess m moreimpatient than i thought lol
It might take awhile to get that first winning email and in some cases, you might just get a prize delivered with no notification. Just remember that it can take a few months before you see that first win. Good luck!
