LuckySearch and Win! Win with your friends when you search!

Getting Started

What is LuckySearch

LuckySearch is a search engine you can use to find anything online – news, information, entertainment, gifts – anything you might be looking for. Every time you search you have the chance to win (up to 25 searches daily) valuable points you can redeem for a variety of great rewards. LuckySearch results come from one of the major search engines, so you’ll receive the same high-quality results you expect.

Is LuckySearch another "Social Network"?

No, LuckySearch is not another social network. You will want to invite people you know to LuckySearch so you can increase your chances of winning and earn big rewards, but you can do that using your primary social network like MySpace, Facebook, or Hi5. Besides connecting with your referrals on LuckySearch, there isn’t a lot of “social” functionality.

Does it cost anything to use LuckySearch?

No there is no cost. The service is free! You will sometimes see advertisements from our partners, but there is no obligation to participate in those offers.

How do I win?

Use LuckySearch just like any other search engine. You’ll get the same great results you’d expect from any other search engine. Every time you search, you have a chance to win. If you win, you will be notified right on your screen immediately after you search.

You must be logged into your account to win, and only your first 25 searches per day count towards your winnings. We have limited the number of searches per person to limit abuse and make sure that the service isn’t used for purposes other than normal searching (it’s not a slot machine!)

What do I search for?

You can search for anything! Enter a term you’re interested in, and you’re on your way!

How is a winner selected?

Every day is a new “contest”. You can see the number of available winning slots for the day in the Official Rules (these contest numbers are updated daily). For each contest, a computer has randomly selected times. If you do a search at the particular time the computer has randomly selected for that day, then you win!

What are my chances of winning?

Your chances of winning depend on how often you search, and how many friends you recruited to the service and how many other people are using the system. The people that win the most are the people with the most people in their Network, because when someone you recruited wins, you win the same prize too.

There are many opportunities to win each day. See the Winners Board for a list of our recent winners.

Do I have to register to win?

You have to register with an email address and password to win. In order to redeem your points for a reward, you also have to validate your email and postal address.

For larger items, like the cars, you will have to fill out special forms required by the government. Your information will never be shared with third parties without your permission. Read our privacy policy for more information.

Will I receive spam from signing up?

No, you will not receive spam. You will only receive emails from us pertaining to your account, and you can manager your communication preferences in your profile.

Why do you ask me for my email address?

We use your email to send you information regarding your account, special offers and rewards you have redeemed. You will use it to sign in to your account.

However, there are some practical constraints. You only have as many chances as there are in a day, and you only get credit for your first 25 searches. You can increase your chances by recruiting people you know to LuckySearch, because each of them can search too, and when they win, you win.
