Target Pokémon drawing results

Target doesn't publish a winners list. You find out by email, and only if you were picked. Here is when the emails come, what to do with one, and how the other stores tell you.

Target and the other stores open drawings without notice. Email me when one opens: $2.99

When Target sends results

Selection emails start the day entries close. For the first drawing the product page said "Check your inbox starting Nov 4", the same morning entries closed at 10:00 a.m. CT, and restock accounts reported Target selecting winners by midday that day. Emails go to the address on your Target account, so check that inbox, including spam and the Promotions tab.

If you got the email

If nothing arrived

You weren't picked this round, and Target sends no rejection email. Your entry isn't wasted: it stays active, and if Target receives more of that product it can run another round with the remaining entries. The product page still shows your entry and a Leave drawing button.

Walmart results in practice

For the November 4 batch, Walmart's drawing page said "Drawing results by Nov 07, 3:00pm PST", and the first winners were charged around midday PT on November 5. Earlier batches took between two hours (October 26) and about 31 hours (October 28) to start. Check your Walmart order history, not just your inbox.

Improving your odds next time

Every eligible entry has the same chance, so the only edge is entering every drawing you'd buy from. Target's windows are long but come without warning; Walmart's last an hour; Many Realms' closed within a day. Drawing Alerts emails you when any of them opens.
