How to enter the Qozgal raffle

Qozgal raffles: a prize for what you already do

Every month Qozgal runs a prize raffle among people who rack up steps. Entry is free, there is nothing to buy, and no lottery tickets to collect. You just walk, exactly as you planned to, and the app counts your days

And you do not need to win anything in advance or sign up by hand. As soon as you reach the needed number of active days, you automatically land in the list of participants for the current raffle

What you need to take part

The rule is simple and the same for everyone. You need to hit the daily goal, which is 10,000 steps, on ten days within a single month. Not in one go and not necessarily in a row: any ten days when you reached the goal add up in your total. The month is your window: while it runs, you collect these days at a comfortable pace, and the results are tallied at the end of the month

Entry happens on its own

You do not have to press an "enter" button. While you walk, Qozgal syncs your steps and counts how many goal days you have already collected on its own. As soon as there are ten, you join the list of participants, and you can spot yourself on the raffle page. If you want to understand why the app works this way at all, take a look at the piece on why it is worth choosing Qozgal

• You walk as usual, and your steps pull in from Apple Health or Health Connect automatically
• Every day with 10,000 steps is added to your entry total
• On the tenth such day you are already in the list of participants for the current raffle
• You can see your place and status on the raffle page in the app and on the site

Freezes save your days

A real month rarely goes strictly to plan: illness, a flight, a crunch at work. So that one day like this does not wreck your total, there are freezes. A frozen day counts as completed, so neither your streak nor your entry suffers. How this ties into habit and your streak is something we covered in the piece on the psychology of streaks

• One freeze is waiting for you right after you sign up
• Three more arrive for every friend you invite with your promo code
• A frozen day counts just the same as a day when you actually reached the goal
• That way a miss due to illness or travel does not knock you out of the raffle

Invite friends and raise your chances

Friends in Qozgal work for you twice over. For each person you invite with your promo code you get freezes, and your odds multiplier in the raffle grows too. The more friends around you, the more weight you carry when prizes are drawn. How this community works is something we covered separately

The multiplier is about a fair edge: it does not take chances away from others, it adds them to you for getting friends moving. Invite three and your weight doubles, invite more and it keeps growing. This is the fastest way to raise your odds of winning without walking extra laps. You have a single promo code, and you can share it with anyone: family, colleagues, the person on the treadmill next to you at the gym

You are not buying a lottery ticket, you are earning the right to a prize with steps that are already changing you for the better

Does this even work? What the science says

It might seem that a shot at a prize is a small thing. In reality a reward and a game element noticeably raise how much people move. This is not a marketing guess, it is a conclusion from controlled studies. Scientists have checked more than once what happens when movement earns a clear reward

And this is not a one-time burst of enthusiasm. When researchers pooled together many similar studies, the picture repeated itself

What these days are really for

A prize is a nice reason, but the most valuable part you get on the way to it. Ten days of 10,000 steps are not just a checkbox for entry, they are a real contribution to your health that stays with you regardless of how the raffle turns out. Even if the prize goes to someone else this time, your ten active days have already worked in your favor

It is more fun together

On your own it is easy to skip a couple of days, since no one will notice. In a raffle you walk alongside friends and thousands of other participants, and that spurs you on. Shared excitement and support hold you up as well as willpower, and often better. Seeing others walking beside you, and not dropping out of the shared rhythm yourself, is a source of energy all its own

How it all stays fair

The raffle is open. The list of participants and the winners are visible on the public page of every raffle: name, city, and promo code, while a gold card marks the winners. You can find yourself in the list with search, so there is no hidden kitchen, it is all in plain sight. The results of past raffles also stay available after they end, and you can always open and check them

Frequently asked questions

Start collecting your days

A raffle is a pleasant bonus on top of something that already makes you healthier. Install Qozgal, reach 10,000 steps today, and start collecting your ten days. Invite a couple of friends, and by the end of the month you will be both in the participants list and in noticeably better shape.
