Chose your battles : If you see a giveaway for a large and popular game with 5000 participants and 2 or 3 weeks left for more participants to join, your odds of winning will be very slim.
But if you see a giveaway for a game with only a few hundred participants with a mere 30 or 60 minutes left for last-minute participant, your odds of winning will be much better.
Once you've won a few games, you might consider giving some yourself, and earn CV points that will allow you to level up. Giveaways available at higher levels have better odds of winning: a Level 1 giveaway means no one at Level 0 (aka most members) can participate, so your odds will be a lot higher.

Also, you need to participate in A LOT of giveaways. If the average giveaway gives you a 1/500 odds of winning, that means that mathematically speaking, you would need to participate if 500 giveaways to win once.
Of course, someone famous once said "Never tell me the odds!"

Shameless bump for this, but +1,000,000 for the avatar. I LOVE MR. Pickles.

33,334 entries and won 164 games in my 4 years here. There are times people have droughts when they don't win. I'm on a month and a half now since I last won. And I feel that I have won a fair share and am not disappointed.
Then you get some people here that haven't won in a year or more.
It takes time, entries in more than what your wishlist is, and groups. Also, try to be nice so some people might whitelist you for private GA's.
And in case you ever wanted to see, this is what will pop onto your screen when it happens.
Bonus for us in the know. :P
