Contact the creator of the giveaway, explain to him and see if he's okay to wait until you're back.
Whatever you do, don't mark it as received beforehand.
Or... if there's somebody you can really trust with your password (family, close friend), maybe ask him to redeem on your account ?

It's fine to mark a giveaway received before activating it, as long as it is activated after 7 days have passed since the giveaway ended

if it's an expensive game, you could even go to an internet café and activate it that way.

Remote control?
both chrome, or teamviewer. take control of your home computer.

That's assuming he has something set up on his home computer already. Kinda hard to install something on your home computer when you're already away. :P

yeah, but maybe a family member is there.
most people have house sitters or pet sitters or watering the plants on a long vacation.
just to turn it on, install something simple and leave
well, he knows if it is possible

When will you be back ? You have 7 days to activate your game

Ah yes I didn't pay attention. I guess the only solution is to contact the giveaway creator to explain the situation then.

Ask for a reroll, stop entering giveaways and enjoy your holiday.

Just like DavidSarif said,

Also although it is unlikely you win another one you should probably pull all your entries.

write to the steam support to activate the gamekey on your steam account, check the activation there and mark the win as recived.

Hi,
I have won a giveaway, but I can't reedem it at the moment, because I'm on holiday without PC and notebook. I can't activate the key via Mobile Steam. I will be back in September.
What should I do?
