Were you going by the amount of shares fb told you there were or did you have a known amount of people who were involved in your experiment?

To be on the safe side, I'd aim for towards the end if possible but not stress about it too much. As for the number of times you share, I think that depends on how they choose the winner. If they are being really unscientific and just scrolling through the shares, just stopping at random, then the more often you share, the better your chances. But if they are doing it properly and entering them into a spreadsheet and using a random number generator to pick, then they'll probably only enter each name once. That's more likely if they've asked you to share as well as doing something else like liking or commenting, as they will want to use a spreadsheet to check that entrants have done everything they were asked to.
