FAQ
- How do I pick a raffle winner fairly?
- Paste every eligible entrant once (or with ticket weight), keep the list visible, then spin. Use Elimination Mode if you will draw multiple winners in sequence.
- What is the difference between Raffle Spin Wheel and Prize Wheel?
- Raffle Spin Wheel selects people (who won). Prize Wheel selects prizes (what they win). Use raffle for entrants; use prize wheel when rewards themselves are on the slices.
- Can I remove a winner and keep drawing?
- Yes. Turn on Elimination / Remove winner after spin so each winner leaves the pool before the next draw.
- Can the same person have more than one chance?
- Yes. Add duplicate name lines or raise that person’s weight so they get more tickets on the wheel.
- Can I share raffle results?
- Yes. After you have draw history, use Share results to copy a link or show a QR code. Recipients see the winner order and prize labels without your remaining entrant list.
- Can I generate numbered tickets?
- Yes. Open Ticket tools to generate Ticket 01–N, or expand existing weights into duplicate equal tickets. Export winners as CSV when you need a spreadsheet record.
- Is this free to use?
- Yes. You can run raffle draws in the browser without creating an account.
