A raffle-style draw for several prizes

The prize draw generator is for draws with more than one prize: a raffle at a school fair, an office party, a customer giveaway or a stream. Enter the prizes (top prize first) and the participants, press Draw, and every prize is assigned to a different person – nobody wins twice.

Reveal the winners one by one, from the smallest prize up to the grand prize, or show them all at once. Afterwards you get a proof certificate with the date and time, the number of entries and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the entry list; save it as an image or copy a text summary to post with the results.

How to use

  1. Enter the prizes, one per line, starting with the top prize. Write 3x Gift card for several identical prizes.
  2. Enter the participants, one entry per line (paste from a spreadsheet if you like).
  3. Keep one entry per person on to merge duplicate names, or turn it off if each line is a separate ticket.
  4. Choose reveal one by one or all at once, then press Draw.
  5. Save the certificate as PNG or copy the summary.

Ideas for using it

  • School fair raffle. ticket numbers as participants, prizes from the parents’ committee, revealed on stage.
  • Office party. a grand prize and a few smaller gifts for everyone who joined.
  • Customer giveaway. paste the entry list and post the certificate image with the results.
  • Streams. build suspense by revealing one winner at a time in fullscreen.

Tickets or people?

If each person may enter only once, keep one entry per person on: duplicate names are merged before the draw. If people can buy several tickets, turn it off and list one line per ticket (for example the ticket number or the name repeated) – each line then has the same chance, so more tickets mean better odds. Either way, a person can only win one prize when names are merged; with tickets, the same name could win twice if it appears on several lines.

Frequently asked questions

How are the winners chosen?

The entry list is shuffled with the Web Crypto API, then the first entry gets the top prize, the second entry the second prize, and so on. Every entry has the same chance for every prize.

Can the same person win two prizes?

Not when “one entry per person” is on, because each line can win only once. If you turn it off and list the same name on several lines (tickets), that name could win more than one prize.

What is the list fingerprint?

A short code calculated from the full entry list. If anyone recalculates it from the same list, they get the same code; any change to the list changes it. It helps show that the list was not edited after the draw.

How many prizes and entries can I use?

Up to 200 prizes and 20,000 entry lines. There must be at least as many entries as prizes.

Is a prize draw legal?

Rules for raffles, lotteries and prize promotions vary by country, region and platform. Check what applies to you; this tool does not give legal advice.
