Running a social media contest, product raffle, or subscriber giveaway is a proven way to boost engagement. However, choosing a winner in a way that feels 100% fair and transparent to your audience is crucial.
In this article, we explain how to execute a clean giveaway winner draw using our specialized giveaway picker tool.
1. Collecting and Preparing Your Entrant List
Before spinning the wheel, assemble your participant list cleanly:
- Export your giveaway comments, form submissions, or ticket numbers into a spreadsheet or plain text document.
- Filter out invalid duplicate entries if your contest rules allow only one entry per person.
- Paste the final participant list directly into the wheel using Bulk Edit mode.
Use our dedicated Giveaway Picker with celebratory winner announcements and instant winner removal.
2. Ensuring Auditable and Live Drawings
To build maximum trust with your community, record your screen while spinning the wheel or stream the draw live on social platforms.
When the wheel lands on a winner, announce their name clearly and use the built-in winner confetti modal to record proof of victory.
3. Drawing Alternate Winners
Sometimes a drawn winner fails to claim their prize within the required time frame. Always draw 1-2 alternate winners during your initial session by clicking 'Remove Winner' and spinning again.
