Picking a winner for your prize draw

How you can use your entrants report to pick a winner

Updated over 4 months ago

Congratulations on running a successful prize draw!

It is easy to select a winner at random using your 'Entrants' report. To do this, go to the Reports tab of your project dashboard and choose the 'Entrants' option, adjust the timeframe to ensure you cover your whole prize draw and then download the file.

This will download as a CSV file, and will contain the following:

  • Entry ID

  • Supporter name

  • Supporter email

  • Entry date

There will be one row per entry, i.e. if a supporter buys 5 entries, there will be 5 rows with that supporter’s information on them.

To pick a winner we suggest using a random number generator like this one: https://www.gigacalculator.com/calculators/random-number-generator.php

Put your number range which is the total number of entries into the generator, and the number it chooses is your prize draw winner! You can then find their contact email in the entries list to arrange the delivery of the prize. You can do this multiple times if you have multiple winners.
