🏆 How to Set Up Your Raffle Generator Wheel

Prize-Based Raffle (Default Mode)

Perfect when you have multiple prize tiers and want the wheel to randomly select which prize level gets drawn next.

Setup Steps:

1. Click Edit to customize the wheel
2. Add your prize tiers (Grand Prize, Runner-Up, Consolation, etc.)
3. Adjust weights to control probability:
   • Grand Prize (weight: 1) = Rare, exciting win
   • 2nd/3rd Prize (weight: 2) = Medium probability
   • Consolation Prize (weight: 5) = More frequent small wins
   • Better Luck Next Time (weight: 10) = Most common result
4. Spin to determine which prize tier to award
5. After determining the prize, draw the winner's name separately

Pro Tip: Use different weights to create excitement. Make grand prizes rare (weight 1-2) so when they appear, everyone goes wild!

Name-Based Raffle (Participant Mode)

Perfect when you want to directly pick which participant wins.

Setup Steps:

1. Click Edit to open the configuration
2. Replace prize names with participant names or ticket numbers
3. Set all weights to 1 for equal probability (or adjust for weighted entries—like giving someone who bought 5 tickets a weight of 5)
4. Spin to directly select the winner
5. Enable Elimination Mode if you're picking multiple winners and don't want duplicates

Example Entries:

• Ticket #001 - John Smith
• Ticket #042 - Sarah Johnson
• Ticket #157 - Michael Chen
• Ticket #283 - Emily Rodriguez

Dual-Wheel Raffle (Advanced Mode)

The most flexible approach: one wheel picks the participant, another picks their prize.

Setup:

1. Create your first wheel with all participant names
2. Add a second wheel (click "Add Wheel") with all available prizes
3. Spin both wheels simultaneously to match winner with prize
4. Use elimination mode on the winner wheel to avoid duplicate winners

Perfect for:

• Corporate raffles with tiered prizes (not everyone gets the same prize)
• Mystery prize giveaways (winners don't know what they'll get until both wheels stop)
• Multi-round drawings with decreasing prize pools

🎯 Raffle Best Practices & Tips

Transparency Builds Trust

Display the Wheel Publicly: Project it on a screen or share your screen during virtual events so everyone can see the random selection happen live. This builds trust and excitement.

Announce Rules Clearly: Before spinning, explain how many winners will be selected, whether duplicates are allowed, and if there's a "Better Luck Next Time" option.

Save the URL: Bookmark your configured wheel and share it before the event so participants can verify the entries are correct.

Creating Excitement

Build Anticipation: Count down before each spin: "3... 2... 1... Spin!"

Sound Effects Matter: Enable sound effects so the wheel's click-click-click builds tension as it slows down.

Multi-Round Draws: Don't give away everything at once. Spread draws throughout your event to maintain energy and keep people engaged.

Celebrate Winners: Pause after each win to announce the winner's name, congratulate them, and explain the prize before moving to the next draw.

Weighted vs. Equal Probability

Equal Probability (Weight = 1 for all)

• Every entry has identical chance
• Most fair for standard raffles
• Required by law in some jurisdictions

Weighted Probability (Variable weights)

• Useful for tiered prize systems
• Make rare prizes exciting by setting low weights
• Can reflect ticket purchase quantities (5 tickets = weight 5)
• Clearly disclose if using weighted entries!
