What it is

While your giveaway runs, its page shows the tickets and the draw time. You can add tickets by hand and see every ticket. At draw time, the app picks a winner at random (by chance). Then you call the winner and mark when they collect the prize. To set up a giveaway, see Run a giveaway.

Find it

  1. Tap Settings in the bar at the bottom.
  2. Scroll down to Promos & reviews.
  3. Tap Giveaways.

On a computer, Settings is in the bar on the left.

Senior managers and managers do not have Settings. While a giveaway runs, they use the giveaway card on the order board:

  1. Open the order board (the Orders tab).
  2. Tap the giveaway name on the card near the top.

Giveaway card on the order board

While a giveaway runs, a card shows near the top of your order board. It shows the giveaway name and a line like "Day 2 · 41 tickets · 21:00". When tickets are paused, it says "Tickets paused".

Tap + Ticket on the card to add a ticket. See Add a ticket below.

At the draw time, the card grows for the owner, senior managers and managers. It says "It's 21:00. Time to draw." Tap Draw now to go to the draw.

Staff see the card. They see + Ticket when Staff can add tickets is on. They cannot open the giveaway page.

Tonight's draw

This card is at the top of the giveaway page for an Every night giveaway. It shows:

  • the number of tickets, like "41 tickets so far"
  • the draw time, and how long until it, like "in 2h 14m". At the draw time it says "time to draw".
  • where tickets came from: Stall QR, Shop page and Added by hand. Stall QR means people scanned your printed QR code (a square code that a phone camera can read).
  • tonight's prize
  • Draw now and + Ticket

Until someone has a ticket, the app says "Draw now shows once someone has a ticket."

After tonight's draw, the card shows the next night, like Day 3 draw.

Before the first day, this card is called Before it starts and has a Print the QR button. See Run a giveaway.

Under it, a card like 9 nights shows the winners, newest first. Each winner shows Collected or To collect. Tap a winner to open their details.

At the bottom, a line says where new tickets go, like "Tickets after 21:00 go into Fri 23 Oct's draw."

The draw (one draw)

For a One draw giveaway, the top card is called The draw. On the draw day, it is called Today's draw. Before the draw day, it says on which day Draw now shows.

With more than one prize, the button names the next prize, like Draw 3rd prize or Draw the 2nd prize. You draw the smallest prize first and the 1st prize last. When you start drawing, tickets close.

Under it, a card like 3 prizes lists each prize. Under each one, it says "Not drawn yet", "Up next" or the winner. If there are fewer tickets than prizes, the smallest prizes say "Not drawn: fewer tickets than prizes".

Add a ticket
