A Lucky Draw That Looks Like It Belongs At A Professional Event.
Months of planning, a proper AV setup, six hundred guests. And then a free web spinner with somebody else's watermark goes up on the ballroom screen.

Lucky Draw Software With Your Name On It
If you want to do this in a spreadsheet first, we wrote that up too, with a free template: how to run a lucky draw in Excel. GamesTally Draw is USD 1,000, paid once. There is no per-event fee and no annual licence, so the dinner and dance you run every December costs you nothing after the first one. It is also the cheapest way into the range: plenty of agencies start here and add GamesTally Score when the scoring side starts hurting.

Load The Prizes. Draw Them All.
Set your prize list up once, grand prize down to the consolation stack. Then draw however the run sheet needs it: one at a time on stage for the big ones, fifty at once for the prizes nobody's walking up for.
The animation is the easy part. What makes a draw survive a live ballroom is everything around it. Knowing who has already won. Knowing which prize is next. Being able to redraw when the winner left after dessert. Having a log you can hand to HR on Monday.
The demo here won't draw the same person twice and writes every result to the log as it goes. That behaviour is the whole point.
Event reality
The Problems Nobody Puts In A Brief
“We need to pre-draw 80 prizes.”
Do you though? Predraws exist because drawing 80 prizes live would eat 40 minutes of a run sheet that doesn't have 40 minutes in it. Load your prize list, draw multiple winners in one go, and the whole ritual disappears. No spreadsheet the night before, no envelope of names, no cross-checking a printed list against a screen at 9pm.
“Did this person already win?”
Winner history is maintained so the answer comes from the system rather than from three people trying to remember the second course.
“Who won prize 36?”
An automatic prize log. The organiser shouldn't be relying on handwritten notes that get moved when the table is cleared.
“The name list has duplicates.”
Where technically supported, duplicate entries can be identified or flagged before the draw begins, rather than discovered when a name comes up twice.
“The ballroom Wi-Fi is bad.”
Venue connectivity is a real operational risk, and we treat it as a design consideration rather than an assumption. Where technically feasible we explore local storage, caching, connection indicators and local network deployment. We will not promise full offline operation unless it has genuinely been developed for your system, that's a scoping conversation, not a marketing claim.
Because ballroom Wi-Fi shouldn't decide whether your lucky draw works.

Common Questions About GamesTally Draw
How do you stop the same person winning twice?
Winners are removed from the pool as they are drawn, so a name cannot come up again.
You can deliberately allow repeat wins if a client wants that, but it is off unless you turn it on.
Can we draw multiple winners at once?
Yes. One name on stage for the grand prize, or fifty at once for the consolation tier.
Both matter. Drawing fifty consolation winners one at a time is how a room loses interest.
Can we still do a pre-draw?
Yes. Some prizes have to be settled before the night, usually because the winner needs to be told in advance or the prize needs collecting.
Pre-drawn results are held and revealed in the running order you set, alongside the live draws.
What happens if the venue Wi-Fi is bad?
Venue connectivity is a real operational risk, and we treat it as a design consideration rather than an assumption.
Where technically feasible we explore local storage, caching, connection indicators and local network deployment. We will not promise full offline operation unless it has genuinely been developed for your system, that's a scoping conversation, not a marketing claim.
Do we get a log of who won what?
Yes, written automatically as each draw resolves.
That answers the question that always arrives two days later, when somebody in HR asks who won prize thirty-six.
Can we put our own branding on it?
Yes, yours or your client's, on the ballroom screen.
The alternative is a free web spinner with a stranger's watermark on it, in front of six hundred guests, after months of planning.
Can the name list have duplicates in it?
Staff lists usually do. Tell us how you want duplicates treated and it is set up that way for your build, rather than being something you clean by hand before every draw.
Staff lists come out of HR systems with the same person listed twice under two spellings. Fixing it by hand at eleven at night is not a good use of anyone.
