Run the main winner draw

RaffleWP focuses on creating raffles, allocating entries and presenting results. You decide how to conduct the draw. If you use the optional built-in selector, open RaffleWP → Winners, choose a giveaway, set the Number of winners and optional Prize label, then confirm that every valid postal entry received by the deadline has been processed.

  • The built-in selector refuses to run before the configured closing time.
  • Eligible entries are confirmed and instant-win tickets that are not already main winners.
  • The page shows the eligible paid and postal counts plus a pool fingerprint.
  • The selector uses PHP random_int() in a Fisher–Yates shuffle and records an audit summary.
  • Replace existing main winners clears current main winners and cancels their main-draw award records before drawing again.

The selector is an optional operator tool. RaffleWP does not prescribe a draw method; use the method and evidence required by your published rules.
