Raffle guide
How the weighted raffle picker works
A weighted raffle gives people different chances based on how many tickets they hold. Enter each name with its ticket count and the picker calculates the odds automatically.
-
Add names and tickets
Type directly into the sheet or paste two columns from Excel or Google Sheets.
-
Review the calculated odds
Every ticket counts once. Hide ticket totals or percentages when you do not want them shown during the draw.
-
Choose the reveal settings
Set a reveal time from 1 to 60 seconds and hide ticket counts or odds if they should stay private on the display.
-
Review and start the draw
Select Draw winner, verify every entrant on the overview, then select Draw winner again to choose the winner and begin the countdown.
What makes the weighted draw fair?
The picker uses the browser's cryptographic random number generator to select one ticket from the complete ticket range. A person with 10 tickets has exactly twice the chance of a person with 5. The winner is selected before the reveal animation begins.
Common questions
Raffle picker FAQ
How are weighted raffle odds calculated?
Divide a person's tickets by the total number of tickets. For example, 10 tickets out of 100 gives that person a 10% chance.
Can I paste entries from Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Copy a Name column and a Tickets column, then paste them into the first name cell. A Name and Tickets header row is recognized automatically.
Can the same person appear on more than one row?
Yes, but combining that person's tickets on one row makes the overview easier to verify. Separate rows still contribute their ticket counts independently.
When is the winner actually chosen?
The winner is chosen when you press Draw winner on the overview. The countdown starts only after that secure selection is complete.
Are names and ticket counts uploaded?
Raffle entries are processed in your browser and never uploaded. They are not saved by default. You can turn on Remember on this device or download a local JSON backup.
