We've had to find a solution for a client who's not happy with their current raffle website provider. There are 100s of raffle options/platforms, but running a 'live draw' is a real sticking point. 

 

99% of all raffle platforms have an automated winning ticket selector, which emails the winner. No good for a livestream draw. I did find 1 that, when you clicked 'Pick Winner' forwarded to a page with the winning ticket number and name, with pixel-fireworks in the background (looked dated and no 'drama' in the draw).

 

I had a look at some other raffle sites and one of the guys here enters a fishing raffle, which is a big one, 33K likes • 47K followers (they give away Land Rovers, VW camper vans, etc.). I was staggered to see their live draw, they show a spreadsheet and a random number generator!

 

We've managed to find a solution, using Ultimate Raffle for WooCommerce and a couple of other plugins to export to wheelofnames.com, but it wasn't straight forward.

 

Anyone else in the same boat, or has a better way of doing it?
