Run a fair raffle draw and show the proof
Draw each prize with one click. Every ticket is one equal chance, picked by a secure random number, and the proof is saved for anyone who asks.
Before you start
- An Owner or Admin login.
- A raffle with prizes and tickets sold.
- 1
Close sales first
Open the raffle, scroll to "Edit", set "Sales" to "Closed" and click Save. This makes sure no one buys during the draw.
Close sales before drawing. - 2
Draw the first prize
Under "Prizes & drawing" click "Draw winner" next to the prize. Confirm "Draw the winner of … now? This can't be undone."
One click per prize. - 3
See the winner
A message says e.g. "Winner: Tzvi Lerner (ticket 2 of 4)". The "Winner" column shows the name and the proof.
The winner and the proof. - 4
Read the proof
Under the winner's name: "ticket 2 of 4 · date and time · by (who drew)". Yahiv also keeps a fingerprint of the exact list of tickets it drew from.

Draw the next prizes
Click "Draw winner" on each prize. Someone who already won a prize isn't drawn again in the same raffle. When every prize is drawn, the raffle shows "Drawn".

Show it in public (optional)
Project the raffle page on the big screen while you click, so everyone sees the draw happen live.
Tips
- Voided tickets are never drawn.
- Tickets that are billed but not paid yet are in the draw — collect before the draw if your rules say only paid tickets count.
If something isn't working
"This prize was already drawn"
Someone else drew it a moment ago. Refresh the page to see the winner.
"No tickets to draw from"
No tickets were sold (or all are voided or have already won). For a Chinese auction, that prize's box is empty.
I want to redraw.
A draw can't be undone — that's what makes it fair. If you must, add the prize again and draw it.
