Before selecting winners #
Before selecting winners, review the campaign carefully.
Check:

- Participants and entries look correct.
- Ticket numbers are assigned correctly.
- Test entries are removed or handled properly if needed.

Review participants first #
Before using winner tools, open:

Select the giveaway and review entries, tickets, customers, and order activity.
This helps confirm that the winner selection is based on the correct participant data.
Winner selection #
PrizeSuite may include tools for selecting or managing winners depending on your campaign setup.
Winner selection can depend on:
- Giveaway status
- Campaign end date
- Ticket availability
- Entry status
- Instant win settings
- Campaign rules
Follow your giveaway rules and local legal requirements when selecting or announcing winners.
Instant win results #
If Instant Win is enabled for a campaign, some winners may be determined by instant win rules instead of only final draw selection.
Review instant win activity carefully before announcing winners.

After winners are selected, review the winner information before publishing or sharing it.
Check:
- Winner name or customer identity
- Giveaway name
- Ticket or entry information
- Winner status
- Announcement readiness
- Customer communication needs
Customer-facing winner pages #
PrizeSuite can include a Winners storefront page where winner announcements or results are displayed.
To use this page, make sure the Winners page is created and the PrizeSuite Winners theme block is added to the correct page template.
