No ticket sales, no payments, and no prizes are handled in this app. It just picks a name.
Raffle Draw is the digital version of pulling a folded slip out of a hat. Type a list of names, close entries, tap Draw. One name appears, set in a serif big enough to read from the back of the hall.
WHY PEOPLE USE IT
• School fundraisers and class prize days
• Team banquets and end-of-season awards
• Office potlucks, book clubs, committee duties
• Any moment where somebody has to be picked and nobody should be able to argue with it
PASTE THE WHOLE LIST
Type names one at a time if you like, but you probably won't. Paste a class list, a sign-up sheet or a roster — one name per line, or comma separated — and it splits into entries. Save a list for each class or team and load it again next week.
THE DRAW SHOWS ITS WORKING
Before the draw, the app publishes a fingerprint of the random seed it is about to use. The seed itself is revealed afterwards. Because the fingerprint was fixed first, nobody could keep re-rolling until they liked the answer — and anyone can check it. Tap "How this was drawn" on the reveal to see the three checks, and the numbers behind them.
MAKE GROUPS TOO
Deal everyone into 2 to 6 teams with the same fair shuffle, round-robin so group sizes differ by at most one. Or replace the names with numbers — 1–10 up to 1–100 — when you just need a number drawn.
FREE, AND WHAT THE UNLOCK ADDS
Thirty names free, which is a whole classroom. A single $4.99 payment — no subscription, no ads, no accounts — adds unlimited names, weighted tickets, drawing several winners at once, and live rooms where guests type their own names on their own phones.
Tickets are integer weights a host sets for their own reasons. They cannot be bought, and the unlock never grants entries or improves anyone's chance in a draw.
PRIVACY
No accounts, no analytics, no advertising identifiers. Names stay on your device unless you open a live room, and a room's contents are deleted twelve hours after the last change.
Pick a name fairly at a fundraiser, class or team night. No money, ever.
