Prize Desk

Free raffle and prize draw tool

Let your winners pick their own prizes.

Collect entries, draw the winners, and let each winner choose their own prize from what is left.

No account, no card, no download. Free to use.

Prize selection

Draw the winners. Let them choose the prizes.

Picking the winners is the easy half. The afternoon goes on the half nobody warns you about: thirty winners, forty donated prizes, and somebody working out who gets what over voicemail. Prize Desk hands that job to the winners themselves.

  1. 1

    Draw your winners

    On the wheel, from entries collected online or a list you paste in.

  2. 2

    Each winner gets a private link

    You send them however you already talk to people. There is no sign-up and no app.

  3. 3

    They choose from the live pool

    They see every prize still going, with photos, and take the one they actually want.

  4. 4

    Once a prize is gone, it is gone

    It disappears from everyone else’s list the moment it is taken, so nothing is promised twice.

What a winner sees. The list refreshes on its own, so a prize taken while they are still deciding is marked gone in front of them.

  • No ring-round on a Sunday afternoon
  • No prize promised to two people
  • No spreadsheet of who has been offered what
  • No guessing which prize somebody would rather have

Three tools in one

Use all three together to run a raffle end to end, or take the one you need and ignore the others. Nothing depends on the step before it.

1

Collect entries

One link, and people enter themselves.

Put it on a poster, a QR code, a Facebook post or an email. Names, emails and phone numbers land in your list as they come in. Duplicate entries are caught automatically.

Skip it if you sold paper tickets and already have your list.

Set up an entry link

2

Draw the winners

Paste any list of names and spin the wheel.

It works on its own, with no raffle set up and nothing saved: paste a column from a spreadsheet, choose how many winners you need, and draw. Winners are picked with a cryptographic random number generator, and you can issue a certificate proving the list was not edited afterwards.

Use this on its own for a staff prize, a competition winner or a rota.

3

Let winners choose their prize

The part nobody else does.

List what you have collected, with photos if you like. Every winner gets a private link and takes the prize they actually want, first come, first served. The moment one goes it disappears for everyone else, so nothing is promised twice.

Skip it if you only have one prize and one winner.

What people use it for

Workplace and staff prizes

A Christmas draw with a table of prizes, or a thank you for the team. Different rules apply at work, so we set them out.

Read the guide

Multi-brand giveaways

Several brands each put up a prize, one entry pool, several winners. Each picks their own, so no brand is left over.

Brand and influencer draws

Free to enter, drawn at random, with evidence you can produce if anyone asks how the winner was chosen.

Read the guide

Anything that needs one name pulled out

Staff prizes, a rota, who gets the spare ticket. Paste the names in and draw. Nothing to set up.

You do not have to retype anything

Wherever your list already lives, you can paste it straight in. Select the column in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers, copy it, and drop it into the box. Extra columns do not matter: email addresses, phone numbers and ticket numbers are picked out automatically, in whatever order they happen to be.

Sarah Whitfield, sarah@example.com, 41
Joe Bloggs, 07700 900123
Mark Ellis x6
Helen Doyle, helen@example.org, 3 tickets

That reads as four people holding thirteen tickets between them. Mark and Helen bought more than one, so they get more than one chance, which is what a raffle ticket is for.

What it costs

Nothing. Prize Desk is free at the moment, with no limit on entrants, prizes or winners, and no card details asked for at any point.

It never sells tickets and never touches the money, so it does not change which set of rules your draw falls under. If you are charging for entry, start with the guide to the rules.

Guides, free to read either way

Written to be useful on their own. You should be able to read one, run your draw from it, and never touch the tool.

Ready when you are

Setting a draw up takes about a minute, and there is no account to create. If all you need today is one name out of a hat, the wheel works on its own with nothing saved.
