Remove winner from list after draw - Lucky Draw Plus feature

Remove winner from list after draw

When you load your entries file, if you put this setting on, your winner will be removed from the entries list after each draw, so that the same winner cannot win again if you do more than one draw.

You will see your number of entries decrease and the winner name disappear for the next draw.

How long will this last for?

This will last for your current draw session. A draw session starts when you load an entries list. Any draws that you do with that same loaded list belong to that session.

What is a draw session?

A new draw session starts each time you load an entries list. This can happen when you:

  • Load a new entries file
  • Leave the draw page, for example to go to the Settings menu
  • Log out and then in again
  • Refresh your browser

All of these will force you to load entries again, and a new draw session will start, with all your entries back in the list.

Keep in mind!

  • To ensure that the same winner cannot win twice in one draw session, put this setting on, and also make sure you have no duplicates in your entries file.

  • You may have a weighted list, with more than one entry per person. For example, Camille may be in your entries file 10 times, giving her 10 chances to win. If Camille wins, only that winning entry will be removed, and she still has 9 entries in your list, so it is possible for her to win again.

  • If you load your entries list and do a test draw, the winner of the test draw will be removed from the list. To make sure that that entry has a chance to win in your live draw, re-load the full list again before doing your live draw.
