Does every entry have an equal chance of winning the Lucky Draw? - Lucky Draw Plus FAQ


Yes. The winner is picked randomly from the full list of entries. Say you have an entries list with 100 entries, the winner will be picked randomly from the full list, so each entry has a 1/100 chance of winning.

If you want some entrants to have a higher chance of winning, repeat their entries in your list. For example, you have 100 comments on your social media post. 10 of them came from User1. Repeat User1 10 times in your entries list - now they have a 10/100 or 1/10 chance of winning.

 

If you are doing multiple draws at one event, say for first, second and third prize, then you can use the 'Remove winner from list after draw' feature if you do not want the same winner to win twice.
