Lottery

A lottery is a prize draw: one winner is chosen at random from the entrants and awarded the full points.

Who can do this: Org admins create a lottery and change its entry mode. Score keepers can draw the winner and publish it.

Where: Event → Content → Challenges → Create → Lottery (under Results you enter)

  1. Click Create, pick Lottery, then click Set up Lottery.
  2. Fill in Add lottery:
    • Title, for example “Grand Prize Draw”.
    • Description (optional): what the prize is, and any rules participants should know.
    • Points awarded to the winner.
    • Entry mode: Auto-enter everyone (every active participant is entered automatically) or Tap to enter (participants tap a button in the app to enter, one entry each).
    • Opens and Closes (optional).
  3. Click Create lottery. Unlike games, a lottery is live as soon as it is created.

Open the lottery. Its Results section lists the entrants and shows Draft, not published until you publish.

  1. Click Draw winner. The winner is marked Winner in the list.
  2. Not happy with the draw? Click Redraw. Every draw is kept in the draw history.
  3. Click Publish to leaderboard. The winner gets the points on the leaderboard: “Published to leaderboard — N pts awarded.”

You need at least one entrant to draw, and a winner to publish. Once published, the draw is final.

You can switch the Entry mode in the same section until someone has entered. After that it is locked.
