The lucky draw, on the big screen.
Illustration in the style of our free lucky draw wheel. In SOURems the draw screen is a slot machine or a countdown on your own background; the guests are made up.

Why draw from the people who checked in.
The emcee never calls an empty chair.
No winners who went home
Guests who didn't come, or haven't arrived, aren't in the pool.
One person, one chance
Every entry is a named ticket holder, and past winners sit out later rounds.
Prizes for the people who stayed
The draw rewards the guests who came and stayed for the night, which is the point of a company draw.

Lucky draw questions
Tell us about your event and we will show you a draw running from your own guest list.
What is a lucky draw system?+
Software that picks prize winners at random from a list of entrants and reveals them on a big screen. In SOURems the list is your event's ticket holders, so the draw can be limited to the guests who checked in.
Can the draw pick only guests who checked in?+
Yes. Set Ticket Eligibility to Only Checked-In Tickets. Guests who haven't been scanned in at the door can't win.
What if a winner has already left?+
Use Generate Winners instead of Live Draw. You see the names before the room does, tick the winners who are present and display only those.
Can the same person win twice?+
Not by default: a ticket that has won sits out later draws in the same session. Turn on Repeatable Winners to allow it.
Can I use a list from outside SOURems?+
Yes. Choose CSV List as the source and upload up to 1,000 names, with company if you want it shown. Useful for contest entries or a guest list from another system.
How many winners can I draw at once?+
One to ten per round, and as many rounds as your prizes need. The slot machine stops on each winner in turn; the countdown counts down from five, then reveals the round.
Can I brand the draw screen?+
Yes: your own background image (16:9, 1920 by 1080 recommended), a light or dark title style, winners' company names and an optional celebration sound.
Is the lucky draw in every plan?+
Yes, from Simplified up. Each draw you create uses one unit of your event's licence, and your quote covers the number you need. See pricing.
Is a lucky draw legal in Malaysia?+
It depends on how people enter and whether they pay. Our lucky draw prize guide summarises the Lotteries Act 1952, the fatwa rulings and the tax treatment of prizes, with sources.
