Nice one. But when I select to audit drawing, it removes all my previous names. I need all the previous names to appear so that I can add/remove new ones. Recreation > 1.My drawings > Select Drawing 2. Edit drawing > OK to the pop up to clear the previous results. 3. Press + 4. Select "Enter manually via key board". Expected > Edit screen appears with the previous names. Actual > Edit screen appears with no names.

Fun to use. I wish the prize would be random also instead of just going down the list.

I use this app for my "weighted drawings" at my school district. It is a great app, not many apps allow you to do the "win only once or multiple". The only problem is that you can't load prizes via csv file. Still is the best app for weighted drawings.

I entered up to 100 names, possibly more! i am able to add as many odds to my drawing participants as they earn, i am able to add prizes, and the drawing is completed very randomly. I love it!!

Great app. I sell Paparazzi jewelry and I use this at the end of my live sale on Facebook to determine who wins the drawings and it is amazing and no one can say I'm cheating or picking favorites highly recommend this app

It has maximum 50 entries. Not suitable for contest where more then 50 entries are expected. There should be option to add more contest participant's names.

About this app

A modern twist to the old fashioned method of choosing names by writing names on slips of paper and then drawing them from a hat. Simply enter a list of items (e.g., names, numbers, etc.), or select names from the contact list and then shake your device to randomly select a name or number. Can also be used to select lottery numbers, or along with printed tickets to hold large group drawings or raffles.

Latest version adds capability to add odds to each entry so that an entry can have greater opportunity to win (e.g., if a user has 10 tickets they'd have a greater chance of winning than someone who only has one ticket).

You can define any number and quantity of prizes and drawing will automatically assign a prize to each drawing.

Lots of original uses reported by my users, including a teacher using the app. to pick students to call on, and a trainer who uses the app. to give out prizes at the end of training sessions.

User configurable drawing types:
- Single Name - each name can only win once regardless of odds or number of tickets (though multiple tickets give better odds)
- Single Ticket - each ticket can only win once, more tickets gives better odds of winning
- Random - Never ending random drawing

Share drawing results with friends, family, or co-workers using all your social networking including: Facebook, email, IM and Twitter.

You can also save the application to SD card, save your drawings for later use, edit drawings to add or remove items, delete drawings, or clear the results and start the drawing over.

Ad free Pro version also available!
