Steps to complete your raffle and draw a winner
Yay! it's time to draw the winner for your raffle. Please note you will have to manually draw the winner to follow provincial gaming rules. We also recommend checking with your provincial body to understand if any specific stakeholders are required to be present when conducting the draw.

If your draw is not yet ready the platform will not allow you to draw your winner. The platform follows the draw date and time you have on your license and specified on your intake form so if it shows that it's not yet ready just be mindful of the current time.

NOTE: Our platform ensures that no voided tickets are included but if you want to double-check that no voided raffle tickets are included in the draw you may download your raffle report for the list of voided tickets to manually do your checking. Downloading the contenders list is also a good proof for you to have in case gaming asks for it or you need it for future reference.

Once you have successfully verified the winner your live website page will automatically post the name of the winner. Repeat the steps for all your draws.
The platform does not automatically contact your winner and per raffle regulation, It’s the organization's responsibility to contact the winner and arrange how the prizes will be claimed.
Trellis does not pay the winner, all purchases are paid out to the organization following the payout schedule and it is their responsibility to cut the cheque for the winner(or any other means of paying the winner)
To retrieve the winner's contact details - please refer to this article Exporting Raffle Results & Reports.
