# How to Draw Your Raffle Winner(s)

## Learn how to draw your raffle winners directly from Trellis.

When it's time to draw the winner(s) for your raffle, you will need 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.

### **How to Draw Your Raffle Winners**

1. Open your **fundraiser editor** from your dashboard.
   
   ![](https://help.trellis.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-12-01%20at%2012-40-17%20PM-png.png?width=284&height=300&name=Screenshot%202023-12-01%20at%2012-40-17%20PM-png.png)
2. From the builder menu, go to **Fundraising Drivers \> Raffles & 50/50s.**
3. In the lefthand menu, click**Run Draw**.
   
     1. **Heads Up!** 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. 
        
        ![](https://help.trellis.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-03-15%20at%203-26-07%20PM-png.png?width=425&height=300&name=Screenshot%202023-03-15%20at%203-26-07%20PM-png.png)
4. **Select the draw** you want to run from the dropdown list. The text above is the licence name.

5. Click **Reconcile Draw**. This begins reconciling all your entries and can take a little while.
   
   ![](https://help.trellis.org/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-03-15%20at%203-27-28%20PM-png.png)
6. Click**Download Contenders** **List** to export a copy of the contender’s list. 
     1. Our platform ensures that no voided tickets are included but if you want to double-check, you may download your raffle report for the list of voided tickets. 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.

### **How to Share Your Winner**

Once you have successfully verified the winner your live website page will automatically post the name of the winner. 

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.

![](https://help.trellis.org/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-03-15%20at%203-31-26%20PM-png.png)

**Heads Up:** 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 **<https://help.trellis.org/exporting-raffle-results-reports?hsLang=en>**[Exporting Raffle Results & Reports.](https://help.trellis.org/exporting-raffle-results-reports?hsLang=en)<https://help.trellis.org/exporting-raffle-results-reports?hsLang=en>

### **How to Prepare Your Reports**

1. You can download your raffle reports from the Raffles and 50/50s sidebar. **Go to Export Results and select the report type and filters.
   
   ![](https://help.trellis.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-09-28%20at%201-13-39%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=364&height=608&name=Screenshot%202026-09-28%20at%201-13-39%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)**
2. Use the same report to prepare your provincial gaming report. Different provinces might have specific data requirements for reporting, but you can be confident that your Raffle Report will include all the essential information needed for compliance.
3. An expense report will be sent to you by our team within the next 5 business days to show a breakdown of your sales and fees.
