Simple Raffle Drawings

Run fair, transparent giveaways directly on your WordPress site—no third-party tools, no messy spreadsheets. Simple Raffle Drawings gives you unlimited raffles, a point-and-click form editor, shortcode embedding, and automatic winner selection for clean, trustworthy results.

When you draw a winner, the raffle closes instantly and displays only the winner’s name on the front end. Built-in styling options let you match everything—fields, buttons, and winner text—to your brand.


Key Features

  • Unlimited raffles: Run multiple drawings at once with separate entries and winners.
  • Custom entry fields: Add and arrange fields (name, email, phone, etc.) with a simple GUI—no coding required.
  • Fair by design: One entry per email per raffle; duplicates are blocked automatically.
  • One-click winner: Instantly select a winner, close the raffle, and show results publicly.
  • Full control: Reopen, reset, or delete raffles whenever you need.
  • Easy styling: Adjust colors, fonts, button text, and winner labels to fit your brand.
  • Shortcode embedding: Drop raffles anywhere with a simple copy-paste snippet.

How It Works

  1. Create a raffle in the admin and customize entry fields.
  2. Copy the shortcode and paste it into any page or post.
  3. Entries are collected automatically—duplicates prevented per email.
  4. Click to auto-select a winner; the raffle closes and the winner is displayed.
  5. Need to redraw or extend? Remove the winner to reopen the raffle or reset entries.
