Setting Lucky Draw Eligibility and Preparing the Entry List

Every reliable draw starts with a controlled list. If the list is wrong, no amount of screen design will save the segment. Settle the rules first, then build the list to match them.

Where entries come from

Entries might come from the registration list, an attendance check on the night, a campaign submission or an HR staff list. Decide which source is authoritative and who supplies it. Avoid merging several spreadsheets at the last minute.

Write the rules down

• Who qualifies, and who is excluded, such as organising committee members or senior leaders.

• Whether a person must be present to win.

• Whether each person gets one entry or more.

• Whether someone can win more than once.

• When the list closes.

• What proves a winner is eligible on the night.

• How long a winner has to come forward before a redraw.

The organiser should approve these rules and the final list before the draw. This turns tricky judgement calls into simple steps.

Clean the data

Names, staff numbers and registration IDs need to be consistent before import. Check for duplicates, missing fields and inconsistent spellings. Keep a copy of the approved source version so you can show what was used if questions arise.

Protect personal information

Only display what the audience needs to recognise a winner. A name and department is usually enough. Avoid showing full phone numbers, email addresses or identity numbers on the big screen, and handle the list according to your organisation's privacy requirements.

Linking draws to attendance

If attendance is required, connect the draw list to the check-in record. Only people who have checked in should be eligible. Decide what happens to late arrivals and agree a cut-off time for entry.

Campaign and public draws

Draws open to the public, such as at roadshows or brand activations, may have additional conditions from the venue or regulatory requirements. Check current rules with the venue and the relevant authority before announcing.
