Lucky draw for annual dinners

A lucky draw the whole ballroom watches

Upload your staff list or let guests enter themselves with a QR code. On the night, names roll on the big screen, slow down, and the winner is spelled out one letter at a time.

How it works

  1. Add your guests

    Upload an Excel or CSV list with names, staff IDs or phone numbers, or put an entry QR code on every table.

  2. Set the prizes

    From the grand prize to twenty coffee vouchers. Draw one at a time, or a whole prize at once.

  3. Draw on stage

    Press Space on the laptop or tap Draw on your phone. The projector shows the roll, the name and the confetti.

  • Winners picked on the server with a cryptographic random generator
  • No repeat winners unless you allow it; redraw an absent winner in one tap
  • Staff IDs and phone numbers partly hidden on screen
  • Export entries and winners to Excel after the dinner

Questions organisers ask

How do I run a lucky draw at a company dinner?

Upload your staff list before the night, or put an entry QR code on every table. Add the prizes from the smallest to the grand prize. On the night, open the draw on the laptop connected to the projector and press Draw, or tap Draw on your phone: the names roll on the big screen and the winner lands with confetti. Draw small prizes during dinner and keep the grand prize for the end.

What if the winner has already gone home?

Press Redraw: that name is set aside and a new winner is drawn for the same prize at once. Decide the rule before the night and say it on stage, for example that winners must be in the room when their name comes up.

Can we draw many winners at once?

Yes. Draw one at a time for the big prizes, or a whole prize at once, such as twenty vouchers, with every name shown on the screen together. Nobody wins twice unless you allow it.

Is the lucky draw really random?

Winners are picked on our server with a cryptographic random number generator, not in the browser. Every winner is recorded with the time of the draw, and you can export the full list of entries and winners.

Can we use our staff list?

Yes. Upload your Excel list. Only your staff can join, vote and win.

What happens to our staff data?

Your staff list is used only for your event: to check who may take part, and IDs and phone numbers are partly hidden on the big screen. 30 days after the event, the guest list and every staff ID, IC, phone number and email are deleted automatically; names and results stay so your report still works. You can delete the list, or the whole event, at any time before that.

Do you provide the stage or emcee?

No. Yaypick is the software. You bring the screen and emcee; we run the interactive part.
