# Draw winners

Draw prizes among the players by hand or automatically, use draw tickets, and see the winners.

A draw picks winners at random among the people who took part. Use it for big prizes, competitions and daily prizes in calendars.

## Add a draw prize

1. Open the **Prizes** panel (**Prizes** > **Manage** under the game page, or **Settings** > **Draw**).
2. Click **Add draw**.
3. Fill in the name, description, image and **Quantity** (how many winners).
4. Choose a **Redemption method** if winners should get a code.
5. Save the draw.

## Draw the winners by hand

1. Go to the campaign's **Prizes** tab, outside the editor.
2. Click **Draw winner**.
3. Choose the **Prize**. Optionally, use **Filter by participation date** to draw only among people who took part in a period, for example on one day.
4. Choose **Draw all prizes**, or set the **Number of winners to draw**.
5. Click **Draw winner**. The draw runs in the background, and the winners appear in the list.

## Draw automatically

On the draw prize's **Settings** tab, turn on **Run draw automatically** and click **Add draw period**. Choose when the draw runs, for example daily, at the end of the campaign or on a date, the **Quantity of prizes to draw** and, if you want, the **Participation period to filter by (optional)**.

The **Draw winner** dialog shows the **Total amount** of prizes, the **Remaining prizes** and the **Total participants** before you draw.

## Draw tickets: more tickets, more chances

With the **Draw tickets** add-on in the game's prize settings, players earn tickets, and more tickets give a bigger chance in the draw. Players can earn tickets each time they take part, when they win a prize (**Award tickets when winning**) or for a quiz result. When draw tickets are on, only players with tickets can win draws. Show the tickets with the drawing tickets dynamic tag or on a leaderboard.

## After the draw

Click **See winners** next to the draw prize to see who won. Winners get the prize email if you have set one up. See [See your winners and handle prizes](https://scratcher.io/help/prizes/see-your-winners).

Check your local rules for prize draws and competitions, and explain in your terms how and when the winners are drawn.

In the **Draw winner** dialog, **Select a prize** first. Before the first draw, the list says "No winners yet".
