FAQ
A prize has multiple copies — how to draw?
Set the qty, then START and STOP draws that many winners at once.
How to import names?
People tab supports Excel (dept, name columns) and bulk paste, with a template download.
Can someone win twice?
No, winners are auto-excluded; redraw one prize or clear all to replay.
Where is each prize's winners list?
The Winners tab groups every winner by prize with Excel export; use Draw on that prize to top up, Redraw to redo one prize only.
How is this different from generic wheels or apps?
Built for banquet hosting: 4-tab flow, multi-copy prizes at once, auto-exclusion, mid-draw bonus prizes, fullscreen + spacebar control, two-way Excel import/export; free, no install, local-only.
Are names uploaded?
No, everything stays in your browser localStorage; winners export to Excel.
Is the draw fair? What randomness is used?
Fisher-Yates shuffle powered by the browser's crypto-grade crypto.getRandomValues — equal odds for every candidate; winners auto-excluded; the rolling display is only animation, the result is drawn fresh at STOP and can't be timed or rigged.
