Interval winners let you draw and reward multiple winners while a competition is still running, rather than waiting for the final draw at the end. Winners are chosen automatically at random on the schedule you define, and any site-credit prizes are paid out instantly without any manual action. This feature is ideal for advent calendars, daily prize draws, or competitions where you want to build sustained engagement over an extended period.

How it looks for customers

The interval winner schedule is displayed on the competition page, showing customers when each upcoming draw will take place. The layout can be restructured to suit different formats — for example, an advent calendar style with individual date tiles.

Setting up interval winners

1

Open the Edit Competition page

Navigate to the competition you want to configure and open its edit form. Interval Winners is found in the same area as the Questions settings.
2

Enable the Interval Winners option

Tick the Interval Winners checkbox to reveal the scheduling options. You’ll be able to choose from different modes depending on the structure of your competition.
3

Choose a draw mode

Select the mode that matches your competition format:
Set specific fixed dates and times for each winner — for example, 9th November at 9:00am.
Define a base date and the platform will automatically schedule recurring draws at daily or weekly intervals from that point.
Trigger a winner draw automatically when total ticket sales reach or exceed a percentage of the maximum tickets available.
4

Review the scheduled intervals

After configuring your settings, the boxes below the mode selector will show you a clear summary of when each scheduled interval winner draw is set to take place. Review these carefully before saving.
5

Save the competition

Save the competition to confirm your interval winner configuration. The platform will handle all draws automatically at the scheduled times.

Restrictions and important notes

You cannot schedule an interval winner at the same time as, or after, the competition’s end date. All interval draws must be set to occur before the competition closes.
You cannot edit an interval winner entry once someone has won that draw. You can, however, add new interval winner entries at any time.
Prizes that are not site credit are not paid out automatically. Non-credit prizes are still drawn randomly (in the same way as an auto-draw) and the winner is recorded, but you will need to reward those prizes manually. Only site-credit prizes are fulfilled automatically.
