Summary


This guide is a summary of your Raffles tab and explains how to run raffles as an additional
prize offering for your lottery. It is important to remember that you will only be able to see
the ‘Raffles’ tab and the results of the raffles if you have the correct permissions set up.


You can check this on the USER ADMIN tab. If you do not have the user admin tab on your dashboard please contact cheryl@gatherwell.co.uk

 

 

What Is The Raffles Feature?


The ‘Raffles’ feature provides the ability to run additional prize offerings on your lottery.
They can be run on an ad-hoc basis on any day of the week. For example, you may want to
run a series of raffles with one draw a day for 10 days. This can be set up in advance so
you can get the results from your dashboard each day.


You CAN run a raffle at the same time as being part of the ‘National super draw’ offer.


There are no marketing materials provided by Gatherwell for these and the results are not
published on the lottery website, however you can view the results by logging into your
Operator Dashboard and viewing the ‘Raffles’ tab after the draw has passed. The winner(s)
DO NOT receive an email notification regarding the win. You must contact them manually
from their details provided.


You are wholly responsible for all marketing for these offerings. We recommend that you
publish the winner’s details to your lottery news feed and social media channels (after
seeking permission to share their details, of course) or post an anonymous quote from them
on why they support their chosen cause, as well as one from the cause on what their
support means to them.
