BeanNest Wheel guide

Run a visible multi-prize raffle-style draw

A multi-prize draw needs more structure than a generic wheel. The entrant list, prize order, duplicate policy, elimination step, and result record should all be visible so the people watching can understand what changed between draws.

Try the workflow

Use the live tool after you understand the behavior and limits described below.

Open Raffle Wheel

Prepare entrants and prizes before the first draw

Review both lists first. The wheel spins entrants; the separate prize list defines the order in which results are assigned. This is different from a prize wheel where the prizes themselves are the segments.

Resolve duplicate entrants visibly

A duplicate can act like an extra entry if it is left in the pool. The raffle workflow reports duplicate handling so the list does not silently change the apparent chances.

Elimination is an explicit confirmation step

After a winner appears, choose Eliminate winner and draw next prize before continuing when one person should win at most once. Spinning again without elimination keeps that entrant eligible because the next draw is still independent.

Keep an ordered local record

Confirmed results are paired with prize labels in session order. Download results creates a local text file before the tab is closed. That record is useful for readback but is not a tamper-proof audit log.

Know the legal and fairness boundary

BeanNest is a browser-local random draw tool, not a certified lottery, gambling, giveaway-compliance, or regulatory system. The organizer is responsible for eligibility, official rules, required witnesses or audits, and any law that applies to a real promotion.

Keeping a local record

Download or copy the result record after each draw and note the prize order, entrants, and time. The record is locally generated evidence for your own process, not a certified audit log. If the draw matters to other people, agree on the record format and who will keep the copy before the first spin.

Eligibility is your responsibility

The wheel draws from the entrants you paste. It does not verify age, residency, employment, purchase, or any other eligibility rule. Remove ineligible entrants before the draw, keep the source list unchanged for review, and follow the rules that apply to your raffle or promotion. Tool output cannot cure an eligibility or disclosure problem.
