Live draws run through the plugin

Live competition draws are powered by the Verified Draws WordPress plugin. It hands every buyer a committed ticket number at the moment of purchase, draws the winner from the real sold tickets, and auto-posts the winner plus an independent verify link back to the WooCommerce competition page — receipts included.

Why the plugin, not a manual upload

  • Committed at purchase

    Each buyer is handed a provably-committed ticket number the instant they pay — fixed before any draw exists, so nothing can be reshuffled after the fact.

  • Drawn from real sold tickets

    The winner is drawn from the actual sold ticket set, not a re-keyed spreadsheet. The draw set is exactly what your buyers hold.

  • Winner posted automatically

    The winning ticket and an independent verify link are auto-posted to the WooCommerce competition page, with receipts — no manual copy-paste, no room for a quiet edit.

WordPress plugin
Free during open beta

Already running competitions on WooCommerce or a giveaway plugin? Push a finished competition's entrants to Verified Draws in one button, run the draw live, and hand everyone a link to independently verify the result. It works with ticket numbers and ticket codes alike.

  1. 1

    Install & connect

    Add the plugin to your WordPress site and run the one-time connection self-test. A site key is generated locally and sent server-to-server only — never shown in a browser or a URL.

  2. 2

    Push a finished competition

    When a competition has ended, select it and press "Push selected to Verified Draws". Your entrants land in a sealed draw, ready to run with the same provable randomness as the main tool.

  3. 3

    Draw live & share the verify link

    Reveal the winner live on stream, then publish the verification code. Anyone can re-run the open calculation and land on the identical result — without trusting you or us.

Honest about your data: the plugin sends only the finished competition's ticket values, plus entrant names if you opt in for that push. It never sends payment details, addresses, or email addresses.
