It’s possible to both draw winners on a daily basis while the calendar is active or across the entire period when it’s completed. You can set up either manual or automatic drawing. The automatic draw takes place at 01:00 on the day following day. We don’t publish winners automatically by default – they must be approved by you first.
You can also publish the winner of yesterday’s draw directly on the calendar window. To publish winners, select Frontpage > Winners and the day on which you’d like to publish the winners. Choose whether you want to show the correct answer to the question alongside the winner’s name. There is also space to write your own custom text.
Tip: Pay recognition to the winner with a personal greeting in the text field. Maybe they’ve won a prize that’s worth sharing more about?
You can delete an already approved winner and then draw a new one. Go to Frontpage > Winners, select the correct date at the top and click the Delete icon next to the winner.
