Live Draw Tool: Pick Giveaway & Competition Winners

Pick giveaway and competition winners with a live, on-screen random draw. Spin the wheel, prove fairness, and announce winners in real time.

Run a live draw to pick your giveaway or competition winner in front of your audience, completely at random and completely transparent. Gleam's Live Draw tool pulls entries straight from any completed Gleam Competitions campaign, then spins a visual wheel to select a winner live on screen.

It's built for creators, brands and event teams who want to draw a winner fairly and announce it publicly, with no spreadsheets, add-ons or manual number picking. Record the draw or stream it live to prove the result was fair and build trust with your audience.

Use the Live Draw interface during live streams, screencasts or Zoom calls to reveal winners in real time.
