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. Gleam's Live Draw tool pulls entries straight from an active Gleam Competitions campaign, then picks your winners on screen while everyone watches.
It is built for creators, brands and event teams who want to announce a winner publicly, with no spreadsheets and no manual number picking. Stream the draw or record it, and your entrants can see exactly how the result was reached.
- Run the draw during a livestream, screen share or Zoom call
- Entrant email addresses stay hidden on the draw screen
- Record it and post the video as proof of a fair draw
