Randomness nobody controls
The randomness comes from a public source and the draw is time-stamped by a European trust provider. Nobody can pick the winners.
Prize draw
A raffle draw anyone can check
You run the draw yourself, when you are ready. Every ticket has the same chance, the randomness comes neither from you nor from us, and anyone can check the result.
- Verifiable by anyoneThe draw can be redone identically, in the browser, with no account.
- Qualified time stampDated by a European trust service provider, under the eIDAS regulation.
- Sealed for five yearsThe result is kept and can be neither changed nor deleted.
The draw is the moment people trust you
Sales are closed, the prizes are on the table and everyone is looking at you. It is also the moment of questions: "Is it really random?", "Why does that name come up twice?", "Who pressed the button?". One doubt, and your organisation's reputation takes the hit.
With GoTombola you have nothing to justify: the draw proves itself. Every ticket is checked before, every winner after, and the result is sealed. You can show it to your board, to the town hall, to a court officer or to any participant.
The draw essentials
Three things that change an organiser's life on draw day.
Everything around the draw
Before, during and after: each step has its tool, in your management interface.
Fair by design
Each prize is drawn with equal chances among the tickets that can win it. Your raffle's rules, such as "one prize per person", are applied by the draw itself.
Each prize among its own tickets
When participants bought their tickets for a specific prize, each prize is drawn among its own tickets only. The screen tells you so in plain words.
A result sealed for five years
The result is signed as soon as it exists and kept for five years where nobody can change or delete it. Running the draw again gives the same winners.
The draw file
Download the result and its proof, to hand to a court officer or to check yourself.
Anyone can check it
A participant, a partner or a court officer drops the file on verify.gotombola.co and sees the draw redone in their browser, without uploading anything.
Publish the winners
In one move, the winners appear on your campaign page, prize by prize. You can take the list down later.
Tell every participant
Send each person their result by e-mail, or by text message if they left no e-mail — to everyone, to winners only or to the others only. You see how many people will be told before sending.

Handing over the prizes

Your questions about the draw
No. You run it, when you are ready, from "Event day › Raffle draw". Sales are closed first, then the screen checks the tickets and has you review what is about to happen before you start.
Your rules decide. If you choose "one prize per person", the draw applies it by itself: once a participant has won, their other tickets no longer play for the next prizes.
Yes. You follow the draw prize by prize in your interface, and you can show the winners on a big screen with the winners wall.
Yes. After the draw, you download the draw file: it holds the result and its proof. The court officer, or anyone else, can redo the draw identically on verify.gotombola.co.
From the draw screen, you send each person their result by e-mail, or by text message if they left no e-mail. You choose who to tell and when: everyone, winners only or the others only.
Coming soon. We are preparing a plan of draws: the same link and the same page, each prize attached to its own draw.
