Oh wow, that would be super cool! I think you can create a Journal in which everyone would leave a sequential number and then you could choose the winner using a randomizer.
You can also make any conditions such as a Watch or, if you decide to create a theme for the lottery with the help of the presentation, by adding it to your favorites.

Oh thank you for the advice! Yeah that sounds like a good idea to have people comment numbers :0 I'll think about a theme and see how it goes, ty!!

Oh that's awesome! I'm actually just doing my first one right now so I'm short on advice but feel free to take a look if it helps? Bearing in mind I did a particular kink and character theme for mine so most of the rules are pretty specific to that.

I plan to use https://www.random.org/ for the day of the drawing as it records lots of helpful proof of winner information like when the random number drawing was done!

Tysm for that it's really helpful! I'll have a look at yours and other examples to get some ideas going, and I appreciate you linking the random generator thing cause having proof that was something I was worried about lol

I’m glad I could be helpful! Best of luck with it

Your artwork is amazing, so I'm totally down for an opportunity to get art from you! ^w^

And what the previous two commenters said for advice! :D

y e s I would love that!

<3

Gosh, i would love to see a raffle from you! Your art is so dang delightful! I love everything you've made, even what you've made for me in the past!

I just hope it doesnt become a cluster mess i normally see when users are left to number them selves. So think how you want this to be clean and presented. And if you want to undertake numbering everyone!
Also think if you want there to be +1 numbers added for journal entries like i see alot of raffles do

I actually hadn't thought about that, thank you! It could definitely get a bit confusing if people have to number themselves, I might just get everyone that wants to enter to comment under the journal? I can assign numbers to people in another journal or just in response to their comment (that way they can see their number for the generator)

I think I might keep it simple for this and allow one entry per person, I feel like it would be too easy for me to mess up oops ;0;

That is totally fine on one entry! It is your raffle in your rules at the end of the day!
But yes, I have seen self numbering go awry and people simply just ignore the rules in the first place and we'll never number themselves so people either ignore them or number under them and always mess up the chain

You dont have to number them all in one go too. I have seen many artists number a certian amount of entries each day. Then by the final day they number who is left.
I suggest turning off comments when you close the raffle too. That way you dont get last minute stragglers you have to work around (or when one of them wins by entering after the raffle was set to close 💀)

But yeah! If you look up raffles others hold, it may give you a good format!
