The 4 Lottery Types Explained
Raining Balls
Our popular and longest running lottery tool. Using this tool you can draw a winner from tons of names or pictures. The balls rain down from the sky while the circle in the center of the screen grows. When the circle reaches it’s maximum size the 1st ball to touch it wins!

The Wheel of Fortune
In this version, the names, number or pictures are each displayed on one wedge of the wheel. The wheel spins and stops on the winning wedge. The name or picture of the winner then appears in the center of the wheel.

Slot Machine
The letters that make up the names of the participants, or the pictures, appear in the spinning slots. When you hit “stop”, the winner’s name is spelled out, or their 3 pictures appear in a row.
