Christmas is coming early for Crowdpurr users! Santa visited the Crowdpurr offices and dropped off an awesome new feature... Lotteries!
We first revealed and demonstrated these features at our $1000 Virtual Holiday Party a few weeks back. In case you missed that wild party, kick back and grab a cold one now because we're discussing all the details and fun below. Let's jump in!
Lotteries
You can now create and run fun Lotteries with your participants using Crowdpurr! During our $1000 Virtual Holiday Party we gave out four different $25 "door prizes" using our new Lottery feature. $25 just for showing up! Not bad.
Lotteries allow you to randomly choose participants from your experience in order to award prizes, incentives, and/or simply randomly select participants to volunteer or ask a question. Or how about awarding one final grand prize only available to the participants who lasted to the end of your virtual event? Pretty cool. Best of all, Lotteries are FREE to all users on all plans.
Create Lotteries In Advance
Crowdpurr allows you to set up your Lotteries in advance. You can set how many participants will be selected, input information about the reward or purpose of the Lottery, and choose whether or not to exclude past winners. When you're ready, simply run the Lottery!
Participants Get Notified on Participant View
When you run a Lottery, your participants get a notification on the Participant View that has a fun spinning wheel animation that reveals the prize or purpose of the Lottery and if they've won or not!
All Lottery Data Is Saved
Each Lottery you run is saved in your Experience Dashboard for you to review. You can review which participants were selected and what the prize or purpose was.

Bug Fixes
In addition to the new features above, we squashed the following bugs in November including:
🐞 Presentation View Rankings Leaderboard Animated Wildly
Many users reported issues with the Presentation View's Rankings Leaderboard animating player rankings horizontally. Certain situations could cause the Rankings Leaderboard to animate incorrectly. Usually when using the Next Round feature.
Good news! We redesigned how the Rankings Leaderboard pages through player rankings. It now does a simple refresh of all players ranked lower than the top three.
Additionally, we added another minor new feature on the Presentation View's Configuration Menu called Cycle Rankings Leaderboard. This controls whether or not you want the Presentation View's Rankings Leaderboard to cycle or not. If you disable this setting, the Rankings Leaderboard will no longer automatically cycle through the player rankings.
You can also now use the Spacebar key to manually cycle through player rankings on the Rankings Leaderboard if you prefer to not have them cycle automatically!
