Lottery Moment

A Lottery moment is a fun way to choose a winner from your audience. It's presented on the selected display as a wheel of fortune, picking a single winner every time it's spun.

To view the settings associated with the moment, described below, click a Lottery moment in the dashboard view.

Controls and List of Winners

The top of the main area shows the main START/STOP button for the lottery.

To start the lottery for the first time, press the play symbol on the right hand side, as with other moments. This starts the wheel spinning. Participants appear in the main area as they join the lottery (see under General below). Once you have enough participants, stop the wheel by clicking the START/STOP button. The wheel gradually comes to a standstill, showing the winner. The winner is also indicated at the top of the main area.

:!: The winner is shown immediately in at the top of the main area, as you click the STOP button, even before the wheel has stopped.

Previous Winners

All winners are shown in the main area, below the list of current lottery participants. Click a name of a previous winner to see more details about the winner.

Settings

In addition to the controls shared with most moments, as discussed under "editing moments", this moment has the following specific settings.

App Settings

These settings govern the moment's behavior on participants' phones. The text entered into the Title field will appear on the phone while running the lottery.

Show in menu / Fullscreen

These two options change the behavior of the moment in the app in a fundamental way. You may choose either of the following.

  • Neither option selected (default behavior). The moment will appear on the phone when played for the App (see playing moments). While on screen, the participant may set the moment aside temporarily by tapping the button in its top corner, returning to the app's home screen.
  • Show in menu. The moment appears on the app's home screen, and can be accessed by the participant at any time. This behavior is appropriate for moments that should be accessible to participants throughout the event, such as posting images, answering general surveys, etc.
  • Fullscreen. The moment appears on the phone when played for the App, and the participant can not set it aside. This behavior may be appropriate for moments requiring immediate attention.

The Show in menu and Fullscreen options are mutually exclusive. When Show in menu is selected, the App play button will be disabled, since the moment will be available at all times on the home screen, rather than played actively.

Display Settings

The setting control how poll results appear on the display.

  • Title appears above the spinning wheel on the display.
  • Wheel visibility controls how much of the wheel that will be visible. In most cases you should leave this set to Half to see only the upper part of the wheel. The Full option mat be suitable if you have a very large, or a vertically oriented, display.

General

The Enter method option controls how participants enter the lottery:

  • All includes all participants in the lottery.
  • Active includes only the participants currently having the app open on their phones.
  • Actively joined allows participants to chose to participate in the lottery y pressing a button appearing on their phones.

Reset Settings and Delete Moment

Click RESET SETTINGS to restore all settings to their default values.

Click DELETE MOMENT to remove the entire Post moment including all the postings it contains.

:!: CAUTION: This operation can not be undone. Any previous winners shown inside the moment will be lost.
