First you will have to go the the "Choose Winner" tab in the top middle of the experience set up page. You will then see all of these different options you have when it comes to picking a winner.
Eligible Entries: You can enter a start and end date if you want to pick a winner from a specific time period.
From: Gives you 3 different options of winners to choose from.
Selecting entries from "each entry weighted equally" will pick a random winner, regardless of votes.
Selecting entries from "weighted by amount of votes" will pick a winner randomly but will treat the votes as bonus entries so those with more votes have a great chance of winning.
Selecting "Choose from voters" will pick a random winner from the voters.
Exclude: Allows you to exclude previous winners.
After clicking Choose Winner, a screen will pop up with your winner and their details. You can choose a winner at any point in your experience, even if it's still running.
If you need to view the previous winners of your experience, you can find them on the right of the Choose Winner menu on the "Choose Winner" tab. You can view their details by clicking on the gear icon next to their name.
If for any reason you need to remove a winner from the winners list, you can do so by clicking the gear icon next to the winner and then click the red "Remove From Winners List" button. Underneath the list of winners from your experience and account, you can view winners that have been removed as a winner from the experience.
Choosing A Winner For A Countdown Experience
For a Countdown experience you will start by going to the "Prizes" tab within the setup of the experience.
Next, go to the date you need to pick a winner for. You now have two options.
You can pick a winner for an individual keyword by clicking the "Choose Keyword Winner" button on the right of the individual keyword (red box)
Or, you can choose a winner for the entire day's worth of keywords by clicking the "Choose Winner From All Keywords" button (green box)
After clicking one of those options, a screen will pop up with the winner and their details. If you need to find their details again, you can click on their name that will appear under the choose winner button.
Choosing A Winner For A Sports Experience
Within the Sports app, winners are typically designated by their score and are further ranked when utilizing a separate tiebreaker score. If a tiebreaker score was not used and users have the same score, you can use the "Choose Random "blank" Place Winner" button to pick a random winner from those tied for the podium spots.
Note: You cannot pick a random overall winner from a Sports experience.
