Prize Draw

A prize draw is the random-selection method used to pick one or more winners among all eligible entrants in a giveaway, typically run by an algorithm that guarantees a fair process. Example: when a giveaway with 3,000 entrants closes, a computerized prize draw randomly selects the 5 winners among valid entries. Not to be confused with an instant-win game, where each entrant learns their result immediately after entering rather than waiting for a final selection among everyone who took part.
