How Does the Facebook Giveaway Picker Work?
Collect commenter names from your Facebook post, paste them into the wheel, and spin to draw a winner. The draw is cryptographically random, visual, and recordable — everything you need for a Facebook contest that your community actually trusts.
Facebook giveaways are popular for local businesses, community groups, and brand pages. The platform's comment system makes it easy to collect entries, but the lack of a built-in picker means you need an external tool for the draw.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I require people to share my post to enter?
No. Facebook's Promotion Guidelines prohibit requiring shares on personal timelines as an entry method. You can ask people to comment, like, or react — but not share.
How do I see all comments on a large post?
Switch the comment sort from 'Most Relevant' to 'All Comments' (dropdown at the top of the comments section). Then scroll to load all comments. For very large posts, comments may load in batches.
Should I use real names or ask for a specific comment?
Facebook shows real full names by default. Asking for a specific comment (like 'Drop a gift emoji to enter') makes it easy to identify valid entries vs. unrelated comments.
Can I run giveaways in Facebook Groups?
Yes, and they tend to get higher engagement than Page posts because group members are more active. Make sure you're an admin or have admin permission to run the contest.
