WooCommerce Lottery with Pick Ticket Number
Overview
Online lotteries, raffles, and competitions are among the most effective ways for WooCommerce store owners to drive traffic, boost engagement, and generate revenue. Competitions create excitement, encourage repeat visits, and offer a fun buying experience that standard product listings can’t match.
WooCommerce Lottery with Pick Ticket Number addon makes it easy to create a professional lottery, competition, or raffle website. The plugin and addon integrate seamlessly with WooCommerce and require no coding or technical skills. With a payment gateway in place, you can start running lotteries and competitions on your WooCommerce site in under 30 minutes!
WooCommerce Lottery also supports multi-vendor competition marketplaces. When combined with a multi-vendor plugin, vendors can submit and manage competition products directly from their frontend dashboard, while you earn a commission on every ticket sale. We recommend using WooCommerce Lottery with Dokan and the Dokan Lottery Integration to build a scalable competition marketplace.

Lottery Only : For Simple Giveaways & Lucky Draws
Don’t need numbered tickets, instant wins, or skill-based questions? The base WooCommerce Lottery plugin works perfectly on its own for simple giveaways and random-draw lotteries.
Without Pick Ticket Number, the lottery works by logging each ticket purchase as an entry. When the lottery ends, the plugin randomly selects winner(s) from all entries, so more tickets purchased means higher chances of winning. No ticket numbers are shown to users.
This is ideal for:
✔ Free giveaways and promotional draws (ticket price can be zero)
✔ Simple paid lotteries where users just buy entries
✔ Charity raffles with random winner selection
The base plugin includes all core features: multiple winners, ticket limits, countdown timers, automatic winner picking, email notifications, relist/extend/refund for failed lotteries, entry lists, widgets, shortcodes, Elementor support, WPML, WooCommerce API, guest checkout, and Dokan integration.
The base Lottery plugin does not include:
✘ Ticket number picking or random number assignment
✘ Lucky dip
✘ Instant wins
✘ Skill-based competitions with questions and answers
✘ Manual winner picking for live draws
✘ My Tickets and My Wins in My Account
✘ Ticket reservations
✘ Letter prefix on tickets or custom starting numbers
✘ Postal entries (manually adding tickets for users)
Note: Pick Ticket Number is an addon that requires the base WooCommerce Lottery plugin. You need both for the full competition experience.

Spending Limits for WooCommerce: Player Protection for Competition Sites
If you run a paid competition site, responsible gaming tools aren’t just good practice: they’re becoming a legal requirement in many regions. Spending Limits for WooCommerce adds player protection controls that regulators and payment processors increasingly expect.
Users can set their own daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly spending limits and voluntarily lock themselves out with self-exclusion periods. They can lower limits anytime, but increasing or removing them requires admin approval, preventing impulsive decisions.
The PRO version adds global site-wide limits, custom time periods, audit logs, user reports with CSV export, and customizable messaging.
Free version available on WordPress.org. Designed to work seamlessly with WooCommerce Lottery and Pick Ticket Number.

Amazing set of plugins and the extra customization we have paid for is incredible, highly recommend buying direct from these guys rather than using the third party companies that are reselling their license without rewarding the original developers
Thank you for the great work and support over the past few weeks!

By far the best prize draw plugin i have tired. I would highly recommend this plugin along with “WooCommerce Lottery / Competitions Pick Ticket Number Modification” available direct from their site.
I did try other plugins before finding this one and ended up removing the others in favour of this one.
The whole thing works just as you would want it to and the support is very good.
You may not like the price of the additional plugin but if you want quality, support and decent system the expect to pay a good price. Its worth every penny.

FAQ
You can run lotteries, raffles, giveaways, lucky draws, and prize competitions. With the Pick Ticket Number addon, you can also run skill-based competitions with questions and answers, instant-win contests, and live-draw lotteries.
It depends on your use case. If you want users to pick ticket numbers, run instant wins, add skill-based questions, or do manual live draws, you need both WooCommerce Lottery ($29 on CodeCanyon) and Pick Ticket Number ($250 on our store; one time fee for unlimited updates and support ). If you only need simple random-draw lotteries or free giveaways without numbered tickets, the base Lottery plugin is enough.
Yes, ticket price can be set to zero. For free giveaways, you don’t even need a payment processor set up.
Yes, you can define any number of winners per lottery. You can also choose whether a single user can win multiple prizes.
Winners are picked randomly when the lottery ends. The plugin uses PHP’s mt_rand() function. If you use the Pick Ticket Number addon, you can also manually enter winning numbers for live draws or use external services like random.org.
Instant wins let certain ticket numbers be pre-set as winners. When a user purchases (or is assigned) a ticket with a winning number, they find out immediately, no need to wait for the lottery to end. You import instant win numbers via CSV.
You add a question to the lottery that participants must answer. You can choose to allow only correct answers to participate in the draw, or allow everyone to check out but exclude wrong answers from winner selection. This is useful for competitions that legally require a skill element.
Yes, with Pick Ticket Number, users see a visual number grid and can pick their preferred numbers. Alternatively, you can set it to randomly assign numbers automatically. You can also offer a “lucky dip” button for quick random purchases.
The plugin supports guest checkout with login at a later stage, so users can purchase tickets without creating an account first.
Yes, you can define the maximum number of tickets per user for each lottery.
If the minimum ticket threshold isn’t met, the lottery fails. You then have three options: refund all tickets with one click, relist the lottery (starting fresh), or extend the end date while keeping all existing participants and their tickets.
Yes, there’s an option to instantly finish the lottery when the maximum number of tickets has been sold.
Yes, a countdown timer is displayed on lottery product pages showing the time remaining.

Yes, with Pick Ticket Number, administrators can manually add ticket numbers for users, commonly used for postal entries or promotional giveaways.
Yes, the plugin uses cronjobs to check lottery end times. One-minute server cronjobs are recommended for best results. The plugin also works with WP Cron, though real server cronjobs are more reliable. If your host doesn’t support one-minute cronjobs, you can use a third-party service like EasyCron.
Yes, WooCommerce Lottery supports Elementor from version 2.0.
WooCommerce Lottery ($29) is available on CodeCanyon.
