How To Do A Random Draw On Discord

To run a Live Raffle all you really need is a random number generator. I've seen people utilise various dissimilar websites to register their raffles to make sure there is a level of transparency and they tin can be provably fair, simply is that necessary if it costs you actress?

Concluding calendar month we had a huge raffle for the #SteemSilverGold community organised by @raybrockman and later he had painstakingly added all the names into the site he was using at randompicker.com he was told he needed to pay $39 USD because in that location was over 100 tickets sold. Ouch! Surely there is a better and cheaper style to do these raffles and so today I have been looking into alternatives.

In a few days we are launching possibly the biggest Community Raffle that has been seen on the STEEM platform and it's pretty likely nosotros are going to sell more 100 tickets. We're probably going to sell more than 200 tickets! Plus nosotros want to do the draw LIVE in our Discord server so that anybody can get together and turn it into a big community issue. So, the beauty of setting up a Discord Bot is that it is cheap and tin exist done in existent time with everyone watching and it can too exist provably off-white with Open Source Lawmaking. Seems like a good option to me not just for this raffle, merely for others the community members like to run too.

The first Discord Bot I looked at is called Tatsumaki which has a dice rolling characteristic where you can type in t!dice 1d100 and it will roll a 100 sided dice 1 fourth dimension. It is a Discord Bot that you'll find in use on the MSP Peace, Affluence, Liberty Discord Server, simply unfortunately it doesn't give you a random number range greater than 100. Considering how large the SSG Community Raffle is going to get I don't think it will cutting it.

So I found Random Picker which has a command yous can utilize to generate a random number. Blazon r-roll 10000 and it'll give y'all a random number between 1 and 10000. Sounds like it will do the job no matter how many tickets we sell and information technology's in use in over 1500 servers around the world, so it is widely used and trusted. So all we will need to do is copy and paste from a spreadsheet into Discord and utilize the bot to depict the numbers.
