The central hub for student data, amounts, and class management.

When importing, the wizard shows your file's raw columns and lets you map them to the correct fields. The system tries to auto-detect common column names. You can map a single column to both Online and Cash if your file has a single "Amount" column.

Shows each teacher's class with enrolled count, participating count, participation rate %, online total, cash total, and grand total. A totals row at the bottom summarises the whole school. Click a class name in the sidebar to filter the student table to that class only.

The stats cards at the top update automatically as data changes. They show the totals and leaders for the current filter (all classes, or a single class). Top Student, Top Class by Raised, and Most Participants update dynamically.

The home base for your fundraiser's identity and complete history.

Everything needed to run a fair, auditable, and exciting draw.

Each student receives 1 base ticket plus 1 additional ticket for every N dollars raised, where N is the "Dollar per extra ticket" setting. A student who raises $25 with a $5/ticket setting earns 1 + 5 = 6 tickets total.

Ticket codes are in the format XX-NNNNNN (two letters + six digits, e.g. KR-048271). Codes are seeded and deterministic — the same seed always produces the same codes for the same pool of students. This is important for printed tickets.

Builds the full ticket pool from current student data and shuffles it using the seed. The result appears in the Full Ticket Pool table showing each ticket's code, student, teacher, and "X of Y" position. If a draw has already run, recalculating will warn you with the previous seed and offer to download the audit CSV before resetting.

These checkboxes control which columns appear in the Winners table on this page. This is useful for live events — you can hide the student name and only show the ticket code, so the winner must come forward and identify themselves before their name is revealed. Toggle the controls during or after the draw to progressively reveal information.

Use the class buttons in the sidebar to filter the student table by teacher for easier reviewing. This does not affect the lottery draw — the draw always uses the full school pool. Odds shown are always the student's share of the complete pool.

Click Run Draw. You'll be asked to choose a draw mode:

During the draw, the spinning ticket code lands on the winner's code. The winner is added to the running list. After all prizes are drawn, a Congratulations banner and confetti animation play. Closing and re-opening the draw shows the results without re-running.

After the draw completes, the ⬇ Audit CSV button becomes available (both on the lottery page and in the draw modal). The audit file contains: fundraiser name and seed, a winners list, the complete shuffled ticket pool with codes, and every donation transaction with its import source. This file is the complete record of provenance for the draw.

After generating tickets (Recalculate Tickets), click 🖨 Print Tickets PDF to open the print dialog. Choose a layout and scope, then click Generate PDF.

Within each student's ticket list, codes are always sorted alphabetically (AA-000000 → ZZ-999999). This makes it easy for a winner to find their ticket code quickly during the draw.

All PDFs use a white background to minimise ink usage. When printing from your PDF viewer, set margins to None or Minimum for best results. For stub sheets, use a paper cutter rather than scissors for cleaner cuts.

The seed is the master key to the draw. Every ticket code assignment and every winner selection is derived mathematically from the seed + student data. Given the same seed and the same student data you will always get the same tickets and the same winners. This means:

• If you type a fixed seed before recalculating, you can print tickets in advance and trust they'll match the draw.
• The audit CSV records the seed, so any draw can be independently verified by anyone with this tool and the same student data.
• If you leave the seed blank, a random one is generated and stored — it's shown in the recalculate warning dialog and always saved to the audit CSV.

If you edit student amounts or import new data after tickets have been generated, a warning dialog appears. It shows the current seed and offers a download of the current audit before you proceed. Proceeding invalidates the ticket pool — you'll need to recalculate with a new seed before running a draw.

Every amount in the system is built from individual transactions, never a single overwrite. Each import batch records its filename, date, mode, and every row it contained. Manual edits via the inline cells create their own "manual adjustment" batch. You can inspect or remove any individual transaction without affecting others. This means the full history of how every dollar was recorded is always available.

• Name your fundraiser first — the name appears on every PDF and CSV export, making files easier to identify later.
• Use the seed field for a live event — set a seed, publish it before the draw as a transparency measure, then run. Anyone can verify the result is not manipulated.
• Print tickets the day before — generate tickets with a fixed seed, print the PDF, then run the draw the next day with the same seed. Students get their physical stubs in advance.
• Use Reveal Controls for drama — set it to show only Ticket Code, so the announcer reads out the code and the winner has to come forward. Then reveal Teacher, then Name.
• Multiple import rounds — use Accumulate mode for each new collection period. Each import appears separately in the history so you can track which students paid in each round.
• Import History on Fundraiser Manager — review every import batch before the draw to catch duplicates or data errors. You can delete individual rows or whole batches.
• Export before Reset — the Reset ALL Data button on Fundraiser Manager is permanent. Always export or download the audit CSV first if you need a record.
• The Exclude checkbox — useful for staff children, prize donors, or anyone who should not be in the draw. Their donation still counts toward class totals and stats.
