Managing Giveaways

Once a giveaway is live you can watch it, draw early, reroll, or cancel it. Everything is available on the dashboard and through /giveaway subcommands.

Slash commands#

Command	What it does
/giveaway list	Show the server's live giveaways and their IDs.
/giveaway end <id>	End a running giveaway now and draw the winners.
/giveaway reroll <id> [count] [winner]	Draw fresh winners, excluding the previous ones. Pass count to set how many to redraw, or winner to replace one specific winner.
/giveaway cancel <id>	Cancel a giveaway with no draw and close the message.

Every giveaway has a numeric ID shown in /giveaway list and on the dashboard.

From the dashboard#

Configuration → Giveaways lists active, scheduled, and ended giveaways with a live entry count. For each one you can:

• View entrants: a paginated list of everyone who entered, fast even at thousands.
• End now: draw immediately instead of waiting for the timer.
• Reroll: redraw all winners, or replace a single winner, excluding anyone who already won.
• Cancel: stop the giveaway without drawing.

How the draw works#

At the end (timed or manual), Zira:

1. Pulls the entrants and re-validates each against the current requirements, skipping anyone who left or no longer qualifies.
2. Draws the configured number of distinct winners, weighted by any bonus entries.
3. Edits the giveaway message to show the winners and replies with a ping.
4. DMs the winners (unless you turned DMs off).

If there aren't enough valid entrants, Zira draws as many winners as it can and says so.

Rerolling#

A reroll always excludes previous winners, so you won't redraw the same person. Reroll the whole set, or replace one specific winner, from the dashboard or /giveaway reroll.
