For the 2018 UC Tech conference, there was a need for a raffle application that would:

• Draw a winner from a list of entries
• Allow individual entries to be added to the pool
• Allow multiple entries to be added en masse
• Allow multiple winners to be drawn
  • While allowing the option of the previous winner to be either included or excluded from subsequent drawings
• Allow confirmation of the winner being present, otherwise re-draw
• Allow the reseting of the results
• Allow the resetting of all entries
• Allow for private drawings vs. public drawings
• Be recorded in a database
• Be reportable
• Be accessible without creating an account
• Be entirely mobile friendly

And just so happened that no such thing existed for our immediate use. I was presented the problem and within a day I had a working concept and within another day we had the full application up and running and being used live at the conference.

A month later we wrapped it up nicely and released it for use by anyone at our university.

The application is open-sourced and can be found at earlduque/ServiceNow-Raffle on GitHub.
