Set Giveaway Ticket Sales Start Date

From this date forward, customers can purchase tickets to participate in the promotion.

Set Giveaway Ticket Sales End Date
Choose the date on which ticket sales for your giveaway product will close in your WooCommerce lottery or WordPress giveaway system. After this date, customers will no longer be able to purchase tickets, and the product will no longer be available for participation. Setting an accurate end date ensures a clear timeline for participants and helps manage the giveaway draw process effectively.

Set Lottery Draw Date
Select the date on which the giveaway or lottery draw will take place. This is the scheduled date when the winner(s) will be automatically revealed based on your configuration. The draw date plays a critical role in managing the countdown timer, winner announcement, and overall campaign timeline. Ensure this date is set after ticket sales have ended to maintain fairness and transparency in the giveaway process.
Key Notes:
- The draw date controls when the “Winner Reveal” button becomes active.
- Make sure all ticket sales are closed before the draw occurs.
- The countdown timer will use this date to display the remaining time on shop and product pages (if enabled).
- This setting applies to both simple and variable products.
