# Raffle

The traditional raffle will allow for a certain number of winners to be randomly picked from the larger set of entries. It will accept entries for a specified amount of time, and when that time is over it will no longer accept user entries. Entries per user can be modified and/or limited using [Entry Requirements](/alphabot/raffles/entry-requirements.md).

Raffles can be set up to auto-finalize, which means that when the time limit has ended, Alphabot will automatically pick and announce the winners of the raffle without any more action needed to be taken by the creator.
