App summary

This application can help you make draws with animated images, like a movie.
You can organize events such as a raffle or secret friend with this app, or just use it as a random numbers generator.
Put numbers or names in the paper bag, shake the bag and see the paper strip with the name drawn.
Allows more than one winner per draw (keep drawing after obtaining the first result).
You can also set a draw with repetition. In this case, the same name/number can be drawn more than once.
Another useful feature is to save in a file (export) the list of names entered in the current draw, so that it can later be retrieved (import).
The list of names can also be generated in any text editor of your choice and saved in a "txt" file, then imported into the app.

NEW FEATURE: as of version 0.84, there is a random numbers generator for lotteries.

If you have any questions, please see the integrated help.

I like it, but you can't edit, and you can't make different numbers of draws per item.
