Raffle Tool Kit

Version 1.0

The most accessible and modern raffle application for Windows.

What is Raffle Tool Kit?

The Raffle Tool Kit is a native Windows application designed for fair, fun, and accessible winner selection. Built using BGT (Blastbay Game Toolkit), it features a special focus on users of Screen Readers like NVDA and Jaws, ensuring everyone can participate in the excitement.

Key Features

Fair & Unpredictable

Using interaction-based randomness, every roll depends on the exact millisecond of your input. No patterns, no predictions—just true chance.

No Repeats

The app automatically ensures a number doesn't win twice in the same session, maintaining a unique pool of potential winners until you choose to reset.

Accessible Design

Full integration with NVDA and other screen readers. All menus, inputs, and results are spoken directly by the computer for a seamless experience.

Audio Immersion

Features encrypted background music and sound effects. You can fine-tune your experience by adjusting Music, SFX, and Master volumes independently.

History Management

Browse through past winners directly in the app or export the entire session list to a professional .txt file for documentation.
