🏇 How to Win a Melbourne Cup Sweep with Prizes in 2024

1. >Under the second wheel, click "Edit" to replace the placeholder list with the names of participants in the sweep. If you have them ready, copy and paste the names of the people included in the sweep from a spreadsheet or text document, ensuring they're all on different lines.
2. Press the "Spin All" button to start allocating for the first country/region.
3. Once both wheels have finished spinning, the selected horse and person will be automatically removed from their respective wheels.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all countries and names have been allocated.

Tip: "Save" the sweep so you can review it later if necessary.

The above generator instructions work when you have exactly 24 people participating in the Melbourne Cup sweep.

Do You Have Fewer (or More) People than Melbourne Cup Runners?

Usually, there will be more or fewer people wanting to enter the Melbourne Cup sweep. Let's look at how to handle these scenarios below. When You Have Fewer People than Runners

If you have fewer people available than countries to choose from, it can be set up too. Let's take an example:

If you have 12 people participating in the Melbourne Cup sweep, do this:

1. Under the second wheel, click "Edit" to replace the existing list with the names of your sweep participants. Important: Add the list of names twice here (so each person will be allocated 2 horses).
2. Press "Spin All" to allocate one person to a horse. The selected horse and person will be automatically removed from the first wheel.
3. Repeat step 2 until completed.

When You Have More People than Runners

Let's say you have 72 people in the sweep. The way to handle this with the Melbourne Cup sweep generator is by following these steps:

1. Under the second wheel, click "Edit" to replace the existing list with the names of your 72 sweep participants.
2. Spin only the first wheel to select a horse. The selected horse will be automatically removed from the wheel.
3. Spin only the second wheel to select one person to be allocated to that horse. The selected person will be automatically removed from the wheel.
4. Spin the second wheel (only) again two more times. The selected three people will share the entry.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until completed.

Filled up? No worries, just reload the page and start again. It helps if you saved the list of participants in the second wheel as well.

The "Results" section of each sweep records all your allocated people and runners (in order).

🖥️ Melbourne Cup Sweep Generator Demo Options

If your Melbourne Cup sweep draw is happening in the office, click "Fullscreen" at the top menu to focus only on the wheels. We recommend putting it up on a big screen for people to gather and watch.

If you're drawing the Melbourne Cup sweep online, let those not in the office benefit by showing it to the group with a screen-sharing app. Again, using "Fullscreen" will give you the best experience.

When Are the Melbourne Cup Runners Announced?

The final places for the Cup are determined after the Victorian Derby Day races conclude, and the barrier draw has been completed! You can add the field to the first wheel if you wish or wait until shortly after we finish.
