Yes, sweepstakes management platforms integrate prize fulfillment directly into their workflow. The platform handles winner management, selection, notification, verification, and digital prize distribution in one place.
Ecommerce businesses, digital product creators, course providers, graphic designers, and service-based businesses need straightforward fulfillment. You’re already juggling multiple systems—your platform shouldn’t make fulfillment harder.
How Prize Fulfillment Works with Sweepstakes Management Platforms
Sweepstakes platforms handle fulfillment through a structured workflow:
Winner Selection → Winner Notification → Winner Verification → Prize Delivery
Sweeppea builds this workflow directly into your campaign dashboard. The system selects winners randomly and tracks every step. You control the process without switching tools.
Winner Management and Selection
The platform manages your winner pool and executes random selection. You set the parameters—number of winners, drawing date, and eligibility requirements. The system handles the rest.
Sweeppea’s winner management tracks:
- Total entries received
- Winners selected
- Verification status
- Prize delivery completion
How Do Platforms Notify Winners?
Modern platforms notify winners through multiple channels:
Email Notifications
- Automatic winner emails with clear instructions
- Customizable templates matching your brand
Text Message Alerts
- Instant SMS notification to winners
- Immediate delivery confirmation
Phone Outreach
- Direct phone contact for high-value prizes
- Personal touch for major campaigns
Sweeppea sends notifications through all three channels. Winners receive immediate confirmation regardless of their preferred communication method.
Does Sweeppea’s Sweepstakes Platform Handle Winner Verification?
Winner verification protects your business and ensures legal compliance. Sweeppea’s platform manages verification by:
- Automatically notifying winners via email, text, or phone
- Tracking response deadlines (typically 5-7 days)
- Providing digital affidavits and release forms for electronic signatures
- Requesting a copy of a valid government-issued ID and selfie
- Managing alternate winner selection if primary winners don’t respond
Winners complete affidavits and release forms directly through the platform. No printing, scanning, or mailing required. Digital signatures streamline the entire verification process.

- Restaurant chains
- Entertainment platforms (Netflix, Spotify)
Access Codes
