  2. Export PNG after a public draw if you want a screenshot of the result.
  3. Check the Results tab if you need a quick history of recent winners.
  4. Shuffle entries before an important spin so segment order does not look fixed.
  5. Use remove-winner when you need several unique picks from the same list.
