Frequently Asked Questions
Ghost Picker is a comment picker built for Snapchat Spotlight giveaways and contests. You paste in your post, it pulls the public comments, and it draws a random winner for you. No manual counting, no scrolling for an hour, no arguing about who really won.
Ghost Picker is a Snapchat Spotlight comment picker for giveaways and contests. It's for creators, brands, and anyone running a giveaway on Snapchat who wants to pick a winner quickly and fairly instead of counting comments by hand. If you can paste a link, you can use it.
It collects the public comments on your Spotlight post, applies any filters you set (like a keyword or removing duplicate entries), and then runs a random draw across the eligible entries. Every valid comment gets the same odds.
Post your giveaway on Snapchat Spotlight and let people comment to enter. When it's time to draw, give Ghost Picker the post, let it pull the public comments, set any filters you want, and hit pick. It draws a random winner in seconds, and you can export the full entry list as a record.
