Using this 2024 Grand National sweepstake generator kit could not be simpler. Here are the basic instructions:

1. Enter the names of the people included in the sweepstake in the second wheel (in the "Edit" area, replacing the dummy names).
2. When all names are in the box (a virtual 'hat'), press the 'Spin all' button and let the first horse allocation begin.
3. Once the wheels have spun and allocated a person to a race runner (horse), after a few seconds both names of the horse and the person will be removed from the wheel. That way they can't be drawn again.

What's more, all of your results are recorded (in order) in the 'Results' section for each draw. Good luck with your selected horse using this Grand National sweepstake kit for this year's race!

Understanding the Grand National sweepstake generator: A simple guide

Whether you're a horse racing aficionado or someone who simply enjoys the occasional flutter, the Grand National is an event that captures the imagination of the British public like no other. Office sweepstakes have long been a popular way to add an extra layer of excitement to the Grand National, even for those who might not ordinarily follow the sport. Thanks to modern technology, these sweepstakes can now be organised more easily and fairly using an online generator. But how does it work? Let's break it down for you in more detail.

The Basic Concept

The online Grand National sweepstake generator essentially comprises two virtual spinner wheels. The first wheel includes the names of all the horses participating in the race. The second wheel lists the names of individuals participating in the sweepstake. When spun, these wheels match a horse to a participant at random.

Why Use a Generator?

• Fairness: Since the process is automated and random, it ensures fairness. There's no human intervention that might unintentionally (or intentionally) skew the results.
• Convenience: Manually organising a sweepstake can be a bit of a faff, especially if you have a large group of people participating. With the generator, you can easily create and conduct your sweepstake with just a few clicks.
• Accessibility: People can participate from anywhere. All they need is a link to the generator, making it easy for friends and family who aren't geographically close to join the fun.

How to use the free Grand National sweepstake generator

1. Input names of participants: The first step is to enter the names of all individuals who wish to participate in the sweepstake. This populates the second spinner wheel.

2. Review the horse list: Generally, the first wheel is pre-populated with the names of the horses expected to participate. It's a good idea to double-check this list for any last-minute changes.

3. Spin the wheels: Once both wheels are ready, simply click the 'Spin' button. The wheels will spin and eventually stop, pairing a participant with a horse. If you have uneven numbers of people for the number of horses, adjust accordingly.

4. Record the Results: As each pair is generated, it's best to note down the results to avoid any confusion later. Our generator automatically records the outcomes in the Results tab.

5. Enjoy the Race: With the sweepstake sorted, all that's left is to enjoy the Grand National and see whose horse crosses the finish line first.

Fewer (or More) People than Grand National Runners? 

Navigating the waters of sweepstakes with a varying number of participants can be tricky, but worry not! Our Grand National sweepstake generator has got you covered. Given that the Grand National typically now has around 34 runners, let's look at how to tackle different scenarios.

When Fewer People than Runners

If you find yourself with fewer participants than horses in the race, fear not, for this is easily sorted.

For instance, should you have 12 people keen to partake in the Grand National sweepstake, follow these steps:

1. Below the second wheel, click on 'Edit' and replace the existing list with the names of your sweep participants. **IMPORTANT**: Because there are more horses than people, add each person's name multiple times (say, 3 to 4 times) so that each participant will be allocated multiple horses.
2. Press 'Spin all' to allocate a horse to a person. The selected horse and person will be automatically removed from their respective wheels.
3. Repeat step 2 until all allocations are complete.

If There Are More People than Runners

If you happen to have, say, 50 participants in your sweepstake, here's how to proceed:

1. Click 'Edit' under the second wheel and replace the existing list with the names of your 50 sweep participants.
2. Spin the first wheel to select a horse. The chosen horse will automatically be removed from the wheel.
3. Spin the second wheel to allocate a person to the selected horse. The chosen individual will also be auto-removed from the wheel.
4. If you like, spin the second wheel again, so that two (or more) participants can share the responsibility (and potential winnings!) of a single horse.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until all pairings are finalised.

Oops, Made a Mistake? 

No problem at all! Simply reload the page and commence anew. It might be helpful to have saved the list of participants on the second wheel for easy re-entry.

Viewing Your Grand National Sweepstake

In an Office Setting

If you're organising your Grand National sweepstake in a workplace, click on 'Fullscreen' in the top menu to focus solely on the wheels. A larger display where people can congregate to watch is highly recommended.

For Remote Participants

If some participants are not in the office, use a screen-sharing application to broadcast the sweepstake. Opting for 'Fullscreen' will offer the best viewer experience.

By following these steps, you'll ensure that your Grand National sweepstake is not only exciting but also as fair as can be. Whether you have more or fewer participants than runners, these methods guarantee an equitable distribution of horses, and of course, add a dash of thrill to this quintessentially British racing event.

Etiquette and Rules

While the generator simplifies the process, it's still important to adhere to the common etiquette of sweepstakes:

• Make sure all participants are aware of how the sweepstake will be conducted and how the winnings will be distributed.
• Ensure everyone is comfortable with the stake. The Grand National is about enjoyment, so it's crucial to keep it fun and inclusive.

So there you have it! Using the online Grand National sweepstake generator is a simple and fair way to add a bit more excitement to one of the most-watched sporting events in the UK. Whether you're rooting for the favourite or an underdog, the generator ensures that everyone has an equal chance for a thrilling win.
