The largest Jackpot-Style Lucky Draw we’ve supported is for 500k participants with more than 4 million chances in total.
The Mosaic Wall / Thanos Lucky Draw can support either 144, 576, or 1296 concurrent photos being displayed on the digital mosaic wall. However, photos are constantly being swapped in and out. The largest participant pool the Thanos Lucky Draw has supported is 8,000.
The systems are able to support beyond that and just needs proper hardware and infrastructure configuration.
The participant information can be prepared using any spreadsheet tool like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Each row should correspond to 1 entry. You may include the participant’s name and other details in separate cells.
The background and mosaic overlay images should ideally be in JPEG format, recommended to be less than 700KB for efficient performance. The resolution of the image(s) should follow the live stream or projection resolution that you are using. In most cases, live streams are now running on a 16:9 ratio, e.g. 1920px * 1080px.
