Deep Dive: The Draft Assistant

From winner announcements to email campaigns, the Draft Assistant helps lottery operators create polished marketing and communications content in minutes — all grounded in your organization's voice and brand.


Running a charitable lottery means constantly communicating with your audience. Draw reminders, winner announcements, early bird promotions, sponsor thank-you's, media releases, social media posts — the content demands are relentless. Most lottery teams don't have a dedicated marketing department, which means these tasks fall on the same people managing operations, compliance, and customer service.

The Draft Assistant was built to take the blank-page problem off your team's plate. Tell it what you need — a social media post about your upcoming draw, an email to past ticket buyers, a press release about a grand prize winner — and it produces polished, publication-ready content that sounds like your organization wrote it.

Key capabilities

How teams use it

The most common Draft Assistant workflows we've seen from early operators include weekly social media content batches, where teams generate a full week's worth of posts in a single session. Others use it for rapid winner announcement cycles — from the moment a winner is confirmed to having a polished media release ready in under five minutes.

Campaign launch sequences are another popular use case. Operators generate a coordinated set of content — launch email, social posts, website copy, and reminder emails — all in one sitting, ensuring consistent messaging across every channel.

What's next

The Draft Assistant will soon receive a major redesign with a two-column writing studio layout, giving teams more space to compose and refine content side by side. We're also exploring campaign templates and multi-channel content generation from a single brief.
