Overview
Start a giveaway with /giveaway start, set a prize, duration, and number of winners, and choose whether members enter with a button or a reaction. Java Lava draws winners automatically the moment time runs out and posts the result. No need to come back and pick manually.
A giveaway can require a role to enter, and a reroll is available afterward if a winner doesn't claim their prize.
