Where to put the codes

  • Photo: Product packaging

    Product packaging

    A code on every box. The lucky one is in one of them.

    ChatGPT prompt

    Photorealistic lifestyle photo, landscape 3:2 (1536 x 1024). A row of identical product boxes on a counter, each with a QR code; one box in the middle has a subtle golden glow and a few sparkles around it, as if it hides the big prize. The QR code is a clean, generic black-and-white QR pattern, sharp and in focus, clearly the subject of the photo. Warm natural light, shallow depth of field, soft shadows, editorial magazine look. Colour palette: warm off-white (#F4F2ED), charcoal (#16181D) and muted gold accents (#C9952B). No readable text, letters, numbers, logos or brand names anywhere in the image, no watermark. If people appear, show only hands or people from behind, never a recognisable face.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which code is the lucky one?

Under “Codes & winners” only you can see it. You can change it by hand or shuffle the prizes again.

Could nobody win?

With the draw at creation, the prize is already in one code: if that one is never scanned, it is not given. With the draw at the scan, the prize goes to someone who did scan.

How do I contact the winner?

With the details form: the winner leaves a name and phone or email, and you get an email at once. You also see the details in the giveaway.

Do I need terms?

For a big prize, yes. Add a link to your terms and it shows on every page.
