Run a giveaway using Discord buttons one to enter, one to end manually. Avoids timers entirely
since BDFD limits timed events to 40 minutes max. Winner is DM’d automatically.
Add all commands with their triggers. Create two server variables: giveawayParticipants and
giveawayPrize with empty values.
Inspired by some random code found somewhere. Button-based design avoids BDFD's timer limitations. Includes a reroll command for picking a new winner after the fact.
