4. Deal Timeline & How Deals Close
How Timing Works
- • Deals do not have specific deadlines or end dates
- • Deals only close when all tickets are sold out
- • Winners are selected shortly after the last ticket is purchased
- • You'll be notified via email and in-app notification if you win
What Happens Next
- 1. Deal closes when all tickets are sold out
- 2. Random winner selection process begins immediately
- 3. Winner is announced (usually within 24 hours)
- 4. Winner has a limited time to claim their prize

How It Works
Since deals only close when sold out, popular items may sell out quickly while others may take longer. Keep an eye on tickets remaining to gauge how fast a deal might close.
