Holly Jolly Jackpot

Each student’s name added to the wheel increases their chances to win a prize. Participants must adhere to the game's rules, ensuring fairness and promoting engagement. On a specified date, the digital wheel spins, and a computer randomly selects the winner.

By combining fun and rewards, the Holly Jolly Jackpot motivates students to strive for excellence and fosters a positive school environment.
