Plinko
Plinko drops a chip through a pin board on the thank-you page — it bounces down and lands in a slot at the bottom. Land on a prize slot and the ticket wins. It’s one of the Giveaway Lottery instant-win mini-games.
Requires: WooCommerce and the free Giveaway Lottery plugin (Pro for auto-generated numbers and full prize delivery). See Instant Win Games — Shared Setup for the complete setup process; this page covers what’s unique to Plinko.
The Game
- Each purchased ticket is one ball drop.
- The ball bounces through the pegs into a bottom slot.
- Win: the ball lands in a prize slot showing the prize icon.
- Miss: the ball lands in an edge/decorative slot.

Pro tip: More peg rows make the drop path look more random and exciting; keep the slot count odd so a center “grand prize” slot sits directly under the drop point.
