    Yes it is  possible. If drawing is part of your promotion request you can publish the same. Else we need to send it separately.

    Yes, you just need to write code and insure there are rules so it doesn't download out of date content and that it has proper error handling if anything fails.  Or you can purchase such a solution from a PTC Partner that is already developed and supported.
