You need to paste the key for the game you created the giveaway for in the key field, when the winner selects the reveal key they will be able to receive the key and activate it.

Thanks! But how do I find the product Key inside steam?

If you're buying the game through steam to giveaway you'll need to send a friend request to the winner, when they accept you'll need to buy the game as a gift and send it to them.

Also you can find out which cd key you set for GA on https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/created page

The problem was that I misunderstood what was the information required for that field. I wrote "1", because I thought I should type down the number of Products I was going to give. Completely stupid mistake.
I want to give this product away. I just need to discover what is the CD Key for the game I already have. But I'm googling it and the only thing that is shown is "right click on it and it should be there".

You cannot give away a game that you own on steam, you'll need to buy a new copy for the winner.
If the game is in your inventory https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198027221010/inventory/ then you'll need to add the winner, once they are on your friends list you can send the gift through steam. Otherwise you can send the gift to the email address of the winner from the 'Send Gift' button on the gift.

When you post a giveaway, it is because you are giving away the game. When you click to send the key, the person who won the game will get the key that you bought and paid for and entered when you created the giveaway.

Right click as in your own library?
Just checking in case that might be the issue and if that is the issue then I'm afraid you cannot give away games that are in your steam library as that key is used (by you) and cannot be used by a second person.
This counts for all the steam games, once locked in your library they're locked in there. At least as far as I know :)
(edit: someone please correct me if I'm wrong! o_o )
To give away a game you need a game code like from (example) humble bundle or a other site that sells steam games or buy it on steam itself and gift it directly to the user that won the game.
I hoped that helped a bit to either set that that is the issue or to rule it out.
Either way good luck and welcome to steam gifts.

Ok, I've got it all wrong then, I thought I was supposed to giveaway my own games, not buying a new version of them...

No worries, you are new. It can happen.
Hmm. I think the best you can do is try and contact the winner on steam and see if they would agree to delete the giveaway with reason that you misunderstood how this site works.
Edit: if they agree it is best to let them post it in the giveaway comments and then contact support with the question to delete it.
If they do not agree they always can flag it as not received.
But I'm afraid I do not have much knowledge on what not received works like so I hope someone else can be so kind to fill you in with that information in a better way then I can.

Thanks for the attention and for all the help.
I`ll try to contact both him and the support team then.

Hi everyone, Good Night.
So, I've just completed my first giveaway but it looks like something is wrong. There's a winner and I've clicked on "send key", but I've just realised that I don't have the slightest idea of how am I supposed to discover this key code.
The game is called "Pike and Shot: Campaigns" and when I right-click it there is neither a "show CD-Key" option there, nor does it on the Properties tab.
Please help me!
