Sudden Death and Fainting Spell

I was just reading the rules again in preparation for re-taking my professor exam and the sudden death text just leapt out at me.

In the rules it says that in the case of Sudden Death - the player drawing the next prize card is considered the winner. So how does fainting spell work in this situation? if the gengar player succeeds in flipping heads are the players considered to be drawing their prize cards at the same time, or does the attacking player draw first?

(I lost a city championship recently due to exactly this - my opponent got lucky with his flip, kept our prizes even and then was able to knock out one of my pokémon during his turn...)

thanks!
 
You finish all effects before you check the game state for win conditions.
In the case of Fainting Spell, that has to be resolved before win states are checked for, so a Sudden Death is quite possible.
