i had to manually draw the raffle on many occasions

Check your server's timezone settings.

Your 10:00am may not be your server's 10:00am.

See this post for an in-depth explanation..

EDIT: Also on very low traffic sites, the scheduled tasks can take forever to be triggered. They are run in order with each visit to your site. All scheduled tasks require visitors to trigger them. So if there are say 15 scheduled tasks ahead of the raffle draw, those 15 must run first. And if you have 1 visitor per hour, the raffle will draw about 15 hours late.

To prove this out, once you know your SERVER'S 10:00am has passed, hit refresh while on your main page and do the same with the scheduled tasks displayed in ACP, you'll see them rotate up. Eventually the raffle draw will happen. On my site which is very low traffic, I've seen it run as much as 7 hours late. If you would like to see a record of times the test raffle on my site has been drawn, look here.. http://snogssite.com/forumdisplay.ph...Raffle-Results That forum holds a record of draws for about the last 30 days, but that never-ending raffle has been running and being drawn daily since July 2011.
