When I set the lotto up on my forum, and the schedule task was preformed, it still showed the "Take a Ticket", but the person who won, it showed they won. Is this a bug or something?

Q: Have it installed and is working ok, I would like to post the results in a thread or group, At a loss on how to do this. Kind of a newbe admin for our guild, and new to vB. BTW: this rocks.

I see how to reset the lottery, but it still shows the number of tickets from the previous drawing. Shouldn't it discard all the old tickets? As it currently is, the "statistics" can actually list members that aren't part of the current lottery.

[sparky5693]

Is it possible to allow members who aren't part of the lottery see who won?
