I've moved my website to a different server and now when I go to /lottery.php all I see is a white page. Any help would be appreciated.

[LilPimp]

awsome ive been looking for this for awhile .. you are the man.

[Jhonnydc]

news???

[JTS2005]

anyway to incorporate paypal system so that we can charge per # of tickets bought? I think this would be a great idea for those that need a way to sell lottery tickets.

[kaderith]

So...did the developer for this just.. I dunno die or what?

This script has issues...like..now.. after upgrading to the 3.8 version of vBulletin..

It doesn't work anymore. It won't pick a winner.

Is the developer for this going to address any of the many questions posted or .. should we all just uninstall and consider this a lesson learned?

I'd like to pick this up and work on it if the author doesn't mind. I've already solved a few issues

That'd be awesome. I have so many uses for this, but I'm not installing an unsupported piece of software that obviously doesn't work right already. My forum is too new to be introducing features that don't even work right. Especially when I'm considering using it for cash prizes.

Talk about back lash.

Paul Please Do Since the author has been MIA for over 8 months. My First Lottery will end on the 30th and I'd hate to run into some of these issues listed. Thank You!

[mhackl]

Can't wait to see this one up and running. This could be very useful this Christmas.
