Hello,
I have problems with the daily lottery.
Lottery should take a winner each 24 hours, right?
Well, my users won the same lottery few times, within 24 hours: (I replaced original logins with user1, user2, etc.)
I have/had the same problem. I 'fixed' it by changing the CRON to only run once a day. Problem is, it doesn't seem to know the difference between the daily and weekly lottery and runs them both daily even with the correct settings in the 'second' field.

Tahnk you! I hope this will work
So this mean I cannot run both, daily and weekly lottery?
Edit:
Lotteries works fine now.
If your lottery ends at 19.55, you should set cron to 20.00.
However i have found the cause. I do not know how to fix it, so if someone can help it would be apreciated.
The date for the lottery is extremly wrong. when i installed it a few days ago, the lottery date showed ending in april it is now into May. so in fact my lottery, is ending as soon as a member puts it on, they are all winners because they are the only ones to put it on before the lottery ends.
I have disabled the lottery on my board as users had worked it out and were using this to their advantage to gain points.

I had this problem too, I resolved it.
Go to vbPlaza Lottery -> Manage Lotteries -> Click on "Weekly Lottery" or other lottery you have.
Change Ending Time, that's all.
You can try but most probably you will have the same bug as me:
The first one who buy ticket in a lottery, allways win this lottery.
