Default lotto/contest/random number gen?
Hi guys, I'm looking to impliment a contest system on my boards. What we do is purchase (for real) an item, usually expensive ($200-$500) and raffle it off to various members. What I would like to do is have some system where I can place certain members into the lottery and have some "forum-wide" visible random generator" pick the winner.

Any ideas if anything would be suitable?

I've done a search and seen there are lotto addons for the store hack, but I dont want to impliment something that complex, that's really targetted for RPG sites anyway.

Maybe something like a random "$bbusername" picker, that selects from a defined user group?

Is there a way I could enter some code into a post, something like
-----------------------------------
And the next winner is:
$bbusername[random]
-----------------------------------

from a particular/defined user group ID?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have been looking for something exactly like this for quite some time, but haven't had any luck.

Any info on this would be appreciated.

Thanks for any advice or help. One thing that is useful about vB3, it lets you put people into multiple sub-usergroups. So I could create a usergroup called "lotto" or something, and add ticket buyers into that usergroup as well as them being "registered" users. It could be very useful to exploit these sub-usergroups for something like this.

I know we are not coding for vB3 yet, but it's worth bearing in mind.

Yeah I would be interested in something liek this as well...

I'd perfer something that allowed users to enter the contest (registered users) and at the end of a specific time a random winner would be drawn. Or it could be a true contest where they try to get as many referals over a certain period of time (I'd really like this) Any help would be nice
