Raffle/Lottery Hack For phpbb

    Hi everyone,

    I've found a raffle/lottery hack:
    http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/1198

    but I don't think it does what I want it to. Basically I just want people to be able to use their points/cash (I call them Raffle Entries) to enter for a chance to win a prize. The prize could be anything from a book to software to anything else I can think of (or afford!).

    The reason why I don't think the above hack will do what I want is this line from the description:

    It works more like a raffle, only the entry fees from everyone entered are added into a base amount you can specify to find out the amount rewarded.

    This makes it sound like the winner gets X amount of points/cash, which is not what I want. I want all the points/cash that people enter in the raffle to "disappear."

    Anyone know anything that does this sort of thing?

    Thanks!

    But this hack currently requires PHP 4.2.0 or greater due to seeding not being specified in the randomizer when it picks the winner. If you use a version lower, it will always pick 1.
