How to select winner from contest entries.

    At mmlibrary.org/drawing I have a form to take entries in a contest drawing. ( I'm a Gravity newbie, but have some experience with css and PHP.)

    I've searched the forum and searched the net, but can't figure out the best way to "draw a random winner" at the end of the contest.

    Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

    There isn't any built in functionality to select a random entry. I would just try using an online random number generator, set it's minimum and maximum to the number of entries that form has and let it generate a random number and then go to that entry and use that as your winner.

    Here is a random number generator:

    Thanks, Carl. I wondered if there was something more "elegant" or built in, but that will certainly work.

    And you get an A+ for speed - my keyboard was almost still warm from typing my question!
