Thanks a lot for this plugin.
It’s a must have to made a nice random draw. Easy to setup, it can’t be easier to use. I agree with Makeworthy Media, this plugin deserves a lot more reviews.
So, a trick that could be interesting to set up is to see the scrolling of names. This way, we could record a video of the draw to allow those who commented to see how the draw unfolded. But hey, that’s just a suggestion!
Thanks again!

I don’t know why this plugin is not having more reviews. It does exactly what I was looking for. I need to draw users who commented on a specific blog post as a winner. You can even say how many comments should be drawn as a winner, I thought I need to run the draw three times, but I was more than happy to see that you can even select multiple winners. Beyond that the plugin lets you decide how to treat duplicate entries, from a ban of the user, to just ignore more than one entry up to allow all entries done. Excellent – nothing more I wanted or need.
However, I fear that it will disappear from the repository as it received its last update three years ago!? What a pity that would be. The 1 star rating is absolutely unfair and should be deleted or ignored!!!

I’ve used this plugin for years. Works every time.

Full disclosure: I am the plugin author. Someone just left a 1-star review because they misunderstood what the plugin is supposed to do. I thought I’d help balance out the average by leaving my own review.
Just to be clear, this plugin randomly selects a comment from a post. It only works if you’re logged into WordPress and go to Tools -> Pick Giveaway Winner. It does not insert anything into a post/page. It does not let you ask your visitors a question. I’m leaving a 5-star review because the plugin does what it says it does.

No details on how to insert it into a post/page and no way to change/customise the question you want to ask.
