Do you want to add something extra to your next Meetup? Everyone likes getting free prizes and swag, right? But, you have more people attending than things to give away. Now you can use this plugin to hold a drawing for the free prize!
This plugin will connect to the Meetup.com API and select a random member of your Meetup who RSVPed to your event so you can give a prize at the event.
To use, install the plugin, activate, and add your Meetup.com API key in the settings. Next, add the shortcode [meetup_winner eventid=”110963702″] to any page on your site and replace the number with the Event ID of your Meetup Event. Whenever you visit that page or refresh the page a new winner will be selected.

Give away prizes and swag to a random attendee who RSVPed to your meetup!

And The Winner Is… is a WordPress plugin that helps you manage product giveaways by allowing you to mark posts as “contests”. Each contest has a user-specified number of winners that can be selected at random from comments for that giveaway post.
The problem is a simple one. Many site owners run contests that allow entries as comments on a blog post, but managing entries and randomly selecting winners is a chore. And The Winner Is… helps to solve this problem by managing the comment entries and winners by selecting those winners at the click of a button.
