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.

This plugin randomly selects a winner or winners from the comments of a giveaway post. It only lists the 100 most recent posts to reduce strain on your server. You can disqualify people who’ve entered more than once (determined by email), or reduce their entries to only one. The plugin uses MySQL’s random function RAND() to randomly select the winners directly from the database.

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.



Works as described

Randomly select a winner or winners from the comments of a giveaway post.
