Download Version 1.0

How are the winners randomly selected?

The plugin uses MySQL's RAND() function to pick the winners directly from the database.

Why does it take so long to choose a winner?

The more comments your post has, the longer it will take to parse the data and determine a winner. Also, if you choose to "Discard multiple entries, but allow the entrant a single entry" the plugin has to do an additional database query to get your results, which takes more time. Be patient and your results will be returned as soon as possible.
