 * I am having problems getting get_option to work the way I would think it does.
   When I register my plugin, I use the following to add the 2 options for my plugin.
 *     ```
       add_option('wordpress_giveaway_plugin_require_registration', true, __('Entrant Must Be Registered?'),'yes');
       		add_option('wordpress_giveaway_plugin_daily_entry', true, __('Entrant Can Only Enter Once Per Day?'),'yes');
       ```
   
 * Which does enter the values into the options table as I would expect it to. But
   when I go to the options page for the plugin I do
 * `<?php if(get_option('wordpress_giveaway_plugin_daily_entry')) echo " checked";?
   >`
 * which should show checked by default. But it do not. So if I check the box and
   update options, it will show as checked until I close the browser, then it is
   back to unchecked.
 * Thank you in advance.

 * use
    `<?php checked('1', get_option('wordpress_giveaway_plugin_daily_entry'));?
   >`
 * You should use 1 or 0 instead of true or false when inserting the option
