I have a website and people sign up to receive e-mails and to make purchases. Is there away that I can put some code in and randomly pick a member to win a prize every month. If anyone can help that would be great.

How do you store the members email addresses?? If its in a database then you could simply create a random number and then that entry would win.

you can count the database to see how many records there are then randomly chose a number between 0 and that number. that number will be the winner at that record number.
