Charity Website & Prize Draw

[WWWD]

I have been asked to designed a website for a local charity that will take donations online (via PayPal) but they have a prize on offer donated by a local travel agent of a weekend away in Rome for two.

The idea is that people will log onto the site, donate an amount (anywhere from ?5 to ?50 I suppose) and once the entry date is finished a person will be selected from random and that person will win the holiday.

I have set-up the PayPal payment and if a person makes a donation online then the Charity obviously get an e-mail receipt of payment.

Is there any software that can randomly select an e-mail message from a folder of these PayPal receipts or do you think there's a better way of selecting a person at random?

The Charity also will probably do the draw at a Charity dinner as well so the system will need shown in public.

Any ideas or advice would be helpful!

The simplest way around this is to list all the email address onto an exel spread sheet from 1 -1000 or how ever many then just let someone that has not seen the spreadsheet to choose a number between 1 -1000
