Random Winner Script

Hi, I think this will be really simple for those in the know but the easy way eludes me.

Just for fun looking to use a list of ten names (in excel list or inline) and I want too, on a refresh, get a name selected on that list as a random  'Winner'? Only going to schedule for once per month and only for fun.

Any simple load script ideas?

 

Thanks

give each name ID from 1 to 10. In script, create a random number, assign it to variable and pick a winner like that:

 

Let vWinner = Ceil(Rand()*10) //this will create a value from 1-10

Then in frontend show Name where it's ID equals the variable vWinner - Only({<ID={$(vWinner)}>}Name)

Winner changes with each reload unless you specify condition
