I figured it out :)
In the "alias -l toplotto"
%toplotto needs to be %topwhat
Works like a charm now!

Thank you for that Karlien, change made in OP :-)
Apologies, I copied over the top alias without correctly editing/testing.

Additional: had to switch the aline %w around in the toplotto alias. ($2 $1) to ($1 $2)
I've been trying to set it up so that only ops can start the lotto but I keep !!*!ing it all up lol.
Maybe if I chop it into two parts with seperate commands?... Will keep at it.

Hi Karlien, recopy the entire alias section.
It's now working as it should. My apologies once again, I uploaded this copy without testing, but tested now and it's all fine.

To only allow Ops too start it, add this:
if ($nick isop $chan) {
Under the 1st line of each text event
and add a: }
just before the last }
Hope that makes sense.

Perfect. Thank you. I was making it way more complicated then it needed to be. lol

And did it word? How much did you win? Interesting to see the result of using it

Yes it works ;)

Works great, see if I can post some examples of what I did with it.
Other things in the room add to the lotto pot. Like abusing the bot, he'll take credits from you and put some in the lotto pot for the next time its active. You can also do !mylotto to see how many times you've entered and how much in total you've won per month.

Bot takes your 50 credits, puts 25 in the pot and puts your name in the crusty hat. Check the lotto status with !lotcheck.

Hello? Mcflies? I am now randomly selecting the lottery winner.
Bot reaches into the crusty hat, pulls out a name...
and the winner is...
(winner nick here) out of (number of people here) entrants. Congratulations!
You have won: (pot credits) credits, 1 carrot, 1 lockpick, 1 midget token and a smile :)

That sounds interesting Karlien!
You should make an upload and call it V2 ;)
