The lottery add-on allows you to setup single or recurring lotteries where users can play and win points. You can setup lotteries to pick winners at random or setup a lotto type lottery where users need to pick and match winning numbers that the plugin draws.
As of version 2.0, the add-on supports three types of lotteries: Raffles, Member Draws and Lottos. You can setup an unlimited number of lotteries as long as your WordPress website has enough visitors and server resources to handle them all.

The lottery add-on requires your website to have at least 96M memory available. Of course this value depends on your websites setup. Large number of plugins / heavy plugins will require more from your server then a localhost installation with just the lottery add-on and myCRED enabled.
