An idea

I was wondering if this can be possible to add this

Example

What is the name of our Prime Minister in 2006

These will be radio buttons

  1. Garden Brown

  2. Tony Blair

  3. Mickey Mouse

You would then pick one of these questions and click the submit button which will take you to a payment page you would pay the fee once payment has completed it will be submitted to the site owner at the bottom or top it'll tell you what you are going to win if you submitted the right question (Example you will win £1000) then the system will automatically enter your name and depending on how many people you want to win will then get £1000 submitted to the accounts they submitted can this be done if this does not make sense then does ask me and I'll try and explain it better.

Just an aside...

I wish Number 3 had been our Prime Minister - both in 2006 and now!

Re: An idea

Noting that you're in the UK, what you're suggesting is illegal unless you have the appropriate license. I recommend that you contact the Gambling Commission before taking it further.

As a consumer I note that you would be asking people to submit accounts into which to receive any winnings. To most people that would sound like a blatant scam to extract financial details.

Yes I know I would need a gambling licence and no it is not a scam it is just an extra income all I wanted to know is if it can be done on ZC.

Yes, it can be done via Zen Cart, though would need some custom programming.
