Jantje Beton's Lottery Checker. This plugin is used by thousands of people to check whether they have won a prize in the lottery. The website Jantje Beton is the winner of the Usability Awards 2011 in the non-profit category!
Jantje Beton is a non-profit organization in the Netherlands. They hold an annual lottery and they needed a mechanism that would allow lottery holders to check if their number is a winner. This plugin has a back-end that allows the client to manage it, and a widgetized font-end that can be placed in different sections of the website. The development process of this plugin involved heavy use of regular expressions to determine whether the number matches and what kind of prize it gets.
