I have this table called my_users
my_id | name | raffle_tickets
1 | Bob | 3
2 | Sam | 59
3 | Bill | 0
4 | Jane | 10
5 | Mike | 12
As you can see Sam
has 59
tickets so he has the highest chance of winning. Chance of winning:
Sam
=59/74
Bob
=3/74
Jane
=10/74
Bill
=0/74
Mike
=12/74
PS: 74
is the number of total tickets in the table (just so you know I didn't randomly pick 74
)
Based on this, how can I randomly pick a winner, but ensure those who have more raffles tickets have a higher chance of being randomly picked? Then the winner which is picked, has 1 ticket deducted from their total tickets
UPDATE my_users
SET raffle_tickets = raffle_tickets - 1
WHERE my_id = --- Then I get stuck here...
