I can’t seem to wrap my head around this one. It should be fairly easy, but I am getting hung up on the best way to approach this.

I just want to be able to enter 20 to 100 names, click a button and have one randomly drawn. I am not sure if I should store the names in an array, xml or what. Any ideas would be appreciated.
