Lesson 10: How to actually give money to the raffle winner?

[Suhel-Kap]

Okay I know this might be a dumb question, but I really need to know this

So on a local chain, we deployed the scripts/mockOffChain.js script to find the winner. But how do we actually end the raffle? Let's suppose that I deployed this on Rinkeby and 100s of people entered the raffle. How then do I pick a random winner? What steps do I have to follow?

@Suhel-Kap After every 30 seconds (this time we specified) you can run this script, and if there will be all of the things true that we mentioned in the checkUpkeep function, it will return us the winner and resets everything, means resets players to 0, amount to 0, etc.

Which script? mockOffChain.js ?

But doesn't that run only for a local node?

@Suhel-Kap Yes, for the automatic you need to publish it to testnet or mainnet.
