def receipt():
for i in range(8):
name = raw_input("Please enter a name: ")

Please wrap your code in the code-tag

I'm not going to sit here and guess what your program is trying to do by looking at a syntax incorrect script.

I don't get your question and, what you really want to do.

If it is what I think you can just check if the name of the current customer is the name of the winner and display the message.

But fot it to be logic, you ahould be saving all those values in file, and showing the message the next time the customer would log.

Please close the thread if you think the problem is solved.

You might also want to think about your user input

name = raw_input("Please enter customer's name: ")
if name == "quit":

which will fail if the person enters a leading or trailing space around the 'quit'. Instead, I suggest if 'quit' == name.strip()

Please help!!!!
