The process, for anyone who's curious, is a simple one. Keep the emails with the correct entries, discard the incorrect ones. Determine how many correct entries there are (let's call that "x") and use a random number generator to select a number between 1 and x -- let's call that "y". Count up chronologically through the correct entries until you reach "y", and we have a winner!
