I'll follow this thread but I don't believe there is, you'd have to have an opt-in form and Apple don't provide the details to devs of who has actually downloaded their app outside of the vague demographics. You could have a pop up that suggest users sign up somewhere for a daily draw or suggest it via push. Just thinking out loud.

You can possibly accomplish this through Urban Airship. I know going through the docs on the push notifications, there's a way to generate tags which you could easily sort then do a push to the winner. Just a thought. Here's the link to the tag api: http://urbanairship.com/docs/tags.html
