How to get a list of everyone who liked a facebook page

I will try to be as concise as possible.

Objective: Get a list of names of everyone who liked my Facebook page. This will be done in an application installed on that page. The app will then be used to create a lottery and chose a winner.

What I have so far is: appId, appSecret and an Acces-Token with me as an admin of that page. I have also found online that a query like this one would in fact do what I need:

*SELECT user_id from like where object_id = \'PAGE_ID\';'*

My question is : How do I run the query in order to make it work?

So far I have tried but all I get is an empty array...

$result2 = $facebook->api(array(
        'method' => 'fql.query',
        'access_token' => 'TOKEN',
        'query' => 'SELECT user_id from like where object_id = \'APP_ID\';'
        ));
        ;

Any help is appreciated, Thank you.

This is not possible - you can only check if a specific user likes the page, or retrieve a list of the pages a users likes (with appropriate permission), you can't retrieve a complete list of the users that like a specific page

{edit} As 'Query Master' said in a now-deleted answer, if your app is installed on a page tab, you can find out (via the signed_request sent to the app - details here ) if the current user likes the page, but you still can't get their user ID unless they authorise your app{/edit}
