G'day Kent,
Thanks for the input.

G'day,
Added a power ball option to the lotto program today. The program does way
more then I ever intended when I started it so I'll try a new project. Maybe
I'll come back to it when I try out Tkinter and try to give it a GUI.
Anywayhere's my latest effort.

G'day :)
I've added a little more to the program. It now sorts the game numbers from
lowest to highest which makes filling out the tickets a lot easier, I've

G'day,

better way of doing it then the way I have.
I understand that the

Thats always a good idea! :-)

G'day :)
I started getting sick of reading tutorials so for a bit of a break I set
myself the task of writing a program to pick lotto numbers, 6 numbers
between 1 and 44 (inclusive). I had done this many years before in basic and
I thought back then it would be a simple task but I struck a prob
