The lottery system i was working on was giong to be kinda a "raffel" system....in that each number was unique, and no ticket had a duplicate set of numbers...from 1 to 54....and you picked or got a random 6 numbers.

You could adapt this to do a raffle system...raffle off items at events and what not....just a thought cause i dunno if i will get my system finished or not.

great work though
In theory yes, this was the problem i had, i didn't think about the game rules very well at the start and in the end the code did what the code was told to do... in short, the wrong thing.

Raffle's i think consist of one ticket with one number per ticket, 1 to xyz... xyz being the number of the last ticket bought, then a number is selected for the draw. Or you have 1st, 2nd & 3rd prizes and draw 3 numbers for the draw.

I guess you could have 3 items for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Thinking about it probably an easier system to create.
