Dynamic Drive DHTML Scripts- Lottery Picker

Lottery Picker

Note: Last modified Jan 15th, 02 by Dynamic Drive for ability to specify how many numbers to generate, and for each number, the lower/upper bound.

Description: Chuck your superstitions to the side, and put your lottery dreams in this script instead! It allows you to specify how many numbers to randomly generate, and for the numbers themselves, the lower and upperbound (ie: between 1 and 49). Such versatility means you can use the script for any lottery system, or simply as a unique random numbers generator.

Demo:
