Unlike many others, this one is 100% random. MaxLotto started its life as a simple Arexx script, it then evolved into a blitz program. Now in its v2.x stages of life, MaxLotto is a full program written using Blitz. MaxLotto doesn't just display random lottery numbers. It also displays random Machines (such as Lancelot and Arthur), as well as random bonus balls and "set of balls" numbers. This makes MaxLotto one of the most advanced Amiga random lottery programs available. Features: ø Display *random* lottery numbers, lottery machines, bonussballs and "set of balls" numbers. ø Ability to output the results to a file for later usage. ø Ability to print to PTR: with an optional header so that you can rush down to the corner shop and enter your numbers. ø Script-Output-Mode enabling script writers to use MaxLotto to their full potential. Example ideas for usinggMaxLotto in scripts include... ø IRC Scripts ø Startup-Sequences ø ø Cyclone Scripts ø Spot Scripts  ø Installation & Usage: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To install MaxLotto simply copy it to your desired location and it will be ready to run! To use MaxLotto simply type "MaxLotto" in at a Shell/CLI prompt. For advanced usage see "Command Line Arguments". Command Line Arguments: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -? - Information about the program. -F - Save output to a text file -P - Print the output to PRT: Option to add your own header. -S - Script output mode. Useful for writing scripts. Argument: -? Result: This will display usage information about MaxLotto, and a short description of each argument. Argument: -F Result: This will save the output to a text file. You could then read this at a later date or attach it to a document -- whatever you feel is right for you. *NOTE:* At current if the document RAM:MaxLotto.out exists, MaxLotto will overwrite it.
