Here's a simpler version of SuperLotto which takes advantage of the no-duplicate feature of #ADDITEM. Feel free to use it when you make your program.
#AL SuperLotto2 {#VAR SuperLottoNum "";#WHILE (%numitems( @SuperLottoNum) < 6) {#ADDI SuperLottoNum %random( 1, 45)};#ECHO {Your SuperLotto picks are: %expandlist( @SuperLottoNum, " ")}}

Evangelist: All these do are generate random sets of numbers for people who play a lottery.

EDIT: Added missing }.

Thanks Lightbulb, I hadn,t got around to messing with #while and you striped down script was a good example of it,s use.

Evangelist
Yes all they do is generate lotto numbes for different types of lotto games incase your into that kind of stuff

And don't forget that
#VAR SuperLottoNum ""
could also be
SuperLottoNum=""

Nemur, soory it took so long to get back to you but I have been out of town.

This script was originaly created for picking lottory number at random just like as if you would go buy a lottery ticket at a store and ask them to auto pick thenumbers for you. I just thought it would be a fun tool to use and I actualy have played the numebers I get so far I have a 1 out of 25 win to loss, wich is better than I was doing just picking them myself. On the superlotto and major ones I am sad to report I have not won yet, but I did notice that I have gotten a lot closer useing my program.

Now I am sure results may very and are left for interpretation.

On your question, if your running a lotto game inside a mud I have some tips for you and I actually have thought of putting the game into a whole script.

Tips:

You need to set up a bot or script so when people come to you they can either give you numbers or get them auto from you.

Keep track of them and there numbers

set rules

set a deadline for last time any number will be takin and the drawing time.

use this script to randomly get the numbers and then have a serch to find the winner

notify winner give deadline for picking up prize

RANDOM
Ther is not true random when it comes to the Zmud program, I have tested this time and time again, and confermed that under the right cercumstances one could easily get the same numers over and over again
You could alsomathmaticaly figure out the number from one insatnt to the next IF you where the one with the script.

That being said the only reason I did not make the bot is because rvry mud is different and I wanted something that everyone could use.

Dredging this up again, because I was looking at how to do something with %random and saw the %dice command.

Rather than
#ALIAS Pick3 {LottoPick3="";#loop 1,3 {#VAR LottoPick3 %additem(%random(1,9),@LottoPick3)};#echo %ansi(high,Blue)%replace(@lottopick3,"|","")}
.....etc....

why not just use:
#ALIAS Pick {Pick%1}
#ALIAS Pick3 {#ECHO %dice(1d9) %dice(1d9) %dice(1d9)}
#ALIAS Pick4 {#ECHO %dice(1d9) %dice(1d9) %dice(1d9) %dice(1d9)}
#ALIAS Pick5 {#ECHO %dice(1d9) %dice(1d9) %dice(1d9) %dice(1d9) %dice(1d9)}

Works for me quite well.
Shorter, cleaner, and no vars to worry about.
Danged if i could come up with something for the Superlotto tho. :-)

In all actuality this probably could get done in several different ways and it probably be streamlined in different places. The fact is I use those VAR's where intended for use in giving out numbers to other mud players and recording them for later use.

example:
You could make a bot and set him/her/it in a location and people could come to him to play the daily lotto. they buy the lotto ticket from you and come back later to see if they won. You collect a percentage of all money played and you collect if person does not return to get there money and other stuff. The VAR's help keep track of that for me.

I also have a buddy program I wrote trying to crack the pick 3 number of the day in real life, so far my program in theory has struck the winning number 7 out of 10 times, not bad but I want it a little higher maybe 8 out of 10.

after being gone a really long time and looking through my old scripts, this one bugs me the most as it is the least finished.
I originally wrote this program with way more functions and the ability to do as exactly as I described ideas to Nemur.

I hope soon to share it all with all of you.

To DeathDealer: I do not use .%dice because it can not use 0, all the lotto"s in My state have 0's
A better use would have been: .%random (999) for Pick 3 and so forth and so on.
