                     UK Lottery Random Number Generator

                      � Archimedes World 1995

Introduction.

So you have been playing the National Lottery for a few months now but never
won anything. This program makes it easier to pick numbers than trying to
work from permutations or trying to work from a theory.

This utitilty was written after reading about a calculator type device which
can be bought in the U.S. for selecting 'random' lottery numbers.
So this is the RISC OS equivalent for the UK National Lottery.

How To Use:

After loading !Lottery, simply select the !Lottery Icon from the desktop
now select the 'Start' icon the program will generate six numbers for you.
If you wish to choose another six numbers just select the 'Start' icon once
again. We wish you the best of luck...
