I didn't expect a reply, that's nice! I was just making an observation. It's even better because I am currently creating the first ASCII file for previous draws for the UK National Lottery (which is quite tedious) so it's good to have a distraction from the tedium!!! By the way, in the UK we also have a 'Thunderball' draw (maybe similar to your powerball? I don't know) whereby we pick 5/34 AND 1/14, but to win the JackPot (which is GUARANTEED £250,000 - approx US$350,000) you must get the 1st 5/34 PLUS the 'thunderball' (1/14) do you currently have any software or systems that can work with that lotto games? Really enjoy the site, best of luck to you.

The most powerful software capable of handling the ThunderBall is known to the world as MDIEditor and Lotto. It has specific functions that crunch two types of ThunderBall games: '5+1' and '6+1' (in case one will pop up!) The '5+1' is the most common type of ThunderBall lotto. The application uses the term 'Powerball' for this type of games. The 'Powerball' function in MDIEditor and Lotto works with Powerball, Big Game Mega Millions, Thunderball, etc. It does not cover Euro Millions, however.
• Not to mention, MDIEditor and Lotto WE is totally free!
