>I modified the code to pick random numbers from a range of 1 to 48 (lottery choices) so lottery results could be plugged in daily and the results would eliminate those number groupings that had already been selected. During the initial process of picking the unique possible number groups from the range, I decided to stop it when it reached 4 hours... My cpu temperature was getting rather hot! Sortof like the seti stuff I used to run...I figured someone had already built a database with that information anyway so I was duplicating effort. Now just to find it... :o)

You're aware that all outcomes are independent and equally likely? So tracking previous hits won't do you any good whatsoever, in theory. "Gambler's fallacy" such tracking has been called...

But, yeah, I do it too sometimes, statistical degree or not... :-)
