I've only begun programming in PHP so there's probably a better way, but here's a
Random Powerball picker example:
<h2>
Your Lucky PowerBall Number:<br>
<?
//seed the random generator
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
//choose the 5 main numbers 1-49
for($p = 1; $p <= 5; $p++) {
echo(rand(1,49)), " - ";
}
?>
<font color="red">
<?
//choose the powerball number 1-45 displayed in red
echo(rand(1,45));
?>
</font>
</h2>
