Hard lottery project.

2 New Member
You are to create a lottery game program that allows a user to simulate playing the lottery. In
this lottery game, the winning number combination comprises four unique numbers, each in
the range of 1 to 40
A winning ticket will match from one to four numbers and pay-out based on the following
schedule: 1 number matched = $2.00, 2 numbers matched = $20.00, 3 numbers matched
$100.00, and 4 numbers matched = $1,000.
Your lottery game program should allow the user to:
1. purchase and store from 1 to 5 lottery tickets. The numbers on each ticket are
determined randomly. A single ticket cannot have duplicate numbers.
2. print the purchased tickets in the following format (this example shows five tickets):
Ticket 1: 21-17-22-30
Ticket 2: 16-5-42-25
Ticket 3: 40-11-28-7
Ticket 4: 34-8-16-1
Ticket 5: 26-37-15-40
3. have the program choose and print the winning lottery number in the following format:
Winning Numbers: 16-42-8-1
4. check the tickets purchased against the winning number and print out the results as
follows:
Ticket 1: 2-17-22-30
1 match: 17
Ticket total $2.00
Ticket 2: 16-5-42-25
2 matches: 16, 42
Ticket total: $20.00
Ticket 3: 40-11-28-72
no matches
Ticket total: $0.00
Ticket 4: 34-8-16-1
1 match: 16
Ticket total: $2.00
Ticket 5: 26-37-15-40
no matches
Ticket total: $0.00
Total Winnings: $24.00

Any one has an idea of doing this?

@OP: what is hard about it? Given the assignment text the code almost writes
itself, you just have to put the description to source code.

kind regards,

First off, I don't know very much about programming. My problem is, I have a lottery program written in 1989, and I need minor changes made to it so I can use it.

Hi, I've written a lottery programme in PHP that selects 10 winners a week from approximately 18,000 shares. The problem I have is that of the ten winners one week the same share number was drawn the next week and an adjacent share number the following week (that just happened to be owned by the same member) The program is now being looked at suspisciously.
