POWERBALL PICK
FROM LOWER LEVEL SOFTWARE
Author Dave Leslie
Support BBS 1-319-373-5852
What is it?
Powerball Pick is a PC Board PPE that will display a
random selection of numbers for the Powerball Lotto
drawing. In addition to the numbers, Powerball Pick
will also display the day of week and date of the
next Powerball drawing. If it is past 7:30PM on a
drawing date (tickets must be purchased by 8:00PM
on date of drawing) display will automatically
skip to the next drawing date. Powerball Pick
produces a very colorfull display.
The REGISTERED Version will keep track of each callers
Powerball picks and compare with actual numbers drawn,
then build a display file listing date of drawing, winning
numbers, and winners names and amount $$$$$ Won!

There has been a significant amount of work involved in
the writing of this program and I feel that a programmer's
knowledge, expertise, and time should be compensated for.
A small registration fee of $5.00 would be appreciated.
If you feel that this program and others like it are
insignificant efforts then you should have no problem writing
your own PPL programs.
I also understand that not all SysOps are programmers and
do not have the time or programming ability to produce their
own PPE programs. It is for these SysOps that this program is being
placed for download and use by others.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR SUPPORTING POWERBALL PICK!!
