- 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.
