Help with lottery style system?

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I'm working on a currency system for forums and it is going to have a type of lottery system built into it. Trying to figure out the best way to make the drawings work. I'm still new to cron jobs but will have to figure out how to set them up to draw the numbers every hour.

What I need to do is figure a way to make it draw 3 random numbers, which will be the ticket number. They need to be a number between 1-36 and cannot pick the same number twice.

Any ideas to what would be the best way to go about doing this?

Thanks!
