I ran my stack "OmniLotto" and generated 5000 random powerball games. Then it ran. It .took over 30 minutes!!! I saved the 5000 gamelist and ran it through my PERLotto perl script out to "results.txt". It took only 1 second!!!!!!! What gives? Are my script routines way out of order? It certainly seems so! GEEZ......... Day 5 (?) gonzo. Andy
