It looks like you are generating numbers for a 6-ball lotto with some filters, but I can't tell what exactly. I agree with db101, you should comment between each step, even things that seem obvious to you because not everyone uses PowerShell to write mathematical programs. Commenting a good habit to cultivate if you share code a lot (and I need to work that too). You've certainly got me interested in learning to do this kind of stuff with PS.

Anyway, I hope the script generates some lucky num... [ More ]

Is this PowerShell? Maybe others are more familiar with its syntax but I'm afraid I need more indentation and #comments to understand what the script is doing. What is the significance of 45, 20, 10, 18, 26, and 34? And what type of lottery matrix is it generating numbers for
