replace the Placeholder jQuery script with this to get a lottery ticket approach:

<script>
//alert($('.ticket').length);

$('.ticket').each(function(index) {
$(this).text("Red " + (index + 312));
});

</script>

I'd just like to say that while Acorn's technique is fine (I haven't tried it), in any situation where security is important, or money involved, etc., this technique should never be used - simply because generating things in a browser using javascript is very easy to hack.

For a bit of fun, javascript every time, for security, do it on the server.

Sensible advice, which is why I placed the design in Graphics Chat. It is meant to be used as a local solution where you would print directly from the browser.

I've just duplicated a clutch of pages and set them all as a Vertical Supersite and the numbers count cleanly for the Lottery Ticket sequence and the Random values are separately generated.

In summary, do treat as a bit of fun.
