yesthattomI think I bought a lottery ticket a zillion years ago. Today I'm buying 3 just to be crazy.
The program "scramble" is something we use internally. It takes a file and reorders the lines randomly. We used to call it "unsort" but changed the name to be more accurate.
> awk -v TOP=50 'BEGIN { for ( i = 1 ; i <= TOP ; i++ ) { print i } }'|scramble |head -5|sort -n

And now the 'big money ball' numbers that I'm picking:
> awk -v TOP=36 'BEGIN { for ( i = 1 ; i <= TOP ; i++ ) { print i } }'|scramble |head -3|sort -n
