Abstract
Students of all ages seem fascinated by the lottery, making it a ready tool for illustrating basic probabilistic concepts. The author has developed a program called “Lotto Luck” for IBM PC compatibles which has been used in over 100 classrooms from grades 6 through 12 and with dozens of college classes and civic groups to demonstrate what happens to the “earnings” of the frequent lottery player over a period of time. We discuss how to use the program and provide information for obtaining the compiled code by ftp.
