Lottery numbers Javascript?

demo 22 Dec 2008 01:26pm
I want to place a lottery on my web page. I want some Javascript code that will spit out a three digit number once every day. The digits can repeat. I do not want something where you push a button and it gives you a different number every time. I want the number to be the same for everyone that comes to the site.

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setLotto() {
// get today's date
var d = new Date();
// apply multiple transcendental transformations to
// to combine date parts and convert result to string
// - produces same value all day long
var m = '' + Math.log( d.getFullYear() +
Math.pow( d.getDate(), .5 ) +
Math.pow( 12.345 + d.getMonth(), 1/3 ) );
// keep last three digits of transformed value
var l = m.substring( m.length - 3 );
// write to page
document.getElementById( 'lotto' ).innerHTML += l;
}

// do this onload for demo - if you want a button to
// invoke it, set onclick="setLotto()" as the click
// event handler
window.onload = setLotto;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="lotto">Today's Lottery Number is: </div>
</body>
</html>
