My word, that is a big script.

Here's my little effort, which downloads all the lottery results for each
t=
ype=20
of lotto draw and sticks 'em in CSV files:

#--------------------CUT HERE--------------------------
#!/bin/bash
for file in Lotto Extra Thunderball HotPicks DailyPlay;=20
do wget $@ http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/files/$file.csv;
done
#--------------------CUT HERE--------------------------

Save the 3 line script as lottery.sh=20
chmod a+x lottery.sh
run with ./lottery.sh

Give it an option -q to turn off the progress bars

(In fact, it supports nearly all the options wget does! :-)

cheers
