The Validator Tool (some people call it Lottery Checker) for Lotto 6/49 is now working. Here is the first Validator screenshot:

As you can see, development of LottoBongo.com is going well and the website will be up and running shortly. For those programmers who are interested in which technologies I am using, all I can say is that JQuery is my new best friend 
There are many things to do first before we can have a live website:
- learn about programming technologies to be used (AJAX, JSON via webservices, LINQ, JQuery and XFBML)
- retrieve historical lottery results
- database analysis
- website design
- deployment setup and preparation (domain name and hosting)
Items number #1 and #5 are already done. Item number #3 is partially done so I can now work on item #2 and create a Windows form that will parse a particular website (I cannot tell the name of the site yet) and save all the historical lottery results in my database.
Being a Canadian resident, I will concentrate on the Canadian lotteries for now so I will start retrieving Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Super 7 lottery results. Stay tuned…
