I thought I'd have some fun with this, so I tried it. I had to use the:
http://www.powerball.com/powerball/winnums-text.txt
source. I had to do a little alteration in the loop to read the data from site (needed \s+ for the split) and remove the possibility of power balls greater than 39 (can't pick them now). This solution is elegant I think but you all can comment:
foreach $line(@numbers) {
next if ($line =~ /^!/);
@data = split(/\s+/, $line);
shift @data; # discard date
@data = reverse(@data);
shift @data if ( @data > 6); # discard power play number if there.
$pb = shift @data;
$powerb{$pb}++ if($pb<40);
foreach (@data) {
$normals{$_}++;
}
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
