program: windrand
release: 1.0.1
last revison: 01.09.2021

Relase Notes:
Moved the range to the configuration section:
start_range
end_range

author: Krzysztof Nachszon Lipa-Izdebski

Github:
https://github.com/nachszon/windrand

The program draws 6 random numbers (as in Lotto). The number of bets is given by the user.
The program can be used to generate random numbers in games. 
The author does not guarantee the win :)
