Or, I'm sure you can find one on line.

I can't do that. I have to recreate the lottery over the last 9 years. That's 937 draws. I need the power of a spread sheet program like excel.

I'll do a little research to find out how to negate pseudo randomness. Anyway I think it's feasible to use the closest thing to randomness. After all science works with models that aren't perfect. So long as they are close enough to approximate reality. So pseudo random is fine.
