I'm not really into gambling, so not really sure in which way these tickets have anything to do with gambling.
If its plain numbers from 000000 to 999999 then you can just generate them on the fly, that could be more efficient.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
