Hi there i have a PDF that shows you how to make a LuckySeven game that uses random numbers - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mediafire.com/view/?a4y5dv9ca2ey95e">http://www.mediafire.com/view/?a4y5dv9ca2ey95e</a><!-- m -->

Here is my conversion of that to 15 numbers <!-- sWink --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><!-- sWink -->

Well, here's a quick code snippet that I crafted especially for you!

Since an integer can't hold something that is 15 characters long, we need to individually generate 15 random integers and insert them into a String. Like so,
[code2=vbnet]Dim randomNumberLength As Integer = 15
Dim randomNumberString As String = ""
For i As Integer = 1 To randomNumberLength Step 1
Randomize() 'Randomize the numberset
randomNumberString += CInt((Rnd() * 10)).ToString 'Generate a number from 0-9 and tack it onto String.
Next[/code2]

Hopefully this helps solve your problem. If you have any questions about this code, feel free to ask!

The variable randomNumberString is now your random number of randomNumberLength characters long.
