Creating Play Slips

[ryker]

It seems the Florida Powerball slip is for the older version of the powerball. I tried creating a new slip using measurements as directed but it's just not working out well. Is it possible to have access to the older playslip XML file to see how things are done? Would be handy in updating playslips when they change.

Thanks. I just ended up copying everything from the existing playslip then adjusted the numbers. Even after doing that, it still wouldn't print right on my printer. I had to add -15 top and -5 left to the margin so the crosses printed in the right area. Not sure what that was from as my measurements for the slip and panels were dead on. Either way, I have it saved a printing now.

Every printer type has a different paper loader and different unprintable margins, that's why there's the option to add +/- margin correction.
