Okay I've thought of a way to bypass the one address limitation.
The tickets will be priced at .01 BTC and your payment must be sent in increments of that.
I will divide your sent amount by .01 and for each time that increment occurs I will do some sort of operation to randomize the numbers. I should be able to get about 100 different combinations of numbers using this method, but I will know for sure once testing begins.

I've decided that the numbers are going to be generated by the address that sends them, so no database is necessary, just a list of Bitcoin addresses entered in the lottery. The one setback using this would be that you could only bet once per address for unique addresses, but I will try and think of a workaround for this.

In the coming weeks I will be developing a Bitcoin lottery designed to be similar to the Powerball.
I hope to have the following features:
- Cummulative jackpot
- Random numbers
- Anonymous winners: Will be sent to address that made bet
- Use an escrow until I gain more trust.
- Consolation prizes: eg 4 or 5 correct numbers
- A power number that must be present to win jackpot
- A livefeed of the numbers being generated to prove fairness
Any suggestions, HELPFUL criticism, and comments are welcome.
Oh and I also need a name for this, and what you guys think each ticket should be priced at
