i'm taking my first class in linux and i am working on a script that will display 3 random number and display amount of jackpot, the script should act like a "slot amchine game". I have two problem one is the statement "You are a loser" is diaply even when the number is a match and should be diplayed only if not match (I can not get the "You won" to diplay) the second problem is that the Jackpot keeps display 25 and is not increasing.
Any help would be great.

Even though it is a pain, commenting helps tremendously when debugging; especially when it is three o'clock in the morning and you've staring at the code since one o'clock that afternoon, or when I have to come in after to to fix something. =8)
