In this post, I will share a javascript random number generator using jQuery with Bootstrap 4. That will generate random lottery numbers with awesome design.

Step 1. HTML Structure for Random Number Generator

Build the HTML for the random number generator. See below HTML code:

<form id="startNumbersGeneratorForm">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-6">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="from_balls">From Balls</label>
                <input type="number" name="from_balls" class="form-control" value="5" aria-describedby="fromBallsHelp" min="0">
                <small id="fromBallsHelp" class="form-text text-muted">Enter the maximum number for balls. Ex: 6.</small>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-6">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="range_numbers">From Interval Numbers</label>
                <input type="number" name="range_numbers" class="form-control" value="45" aria-describedby="rangeNumbersHelp" min="0">
                <small id="rangeNumbersHelp" class="form-text text-muted">Enter the maximum value for interval of numbers. Ex: 49.</small>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="row">   
        <div class="col-md-6">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="extra_balls">Extra Balls</label>
                <input type="number" name="extra_balls" class="form-control" value="1" aria-describedby="extraBallsHelp" min="0">
                <small id="extraBallsHelp" class="form-text text-muted">Enter the maximum number for extra balls. Ex: 2.</small>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-6">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="range_extra_numbers">Extra Interval Numbers</label>
                <input type="number" name="range_extra_numbers" class="form-control" value="20" aria-describedby="rangeExtraNumbersHelp" min="0">
                <small id="rangeExtraNumbersHelp" class="form-text text-muted">Enter the maximum value for interval of extra numbers. Ex: 20.</small>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <input type="submit" value="Generate Numbers" name="generate_numbers" class="btn btn-block">
    </div>
</form>

Step 2: DIV container results

<div class="form-group">
    <input type="submit" value="Generate Numbers" name="generate_numbers" class="btn btn-block">
</div>

Step 3: Add CSS

Add CSS files inside a header tag.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Vkoo8x4CGsO3+Hhxv8T/Q5PaXtkKtu6ug5TOeNV6gBiFeWPGFN9MuhOf23Q9Ifjh" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.min.css">

Step 4: Add Javascript

Add Javascript files before </body> clossing.

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/numbers_generator.min.js"></script>

Step 5: Complete HMLT Structure

Here is the complete HTML structure of our javascript random number generator using jquery.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

    <meta charset="UTF-8">
