Where can I find a list generator to create a raffle list?

I need a list generator software that will automatically update the amount of tickets each customer has purchased in my raffle and make a list of all numbers. Example: John purchases 3 tickets and Mike purchases 5 tickets. The raffle list now looks like: 1. John 2. John 3. John 4. Mike 5. Mike 6. Mike 7. Mike 8. Mike I want to enter the quantity of tickets sold and then the list updates the numbers like above for me. Does this software exist? If so, where is it?

1. You probably could do this in Microsoft Excel. (That's if you know how to use it.)
2. Find a Unix, Linux machine or a Mac and use the following script: !# /bin/bash FILENAME="list" case $# in 1) PURCHASER=$1 TICKETS=1 ;; 2) PURCHASE=$1 TICKETS=$2 ;; *) echo "usage $0 purchaser [number-of-tickets]" ;; esac NUMBER=`wc -l ${FILENAME}` COUNT=1 while [ ${COUNT} -le ${TICKETS} ] do let "NUMBER = ${NUMBER} + 1" let "COUNT = ${COUNT} + 1" echo "${NUMBER}. ${PURCHASER}" >> ${FILENAME} done
