There's not much out there as far as production-level stuff. There's
a fair number of research-type projects out there. For a class, I and
another student did the work available at
http://pirx.candyland.cx/~adisaacs/cs520/lottery.patch.txt
It's not actually usable in a production context (I don't use it, for
example) but it's a reasonable proof of concept. I'd be glad to
answer any questions... I might even be able to dig up some of our
documentation if there's demand.
(BTW, I just started at SGI Eagan this week.)
