It would appear the that the crucial octave feature for cashing in on
the state will only execute properly once per octave session.  As
pointed out by jcc, this may be an intentional feature since,
obviously, you cannot have two winning lotto numbers for the same
drawing.  However, as I may wish to continue my octave session over
more than one drawing, I would probably want to be able the execute
the command more than once per octave session.

The offending series of commands is as follows:

[2]esm at ward:\>octave
octave:1> win_texas_lotto
ans =

 2 17 23 29 11 45

octave:2> win_texas_lotto
win_texas_lotto: undefined
octave:3>
