default: alert("x doesn't match")

Commenting only on this function
[M in Math should be capitalized both times !!!!]

function DrawNumbers( ){
for (var x=1; x<7;x++) {
document.frmNumbers["txtnum"+x].value =
Math.round(Math.random()*100;
}
}

This should do the same

I would have suggested something similar, though probably using function
Random (see FAQ 4.22, as you know). BTW, that function has neither the
missing ) nor the wrong Method of Math.

But the OP wishes for a Draw, and the essence of a Draw is that numbers
cannot repeat. The chance of a repeat above must exceed 10%, at a
guess.

A Draw is in essence a partial Deal, and if the FAQ is searched for
that, sec. 4.22 will be found, with a suitable Link.

Thank you so much for all the help on this. With a bit of playing
around, I finally got it to work.

Thanks again.
