Answer 1

If all you do is print the prize:

In [77]: print "{:,.2f}£".format(random.randrange(100000))
26,467.00£

Or if you want the currency symbol in the front

In [78]: print "£{:,.2f}".format(random.randrange(100000))
£80,244.00

If you already have the prize variable:

In [80]: print "£{:,.2f}".format(prize)
£64,058.00

Here's a good explanation of the format specification.

Answer 2

You can easily do that with string formatting as follows:

>>> print "${:,.2f}".format(prize)

Example:

>>> prize = 12345678   #just an example
>>> print "${:,.2f}".format(prize)
$12,345,678.00

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Just multiple the random value by 0.01. Like below:

prize=random.randrange(100000) * 0.01
