Script does not read the last line of text file

Hello,
I have got a script that reads a text file, and have got three problems that I an struggling with.

1. The script does not read the last line in the text file
2. within the second 'elif' within the script I included a 'break' - the script runs successfully (except for the first problem) , but if a situation occurs where the second 'elif' is executed the echo message is shown and all seems to work well, but if I try and run the script a second time with a condition that does not satisfy the second 'elif' the echo from the second 'elif' is still being shown' - this problem ony happens after the second 'elif' is executed at least once.

3. Instead of breaking out of the code within the second 'elif' I wanted the user to be taken back to the first echo where they are asked to enter the 'Test Day'

I tried goto but after doing some research I realise that I am using Korn Shell and I cann use goto

CAN ANYONE HELP?

#!/bin/ksh

echo 'Please enter the Test Day or 0 for all days: '
read x
count=0
while read line
do
echo $line | read a b c d
if [ "$a" = "$x" ] ; then

( IFS=-
printf ' 1\n 1\n 0\n 0\n 1\n 1\n 7\n 0\n'
printf ' %s\n' $c
printf ' 1\n 1\n 0\n 0\n 0\n N\n 1\n 100\n' ) |
"$LOTO"/bin/loto_tsim > /dev/null 2>&1

let count=count+1
echo "Wager Number ${count} is:" $c

elif [ "$x" = "0" ] ; then

( IFS=-
printf ' 1\n 1\n 0\n 0\n 1\n 1\n 7\n 0\n'
printf ' %s\n' $c
printf ' 1\n 1\n 0\n 0\n 0\n N\n 1\n 100\n' ) |
"$LOTO"/bin/loto_tsim > /dev/null 2>&1

let count=count+1
echo 'Your wager is: ' $c


elif [ "$a" != "$x" ] || [ "$a" != "0" ] ; then

echo 'Sorry The Test Day Entered Does Not Exist'
break


fi
