For each of these numbers, this routine keeps track of the numberof times it has occurred as a regular number, or as a bonusnumber, and the total of number of times it has occurred. SELECTION E: Find My Number This routine is for finding draws that contain specific numbers.For example, find all the draws containing the number '1', orfind all the draws containing the numbers '1' and '32'. The usercan specify up to six numbers to search for and when applicable,whether or not to include the bonus number in the search.

Check My Number is routine to check a draw number entered by theuser. All six numbers of the draw number must be entered. CheckMy Number verifies whether or not the draw number has occurred asa regular Winning Number, or as a Five plus Bonus Winning Number(Canadian 6/49 only). It also provides information concerning the number of even andodd numbers in the draw number, and whether or not there areany decades containing more than 3,4, or 5 numbers. In addition Check My Number breaks the draw number down into it'scomponent parts. That is the 6 five digit numbers, the 15 fourdigit numbers, the 20 three digit numbers, the 15 two digitnumbers, and the 6 one digit numbers. It also checks the numberof occurrences of each. This check is made only on the sixregular numbers and not on the bonus number. Therefore the 5digit, 4 digit, and 3 digit total number of occurrences is equalto the number of times this number would have generated a prizeif it had been played since the beginning. Check My Number can take a couple of minutes to complete. Theactual time will depend on your computers speed. After you exit Help type: A) to run Check My Number B) to return to the Main Menu If you select A) you will be asked to enter the number you wishto check.

For programs such as LOTTO MANIA the most common type of error isan I/O error. Examples are trying to read a 5.25" disk withoutfirst closing the latch, or printing with the printer turned off. Since LOTTO MANIA runs from a single directory within your harddrive the most common errors will be print errors such as out ofpaper, no paper, or printer turned off. LOTTO MANIA has a builterror handler that traps all errors, and provides the user theopportunity to fix the problem before continuing. Just follow theinstructions and you should be able to continue. Please not that some types off errors are difficult to impossibleto fix. For example the LOTTO MANIA executable program LM.EXE hasvital information stored in several files, if for what ever rea- son these files have been tampered with or erased the program terminate and return to DOS. It is therefore a good practice to backup the total contents of your lottery directory from time to time.
