LOTTERY TOOL v 1.2
For those of you that approach the lottery games with a more
scientific view this is a tool that will help you evaluate the
drawings and hopefully help you to pick some winning numbers. I
have stuck with the popular numbers and have fared better than I
did before using birthdays and such. Future versions will try to
make winning number predictions.
Menu functions :
1. Count number of hits.
This scans the database entries and counts the
number of times that a number is hit. After it
scans, the Number and counts will appear on the
left side. Scanning is shown in the upper right
hand portion of the screen. (might be to fast to
see.)
2. Pattern search.
This operation allows you to see what the last
numbers where that were hit and how many
times. If you wish to see what the last group of
lottery drawings count results you set the number
of records and press enter. After the scan you
will be prompted. Strike any key and it will
continue to count backwards and display the
numbers and counts per group. You can exit with
escape any time.
3. Add.
This is where you add records to the database.
You will be shown what the last entry was and
the date. The current database is of the
Florida 6 Lotto drawings.
4. Repeat Combos.
This section scans the database for recurring
number combinations. Pairs, three matches, and
four matches. As it is running it will be
displaying the current numbers that it is
scanning for and writing to a disk file named
REPEAT.TXT. This will be in an ASCII text
format so you can view it on screen or print
it out at your leisure with almost any word
processor.
5. Skip and Hit
This section goes back thru the records and gives
you a history of how many times a number is skipped
after the number was called. The numbers are shown
with the most recent drawing first then how many times
the number was skipped after a hit. 0's represent
a hit and the numbers represent the number of times
that number has been skipped.
6. Exit
Leaves the program.
The Repeat combo scan is very fast compared to another Lottery
program that I tried out. The other program was running for 12
hours scanning a 235 record database and was only up to the number
10 combinations tying up my computer and printer. It also only
outputed the scan to the printer.
Lottery Tool scanned the database in just under 7 min. This
comparison was done on a 386SX 20mhz with 1 meg. of cache + 1 meg.
of EMS and a 40 meg MFM harddrive.
Differences from older versions.
Added the Skip and Hit feature and changed the
storage file.
*Note this version will not use the older versions storage
file.
Please consider this shareware. If you send $ 15.00 you
will receive a LOTTERY program that can create a series of
databases which you can use for more than one lottery game, and
allow you to select the database you wish to use. I will send you
a disk with the necessary update. Also you will receive notice of
any updates on the software.
Cost --> $ 15.00
