                    LOTTO WINNER 2.0s INFORMATION FILE


General Info

 1. Lotto Winner increases many times, the chances of winning smallest the
    prize. It also increases over 1000 times the chances of winning larger
    prizes, however this still may be not enough to hit the jackpot.
 2. This program does not use RANDOM selection.
    All predicted numbers are results of mathematical functions performed on
    past lottery results.
 3. The main idea is to let the computer find the best methods of predicting
    lottery results; and the main goal is to generate the best numbers for
    future drawings.
 4. The program is able to predict numbers for any kind of lottery -
    Super Lotto, Fantasy 5, Daily 3 & 4, Decco, Etc.
 5. Lotto Winner is designed to be as easy to use as possible. It has only a
    short manual (following) and information/instruction in the program.
 6. Methods:
     Methods beginning with B: Are based on least frequent numbers.
     Methods beginning with C: Are based on least frequent numbers also.
     Methods beginning with D: Are based on repetitiveness of bets.
     Methods beginning with G: Are based on most frequent numbers.
     Other methods and details are proprietary.


Using A Computer For Predicting Lottery Numbers

 Almost everybody who plays lotto has some method of playing, whether important
 dates or by checking the pattern of previous lotto results.
 Lotto Winner incorporates hundreds of different methods to find which ones are
 most effective.
 There are many lottery programs that help you eliminate some numbers and
 choose others - more likely to be drawn. Sometimes you may be able to choose
 fifteen or twenty numbers that are likely to come in the next
 drawing; and even if only fifteen numbers are still too many to make your bet
 your chances of winning may be a thousand times better.
 You may use your brain or your computer to arrange those numbers in tickets and
 win at least small prizes if your selection contains winning numbers.

Predicting Single Numbers Against Groups Of Numbers

 However you may be able to select the hottest numbers, it is still far from
 being a winner. Usually even if you chose one number that you think has to
 come, you still need a second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth. Even if you
 select two "hot" numbers you must be lucky to get the rest. Sometimes you may
 choose 20 different numbers and later find out that only 3 of them were
 winners.  And of course you cannot even buy a ticket with 20 numbers on it.
 Now comes the idea of selecting not single numbers but whole GROUPS of
 numbers at once. In other words, since you can predict that ALL numbers from
 latest lottery will not repeat next time, you can eliminate this BET.
 You can also eliminate BETS with numbers 1 through 6 or BETS containing only
 even or only odd numbers since it is unlikely for them to win.  Finally, if
 you could live 3000 years, you might eliminate as many of the unlikely BETS
 as possible, and greatly improve your chances of winning. If you could live
 20 more centuries, you might find some efficient METHODS of predicting GROUPS
 of numbers.

Lotto Winner Versus Other Lottery Software

 With LOTTO WINNER you don't need to waste any more time. Unlike other programs
 it doesn't help you find HOT numbers or display tables with frequency of
 each number. Lotto Winner has built-in a few hundred METHODS of predicting
 whole GROUPS of numbers.  Instead of generating single HOT numbers, it
 generates the BEST METHODS of predicting likely GROUPS of numbers and predicts
 BETS according to them. Another advantage of the Lotto Winner is its ease
 of use, since it DOESN'T HELP you select the best numbers but actually SELECTS
 them for you and GENERATES ready BETS.
 Of course winning even small prizes is not easy, and new more efficient
 METHODS are in development. You may also need the help of other programs or
 simple power of mind to win anything.

How Lotto Winner Works

 To work, Lotto Winner needs the results of at least 50 past lotteries.  This
 version accepts up to 90 drawings. You may either provide a file with the past
 lotteries or Lotto Winner will help you create it.
 Before you perform an analysis you may select a few more parameters like
 generating more numbers than picks or predicting for past drawings rather than
 for future ones (to check the performance).
 When you finally choose to Analyze Methods, the program will check hundreds to
 thousands of different predicting methods by generating BETS and comparing
 them to the past winnings.
 Every METHOD is a mathematical function that builds BETS according to the
 winning numbers from previous drawings. Later each BET is compared against
 the next drawing and in this way each method is checked for efficiency.
 After analysis is finished, you can check how each of the METHODS performed.
 You can also display all the past drawings, and see which of the methods
 won, when, and how many hits.
 Lotto Winner sorts methods according to their ratings and you may choose any
 number of the best methods to make your predictions for the future or you
 may enter up to 10 single methods.
 It is possible for Lotto Winner to generate BETS with up to twice as many
 numbers as there are picks in the lottery. In this case you may need to use
 Lotto Winner's own WHEELING SYSTEM to group the NUMBERS into TICKETS.
 For example if you have 12 numbers likely to be drawn, the wheeling system can
 generate tickets made from different combinations of these numbers.


---------
FILE MENU
---------
 When you first start the program, you should choose the LOAD/CREATE WORKING
 FILE option from the MAIN MENU. This opens the FILE MENU.

Creating/Updating Files

 First choice is to CONFIGURE/UPDATE. Press ENTER to move to the small window.
 Now you can move the cursor inside the window using UP/DOWN arrows. Pressing
 any letter or number initiates entry. So, if you want to choose a file or
 create a new one, move the cursor to the FILE NAME; type name of file to be
 loaded or created and press the ENTER key. The program will check the current
 directory for this file. If it cannot find it, you will be asked if you want
 to CREATE NEW FILE? Press 'Y' or 'N.
 If you answer 'Y' program will ask you to enter PICKS PER LOTTO? Please type
 the number of picks in the lottery and press ENTER.
 Whether you created the new file or want to update the old one, you can move
 the cursor to the ENTER NEW DATE option that let you enter the date of the
 first or next lottery drawing. After you press ENTER you have to enter the
 winning numbers for that day. Press ENTER after typing each of the numbers.
 After you enter required amount of numbers, you may exit to the FILE MENU by
 pressing ESC or TAB. You may also continue updating file by entering NEW DATE.

Displaying Lottery Results

 After you select or create a file, you may review the DATES and NUMBERS by
 choosing the DISPLAY NUMBERS option. After pressing ENTER or TAB you move
 to the smaller window, where you can use UP/DOWN arrows to move through the
 data. Pressing HOME/END keys will display the first 15 or the last 15 dates.
 Pressing CTRL and P at the same time will print all the lottery results on
 your printer. ESC or TAB will take you back to the FILE MENU.

 Pressing ESC or choosing the EXIT option from the FILE MENU will display the
 MAIN MENU.


-------------
ANALYSIS MENU
-------------
 Second choice in the MAIN MENU is the LOTTO ANALYSIS/PREDICTIONS option which
 opens the ANALYSIS MENU.

Analyzing Methods

 Analyze Methods option starts the main module of the program. Lotto Winner has
 built-in a few hundred different methods of predicting numbers. Each of them
 builds a BET from a certain amount of past lottery results. Each generated
 BET is compared with the next winning numbers. For example if a BET is made
 from the lottery results #5 through #20, it is then compared with lottery #21.
 If the generated BET hit the minimum number of HITS required, the method is
 considered as effective and its rating is increased. In the whole process of
 Analyzing Methods, each of the methods is checked against each of the past
 drawings and is given a rating equal to the number of HIT dates.
 Since Analysis may take up to 30 minutes on slow computers, you may press any
 key to Interrupt it at any time.
 Upon completion of Analysis or its part, you may review all the methods that
 were checked. Pressing ENTER or TAB moves you to the small window, where you
 can use UP/DOWN arrows to see its content. The window displays the Number of
 each effective METHOD followed by number of HITS for each of the hit DATES.

Display Ratings

 After the program finishes Analyzing Methods, you can check how each of the
 methods behaved. When you move the cursor to the DISPLAY RATINGS option and
 press TAB or ENTER, you can review all the rated methods sorted in order of
 their effectiveness. Each RATING tells you what percent of times a METHOD
 generated winning BETS. Sometimes the RATING can be higher for methods that
 hit more then the minimum number of required HITS.  Also ratings between
 methods that hit the same number of times can differ if the methods use a
 different number of drawings to generate bets.

Display Hit Dates

 This option can be activated after Analyzing Methods by selecting it with the
 cursor and pressing TAB or ENTER. This display all the DATES and how many
 times each of them was hit during Analysis. Remember, you may print content of
 most of the windows by pressing CTRL and P at the same time.

Predicting

 Always after you Analyzed Methods you can predict (or at least try to predict)
 the next drawing by using the Predict! option.  When you move the cursor down
 to this option, the program automatically selects the best BETS according to
 the 10 BEST METHODS; it also shows the hottest numbers that repeat in a few
 predictions. You may change the number of methods used for Predicting in the
 Choose Methods option. You may also enter up to 10 METHODS individually.

Options

 The last choice in the Analysis Menu is "Options". Here you can configure the
 program to do analysis according to your specifications.
 1. You may request the program to show the numbers it selects during Analysis.
 2. You can tell the program to generate more numbers per bet then there are
    picks in the lottery. In this case the program will generate up to double
    the amount of numbers during Analyzing and Predicting.
 3. You should also enter the number of Minimum Hits to tell the program when it
    has to consider a checked method as effective. For example if the smallest
    prize paid in the lottery is for 3 winning numbers, you should enter 3. In
    DECCO, where $5 is paid for hitting 2 numbers, but a free ticket is paid for
    hitting only 1, you can enter either 1 or 2 as number of Minimum Hits.
 4. Last option, "Predict For:" lets you perform Analysis and Predictions for
    past instead of future draws so you can compare or check how helpful this
    program would be if you were using it earlier. For example if you entered
    10/20/93, the program would Analyze all the lotteries before this date and
    show Predictions for this day.


-------------
WHEELING MENU
-------------
 Third choice in the MAIN MENU is the WINNER'S WHEELING SYSTEM. Selecting it
 moves you to the WHEELING MENU.

 In general WHEELING NUMBERS is a way of grouping numbers so they never repeat.
 For example you may select 8 different numbers and you want to use all of them
 in the lottery, where you can pick only 6 numbers. The WHEELING system will
 create as many different tickets as necessary to include all 8 numbers on
 them, and in such a way that they never repeat.
 Sometimes you may want to include 12 different numbers on your pick-6 tickets.
 In this case the wheeling system would generate almost 1000 tickets.
 Since not many can afford it, WINNER'S WHEELING SYSTEM will create fewer
 tickets for a return of smaller prizes.  Using it you can chose how many
 winning numbers you want to be guaranteed. For example if you have 12 numbers
 and enter Guarantee=4, the Winner's Wheeling System will create only 8 tickets
 and if all winning numbers will be among yours, at least one ticket will hit 4.
 In addition a few more tickets will hit 3 and there is always a chance to hit
 5 or 6!

Entering Parameters

 After selecting this option you must enter Numbers to wheel, number of Picks
 and how many hits you want to be Guranteed if your selected Numbers contain
 all of the winning numbers. You may press F1 to select numbers 1 thru 18.
 Pressing F2 lets you use any of the methods to enter the numbers.

Wheeling

 After pressing ENTER this module creates and displays all tickets according
 to the selected Parameters. Pressing CTRL and P at the same time will print
 all tickets on your printer.
