The ZINLOT.COM program requires one DATA support file for each
lottery. Format a floppy diskette, or create a subdirectory on your hard
drive for ZINLOT. Copy ZINLOT.COM and MEGABUX.DAT to your work area. At the
DOS prompt, type ZINLOT. ZINLOT will ask if the current path holds your .DAT
files. Enter [Y] for yes. Zinlot will display the .DAT files on the current
drive and path. Enter MEGABUX and hit ENTER. Zinlot will read in the
MEGABUX.DAT file. Hit any key to continue to the main menu.
The following steps will create a 6 ticket wager for the next lottery
drawing. Select option [D] to create the top 20 numbers list. Press ENTER to
see the list of the top 20 numbers. Press [E] to exit the add_delete menu.
Press [E] on the main menu to wheel your numbers. Press [A] for the 6 ticket
wheel. Answer [Y]es to use the top twelve numbers. Select a number from the
list for the catalyst, enter it, and press ENTER. The display will show 6
tickets to wager. These quick steps will give you the computer's picks for
the next drawing.
To create your own lottery data file, select option [A] from the main
menu. On the update menu, select option [A] to select a lottery data file.
After you choose a drive and path, enter a filename for your new lottery data
file. ZINLOT will add the .DAT extension automatically. Zinlot will ask you
a few questions about your lottery. Enter the highest number selected in your
lottery. Enter how many numbers are selected in a drawing. Enter how many
times per week a drawing is held. If your lottery draws numbers three times a
week, then enter 1. If your drawings are twice a week, you will be asked to
enter the date number that the second drawing would be held. Count off from
the date of 1 until the next day a drawing is held. For example, if a draw
was made on Wednesday the first, then if the next drawing were Saturday the
fourth, then you would enter a 4 here. Zinlot will create your lottery data
file.
Before you can use all of Zinlot's features, you need to enter at
least 21 drawing results. Get a list of drawing results from your local
lottery agent. From the update menu, select option [B] to enter drawing
results. Hit ENTER to continue. First you will enter the date of the
drawing. Next you enter the numbers drawn. Hit ENTER to continue entering
drawings. Zinlot will display a new date at the top of the screen. If this
is the date of the next drawing, then press ENTER three times to use this
default date. Zinlot can determine the next drawing dates for lotteries that
are held once or twice a week. Continue to enter drawing results until you
have at least 21. Press [Q] to quit, or enter Q in any of the data entry
fields to quit. Zinlot will save your data and create new tables for drawing
statistics.
From the main menu you may analyze numbers, view drawing results, or
create the top twenty number list. You may edit the list that the computer
generates on the add_delete screen. You may want to use the statistical
analysis features to determine twelve numbers to bet on. Once you have added
or deleted numbers until you have twelve, you may use the wheel menu to wheel
your 6 tickets. On the wheeling menu you are asked to select a number to use
as a catalyst for the wheel. This number and any of it's top ten companions
that are in your list, will be placed near one another on the wheel. This
method further enhances your chances of generating winning tickets.
