reboot your system by depressing CRTL-ALT-DEL togehter. If you already
have a CONFIG.SYS file and the FILES= is equal to or more than 27

FEDERAL BALANCE THE BUDGET LOTTERY GAME
As you can see the screen is full of fields. The most important of which
are the DRAW NUMBERS and the ENTER NUMBERS.
ENTER NUMBERS
The ENTER NUMBERS at the bottom of the screen are for contestants to
enter numbers and add them to the database. To Enter numbers enter a "1" in the
SELECT field. Next enter the range of numbers, the number of pick numbers, and
at the bottom ofthe screen the number of rows. You can then enter the numbers
you want. Be sure the range and NUMBER OF Picks are correct. This is how the
search routine searches for winners. If you choose you can depress "F1" to have
the computer randomly pick your numbers. In any case if you want to play draw to
win, you need to add the entries to the database with "F6".
DATABASE QUICK REVIEW
As you can see by the prompt at the bottom of the screen you can retrieve,
search, add, update, and delete entries. Remember the ENTER NUMBERS at the
bottom of the screen must be added to the database for the Draw To Win to work.
USING THE INDICES
This screen has several built in indeces. The SELECT, ENTRY NUMBER, DRAW
NUMBERS, NAME, ADDRESS, ZIP CODE, And ENTER NUMBERS are all indexed so that
you can retrieve by any of those Fields.If you wanted to retrieve a particular
name for instance position the cursor on the NAME field, Enter a name, and
depress the ENTER key. If the name is not found you can use the "F4" key to
search for the first key that is greater than or equal to the Name. If you
had forgotten how to spell the name but you remember it started with Ra. Enter
Ra in the name field spaccing out the rest of the field or at least leaving 1
blank after the Ra and depress the "F4" field. This will find the first name
in the database that starts with Ra or greater. You can also retrieve the
next entry with "F2" or the previous entry with "F3". If you wanted to check
the database for a particular set of DRAW NUMBERS, enter the DRAW NUMBERS
you wish to search for and place the cursor on the first of the set of DRAW
NUMBERS. Depress the ENTER key to find the set of numbers. You can also use
the "F4" key to search for the first set of DRAW numbers that are greater
than or equal to the set of numbers you entered. You can use these search
criteria on any of the above listed indices. By using the previous and next
keys you can retrieve the particular entries by the particular key your cursor
is on. For instance I may want to retrieve the entries by DRAW DATE. Place your
cursor on the DRAW DATE field and depress the "F2" field to retrieve each
successive entry in DRAW DATE ascending order.
*N*
THE DRAW NUMBERS
The Draw numbers are used to simply Pick a random set of numbers. This can
be done by entering a "2" in the SELECT field and depressing the "F1" function
key. You can add this entry to the database by depressing the "F6" key for
retaining the numbers as an entry specified by the field "ENTRY NUMBER". It is
not important to add the DRAW numbers to the database only for storage for later
retrieval. The DRAW TO WIN feature checks the database for the ENTER NUMBERS
against the displayed set of DRAW NUMBERS.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Draw to Win Only Searches the FIRST set of ENTER numbers for
a match. This was done to eliminate excessive IO. It would be best
to set the number of rows to 1 and each person enter numbers to
play draw to win.
*N*
EXAMPLE PLAY
1) Enter a "1" in the SELECT field.
2) Enter a "1" in the NUMBER OF ROWS field.
3) Depress "F1" to random pick numbers.
4) Enter your name and other information.
5) Depress "F6" to add the entry to the database.
6) Have other contestants make their entries.
7) Enter "3" in the Select field.
8) Depress the "F1" key to start DRAW TO WIN.
If you enter for example a "10" in the Range and "3" in the number of
picks. And then go thru the above example. Sometimes you will get an exact
match. Otherwise after the LIMIT has been reached a search is conducted on
the first set of ENTER numbers for a set greater than or equal to the
RANDOM DRAW numbers. The winner in this case is the one that is closest
but GREATER than the draw numbers. This was done to eliminate possible
unwanted long lapses in match times for games.
