If you are unable to see the PC-LOTTO
program on your Monochrome monitor then
it is necessary for you to change the colour
attributes of the computer using the subpro-
gram <MISC>. It is essential that each PC-
LOTTO disk contains the subdirectory
TABLES in order to store the Wheeling
Tables and selected Tickets. Do not forget
to copy this subdirectory to each of your
disks!!!!
PREFACE
This program has been written
for people who enjoy playing Lotto. If this
includes you, you have probably been looking for some relationship between the numbers drawn each draw.
Is there any or not? Can we find a system which WORKS ?
One thing is for sure, there are millions of dollars to be won by the people who can crack Lotto's
winning combination. Everybody knows, that Lotto numbers are drawn randomly. But watch out !! With this
program you can see for yourself that some numbers are picked more frequently in a given time period than
others. In fact,up to 5 to 6 times more often. The utility program FREQUENCY will tell you how many times
each number was drawn in a given time period. The subprogram PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK will pick out six
numbers out of the category you select. (HOT, COLD, RANDOM numbers,etc.) If you forget some reports a
few weeks back, no problem, you can turn the clock back and get them again. Do you want to see specific
situations. Let's say .. 12 draws back? Then use the HISTORY MODE. Enclosed is your users manual. We
have tried to make it as user friendly as possible. We hope you enjoy the program and wish you every success
in the LOTTO.
GETTING STARTED
We feel that the best manual is No manual at all. This program is menu driven and you should try
each report on Menu to see what it does for you. All you need is pin feed continuous paper loaded into your
printer, as some reports are two or three pages long.
Boot up computer with DOS disk. Enter Time and Date. To function efficiently an Updated File
of Lotto winning numbers is required. Put the disk in the drive and type
PCLOTTO <ENTER>
One of the LOTTO files is loaded by the program. Use the subprogram LOAD ANOTHER LOTTO
if this is not the correct LOTTO you want to play. Any LOTTO can be saved as a default when the program
ends. ( press <L>)
A list of all the LOTTO files is shown on the screen. Press <D> to move down or <U> to go up
through this listing. When you make your choice then press <E> to enter. Now enter the number (for
example: <12> and <ENTER>.
The LOTTO number 12 is loaded into the memory. The main menu is displayed on the screen. The
first letter of each line is highlighted and you pick out <W> for WORK WITH MAIN FILE. The best way is
to get a hard copy of the file on your printer. Compare the list of winning numbers with the official list from
your State or Provincial LOTTO . If there are no differences then press <Q> for Quit and get back to main
menu. Find the last entry and update the file pressing <E> (Enter Winning Numbers). The program will then
ask you to enter numbers from each draw.(including BONUS if applicable) As soon as the file is up to date,
view it again and make sure, that there are no mistakes. Any problems could be corrected by entering the
program "WORK WITH MAIN FILE" (press <W>) and follow the procedure. You can edit, delete or insert
any entry.
TO GET REPEATING SETS
You need to specify the number of draws you wish to work with. It must be a minimum of 10. Take
into consideration the number of draws there are each week. If you enter 16, this indicates that there are two
draws each week, that you are working with winning numbers from last eight weeks ( = two months). If there
are three numbers which repeated themselves at least twice the program will find them and print them on the
report. The same thing with duplexes of numbers which occur at least twice in the same period of time. This
is quite time consuming and you might want to go and get some refreshment while you wait. It depends on
the number of draws and on the speed of your computer. Expect anywhere from 15 minutes to 6 hours. Four
number match is not included, it would take several days for 386 SX computer.
TO REPORT ON A SINGLE NUMBER.
Select your favoured number and find out which numbers are "the best partners" to your number.
Listing scans number of draws you specify and counts how many times the number came together with number
1, 2, 3, 4 and all other numbers. If you are betting on one or two numbers most of the time it helps to know
what other numbers have a close relationship with our preferred choice.
CHECKING FREQUENCY
How many times did they draw number <36> in the last three months? And what about number <13>
? We know that certain numbers were "missed" in the last several draws. But how many times? All these
questions will be answered by the program FREQUENCY. And lots more! The list will be established and
sorted to show which numbers are "The Best" (HOT) and which numbers were missed and how many times,
in a row (COLD NUMBERS). The list of HOT NUMBERS is dependent on the number of draws, and is
different if we look at the last 20 draws or at the last 100 draws. This is important to remember! SCORING
HOT NUMBERS are computed as an average from all five reports. Let us take Lotto 6/49 for example:
Number 31 for 200 draws first place = 49 points, 31 for 100 draws 2nd place is 48 points, 50 draws fifth place
= 45 points, 40 draws as second = 48 points and 20 draws as third = 47 points. Each number gets points and
is then sorted to make a list.CHECK YOUR TICKETS
Compare one ticket, or up to 32000 of them, with Winning Numbers. If you are playing the same
ticket(s) all the time then enter them on the disk and retrieve them any time and get the printout of prizes. (if
any) You can compare the ticket(s) to several LOTTO systems, as soon as the number played on one ticket
is the same. (6/49, 6/40, 6/36 but not 7/40) Tickets go to the subdirectory TABLES as a file with extension
._S_ which stands for Selected Tickets. Big Files have extension ._BS (stands for Big Selection). Big Files can
be created only for 6 number LOTTO systems using Big Wheeling Tables or by subprogram First Prize
Wheeling.
You can store up to 100 regular files (up to 300 tickets) in each LOTTO system 5, 6 and 7
NUMBERS). Small files are created:
Manually (from Main Menu enter <C,M>)
by PC-LOTTO QuickPick (from Main Menu enter <P>
using Wheeling Systems (under subprogram TABLES <T,4>) You need approximately
200 kBytes of a disk space for a Big File with 27000 tickets. It does not fit on a floppy disk.
Each file is added to the MENU listing automatically.
Files of Selected Tickets created prior to VER 2.34 are not compatible with this version of
PC-LOTTO. If you want to keep them, they have to be re-entered using the MANUAL Entry subprogram.
PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK
The computer will pick out the numbers for up to 300 tickets. You can direct picking to certain
groups of numbers. One of the choices also being six RANDOM numbers. You can tell the computer to pick,
let's say, six numbers out of the TOP 20 from the LIST OF HOT NUMBERS based on last 12 draws or from
the LIST OF COLD NUMBERS or any combination of the above.
FIXED NUMBERS - select up to 3 numbers which appear on each ticket.(the ones you "feel for
sure" will be drawn the next time!). Buy the tickets or just play "on paper". The next draw will show you if
it was a right choice. If you do not want to wait for the coming draw then put yourself back,let's say, ten
draws using the HISTORY mode. All the numbers picked while in HISTORY mode will be checked against
10 "future" draws which "have" already occurred. If there was a prize it would be printed. There is an endless
choice of combinations and lots of room for you to choose the "best" system for your numbers. Also, if it does
not work for you this time it may start working two weeks from now. Remember, our goal is to find a strategy
which will give us the best return on our invested money. This way we stand a better chance of collecting the
Jackpot or any other major prize. Numbers Not Wanted : enter up to 4 numbers. They are prevented from being
picked when selecting from RANDOM, HOT or COLD NUMBERS.
PICK FROM A HAT. An imaginary HAT is created. Fill it with your numbers and only those
numbers are used for the selection. Use numbers from the last 1,2 or 3 draws. One number or up to 3 numbers.
All tickets are checked for duplication. If you want 300 tickets, make sure there are enough numbers
to choose from. Abort using <ESC> when desired.
A) AVOID NUMBER(S) 1)__ 2)__ 3)__ 4)__ (NOT WANTED)
USEH) HOT NUMBERS (0)
C) COLD NUMBERS (0)
F) MY FIXED NUMBERS -- -- --(0)
L) ? FROM THE LAST ? DRAW(S) (0)
R) RANDOM PICK FROM ALL NUMBERS (0)
D) DRAW FROM MY HAT (0)
IN HAT: 1)__ 2)__ 3)__ 4)__ 5)__ 6)__ 7)__
....... up to 21)__
TOTAL =(0) 6 LEFT
Remember - whatever the choice, it is still a random pick. Here is an example. Assume, that you have to
choose 6 numbers from 49 for a LOTTO ticket. If <H> is selected we are directing the pick to the list of HOT
numbers. It is a good idea to get a hard copy of the list from the subprogram
FREQUENCY, certainly when playing for the first time.
The first question appears at the bottom of the screen:
How many to be picked out of HOT NUMBERS:
We have a choice of picking out one, two, three...or all six numbers on our ticket(s) from the list of HOT
NUMBERS. Each ticket has to have six numbers!
Let us pretend we pick two numbers (press <RETURN>). It means we have 4 numbers left and screen tells
us.
LEFT = 4
The list of HOT NUMBERS has 49 lines and we are asked:
Use ?? from the list of HOT NUMBERS: (8-25)
Now we are targeting a certain group of numbers on the list. Enter 12 this time. A portion of the list with
twelve numbers will be used as "a bag" for our random pick. It is obvious, that we have to mark the first
number of those twelve on the list. The computer has to be able to extract them.
This is the reason for the next question:
Enter starting position of the first number: (1-38)
If we enter number one, then the first number of our 12 is the first number of the list of HOT NUMBERS.
Only the 12 top numbers are used for random the pick. If the number 38 is entered, then it becomes the first
number and 49 is the last. This means that the bottom 12 numbers of the list will be used for random pick.
If any number between 1 and 38 is used, then the 12 numbers are extracted from the middle of the list. As
of yet the List of HOT NUMBERS has not been established. It will change with the number of draws
involved. We now need to answer the last question:
List of HOT NUMBERS will be made from ?? draws:
Eight is the minimum (to keep a true random pick) and maximum is the total number of draws we have on
file. The list of COLD NUMBERS is always made from the last 50 draws. There is a good reason behind this.
If we use only 25 last draws for the LIST OF COLD NUMBERS then several of them might get brought up
in the first place (not being drawn 25 times in a row). In LOTTO 6/49 (CANADA) it has happened that the
NUMBER 28 was missed 75 times in a row.
To finish our ticket we need 4 more numbers.
ENTER <F> and fill one FIXED number, it should be one that you particularly favour. Every ticket is going
to include this number. There are now 3 LEFT.
ENTER <R> for RANDOM PICK. We want to choose 2 numbers at random. If no number is specified as NOT
WANTED, all 49 numbers are available (in 49 number LOTTO). Here you can set ODD/EVEN ratio for
numbers from the random choice.
ENTER <D> to choose the last number from the HAT. There are no numbers in the HAT so select 10 of your
favoured numbers (birthdays,....). One of them will be selected as the last number on our ticket. The system
for making the tickets is now complete.
How many tickets do you want (1 or up to 300). All tickets can be printed and stored on the disk
for later retrieval. Use PC-LOTTOprint program for transferring the tickets to official Lotto forms. This way
you can avoid costly mistakes.
TABLE OF POPULARITY
Some numbers become very "popular" at certain times, some seem to be "fading away". This
popularity is based on the number of draws you specify. Let's say we picked last 20 draws. Here we see the
first few lines of the report:
-35 -30 -25 -20 -15 -10 -5
-*---------*---------*---------*---------*---------*---------*---------*
1/ 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 4 4 4 4 4
2/ 2 2 2 2 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2
3/ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Start reading at the LAST column. Number ONE was drawn in last 20 draws four times, number
TWO was drawn twice and number THREE four times. How was THE SAME SITUATION 10 draws back
? That time was number ONE drawn just once in last 20 draws, number TWO twice and number THREE three
times. The report goes back to show the table up to 35 draws back.
WAIT-FOR-HIT TABLE
25 draws printed, option to print the table from day 1. (glue sheets together and highlight the winning
numbers with a colour feltpen - this method is used by "PATTERN HUNTERS") This is a convenient way
to track Lotto numbers. You can tell at a glance which numbers are HOT and which are COLD. This table
should be used for choosing numbers using the SKIPPING HABIT TABLE. Some numbers are very often
chosen after skipping certain number of draws.
SKIPPING HABIT TABLE
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
# ----------------------------------------------------
1) 5 7 4 4 2 2 1 1 - 3 1 2 -.....
.
26) 4 5 4 10 1 4 3 2 3 - 2 1 1 1.......
Number ONE was drawn 5 times without skipping one game (since Lotto started) and 7 times after
skipping 1 game.(since LOTTO started). A strong 'habit' can be seen if we look at number 26. It prefers to
'come back' after being missed 3 times. Number 26 was chosen only ONCE after skipping 4 times. What does
it mean to us? If we see the number 26 being skipped 3 times in our current WAIT-FOR-HIT TABLE then
there is a very good chance that this number will be drawn next in a coming draw. It appears to be frequently
drawn after missing 3 games. Look at the sudden drop from 10 to 1 when skipped 4 times.
The Skipping Habit Table is another name for the History of Skips for each number. How many
times was the number 26 drawn after it was missed 3 times in a row? What is the history of that number when
missing 3 times?
Look at table - it was drawn 10 times when the numbers of skips was 3. Look at 9 misses. It was
never drawn when missed 9 times.
WHEELING SYSTEMS
Do you want to dramatically increase your chances to win? Then use a system, where scientific,
mathematical tools can help you. Wheeling systems are an absolute MUST for all serious Lotto players. When
you wheel Lotto numbers, you win by mathematical probability, not by chance. By wheeling just one extra
number your chances are cut from 1 to 14 000 000 to only 1 to 2 000 000. The more numbers you wheel, the
greater the chance of winning.
A chart of ALL possible combinations of 5,6 or 7 numbers is in subprogram THE FIRST PRIZE
WHEELING for up to 20 numbers.
If you want to go for the first prize then use subprogram WHEEL FOR THE FIRST PRIZE.
EXAMPLE: Select eight numbers which you feel will cover all six numbers of the next draw. Your choice
is: 28, 1, 17, 35, 33, 22, 16, 20. When program asks you how many numbers do you want to play then enter
8 and supply your "good" numbers. (They'd better be good, you have to buy 28 tickets!!)
TWENTY EIGHT tickets will be printed and if all 6 numbers drawn are among your <eight>
numbers than one ticket will cover them all and you could win the first prize of 1.5 to 14 million in LOTTO
6/49 CANADA> (one lump sum and no taxes to be paid!!)
numbers wheeled numbers wheeled (6 number LOTTO)
7 7 13 1,716
8 28 14 3,003
9 84 15 5,005
10 210 16 8,008
11 462 17 12,376
12 924 18 18,564
To play every possible combination of 12 numbers would cost you $924. Who can afford to spend
that much money on Lotto tickets? Not many of us. You can, however, play a Wheeling system which is
abbreviated and the cost is brought down and you can still enjoy the minimum win assurance. Here is a
sample:
6T:12N (4if6) SYSTEM
Translated: 6 tickets, 12 numbers wheeled,
guarantee = if all six Winning numbers are in our 12 numbers wheeled, then the minimum
is one ticket with 4 winning numbers. The minimum can be translated: if we meet the worst circumstances you
still get this prize. Chances are, that you get several prizes and possibly even the Jackpot (if all six in 12).
Wheeling numbers stretches the chances for your betting dollars.
By playing 100T:20N (4if6) SYSTEM you cover close to a half of the Lotto numbers (in 6/49). Your chances
are even better if HOT numbers are played. Store the tickets played on the disk and check the winnings using
subprogram <CHECK YOUR TICKETS>.
HISTORY MODE
There may be times when you would like to know how the reports looked a few weeks back, or just
one draw back. You can turn time back up to 50 draws and evaluate those situations. You can use the
computer to pick out the numbers (program PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK) which will be matched with winning
numbers of all the draws you "went back" to check.
Let's look at another example. Go to HISTORY MODE by pressing <H> the computer will ask you
how many draws you wish to go back. Pick up two. This means that the computer does not see the last two
draws and the display of THE LAST DRAW on MENU is changed accordingly. You can not ENTER
WINNING NUMBERS or WORK WITH MAIN FILE in HISTORY MODE. You can get printouts from other
choices. The only difference is that all the reports are 'two draws old'. You can also use PC-LOTTO
QUICKPICK. And again, all the tables used for lists of HOT NUMBERS or COLD NUMBERS are 'two draws
old' but every ticket is compared with those 'two future draws' and all the 'winnings' are typed out telling you
which ticket, which draw and how many numbers match the winning numbers. The best way to understand
the system is to try it out. Go to HISTORY MODE and then to PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK. Try HOT
NUMBERS for all six on a ticket and get 100 tickets. Then try PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK from COLD
NUMBERS, again for 100 tickets. Can you see the difference. Try the same for RANDOM PICK, 100 tickets.
HOW TO START A LOTTO FILE FOR A SYSTEM NOT INCLUDED ON THE DISK.
Check first, if the file is available from LOTTOWARE. (604)-479-8536 - New LOTTO files are added each
month and for a small fee it can save you many hours of data entry time. Almost any LOTTO system can be
started using a subprogram.
START A NEW LOTTO
There are some limitations, however First of all gather all the following information.
1) FULL OFFICIAL NAME OF STATE OR PROVINCIAL LOTTO
2) HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE USED (LIMITS = 25 to 80)
3) HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE DRAWN (BONUS NOT INCLUDED) (4 to 8)
4) HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE SELECTED ON A TICKET (4 to 8)
5) BONUS NUMBER IS DRAWN (YES OR NO)
6) GET ALL WINNING NUMBERS (+ BONUS IF AVAIL) since day No. 1
ENTER A DATE OF A DRAW AND NUMBERS ONE BY ONE.
To start any LOTTO file you need ONLY the first draw date and numbers. The next step is to Load the
LOTTO you just created (LOAD ANOTHER LOTTO). Enter all other winning numbers till the most recent
draw. If you have numbers, let's say, for the last year, you can enter them and insert draws from the earlier
date, as they become available to you. Each draw can be edited, deleted or a new entry can be inserted at the
beginning or to the middle of the file. (You need at least 20 draws for that)
TO SET COLOUR
You are able to set the colour attributes for your colour (or Mono) monitor starting with version 2.3+.
Choose subprogram MISC and adjust the the colours until you are happy. Default values are stored on the disk
and retrieved again whenever the program is started. When distributing the Shareware version of PC-LOTTO,-
please do so with the Monochrome monitor (original) default file. Users might not be able to see text with your
colour monitor settings on their MonoChrome Monitor. IMPORTANT!!!!!!!
Filenames on distribution disk:
PCLOTTO.EXE program
PCLOTTO.DEF colour and other default values
????????._F_ binary files of winning numbers
????????._I_ files with LOTTO Information
????????._S_ files with your Selected Numbers
????????._W_ binary files of Number Wheeling Systems
????????._BW Big Wheeling System files
Make sure that there is a subdirectory TABLES on your backup disk. *._S_ and *._W_ files are
stored in SubDirectory TABLES. Up to 100 files for each LOTTO system (5,6 or 7 numbers) Collect
and add your own.

3) Make a new subdirectory for storing Wheeling tables
MD TABLES <ENTER>
4) Insert PC-LOTTO disk in the drive A: and TYPE :
COPY A:*.* C:\PCL <ENTER>
5) Transfer all Wheeling Tables to the Hard disk by typing:
COPY A:\TABLES\*.* c:\PCL\TABLES <ENTER>
YOU HAVE JUST INSTALLED THE PC-LOTTO PROGRAMS ON THE HARD DISK. TYPE:
PCLOTTO <ENTER>
to start the program.
ENTER A NEW WHEELING TABLE.
Now you have an ability to collect wheeling tables from different sources. Here is a very small wheeling table
for 8 numbers combined on 2 tickets. It is for LOTTO systems based on 6 numbers on a ticket. If all six
winning numbers are in our 8 numbers wheeled then the minimum assurance is 4 number matching on one
ticket. As you can see the system is inexpensive. Enter this table using subprogram " <A>dd a new table " .
If you do not want this table on the disk, remove it later by deleting the filename from subdirectory TABLES.
(using DOS commands) A Wheeling Table for 8 numbers on 2 tickets. (4if6)
1) 1 2 3 4 5 6 2) 3 4 5 6 7 8
Start the program - choose a LOTTO based on 6 numbers (FL 6/49 for example.) press <T> to get into
TABLES AND COMBINATIONS - press <4> to get into the WHEELING TABLES. It takes few seconds
to sort all Wheeling Tables on the disk. Press <A> from the command line at the bottom to <A>dd a new
table to the disk. Are you ready? Press <Y> for YES. Now you have to make up a name of the file. Any name
will do but try to keep some system for additional wheeling tables. You should be able to tell if the file is
for 5,6 or 7 number LOTTO. (8 char. max) Example: FRED6001
If there is a file of the same name the program asks permission to overwrite. The next task is to name the
system, so that you can recognize it on the MENU.(20 characters allowed)
How many numbers wheeled?Enter 8
How many tickets? Enter 2
How many numbers played on one ticket? Enter 6, we are in 6 number LOTTO!
Enter all six numbers on the first ticket and enter the second ticket just as well. If no mistake was made then
enter <Y> for YES, put the file on the disk. You just created an additional Wheeling Table File. It appears
on the MENU the next time (in sorted order by number of tickets).
HOW TO TRANSFER WHEELING TABLES FROM SOME OTHER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS.
EXAMPLE: We have a system to wheel 20 numbers on 50 tickets.(5 number LOTTO)
- Fire up the software, select this wheeling table and then enter numbers from 1 to 20 in consequent
order. This is the main secret, start with number ONE and do not skip any number! If you are wheeling twenty
numbers you must not enter number bigger then 20 while creating the Wheeling Table. Do not mix up
creating with using. Get a printout of all 50 tickets. <A>dd the system to your PC-LOTTO program the same
way as described above. Once the Wheeling Table is finished and on the disk you can use it and enter any
numbers you want in any order you choose. 5 number wheeling has to be entered using any 5 number LOTTO.
You can not create 5 number Wheeling Table using 6 number LOTTO system.

PC-LOTTO Club. ( information -- 1990 price is $12)
This is a brand new concept for playing Lotto using a computer. This Club will supply software
and gather all Lotto Players who are interested in this unique way of playing. Our software package gives you
endless possibilities for extracting information about the numbers.. Books remain to be written about the usage
of the PC-LOTTO program. Just imagine yourself playing "the horses" or "stocks" and using Random Pick
or your birthday date. Your chances would not be improved at all. The same thing with Lotto numbers. You
have to look at your Lotto Playing as an investment. Everybody wants to get the best return on their
investment. Right!! What about the Lotto? If you are buying two or three tickets a year then just don't bother
with this. However, if it is so many tickets per week then you should think about improving the return on your
investment. Is there a guarantee of winning when you use a computer? No there is not, just like there is not
a guarantee when using a computer while buying stock. Your chances are largely improved when an intelligent
approach is taken. Here you are combining chance, your skills and the power of a computer. The skilful
player who handicaps the Lotto numbers is eventually bound to win and beat the odds. Wall Street analysts
chart stocks, bonds and commodities, studying past price action to determine future price trends to reduce odds
against the investor. It is called "Technical Analysis". You are going to do the same with Lotto Numbers. What
is the secret to winning? Just select the Lotto Numbers that have the greatest mathematical probability of being
chosen the next draw.
Our software package supplies a large amount of information. Lists of Hot and Cold Numbers, telling
you how many times was a number was drawn or missed in a specific number of draws. (min 10 and max since
Lotto started). Also many different charts and tables which show hidden dependencies. A special feature and
a very useful aid is The Wheeling Systems. They are scientific, mathematical tool which allow you to give your
money more leverage and dramatically improve your odds over random selection. It's a truly mathematical
breakthrough for the Lotto Player. Our concept is brand new. We feel there should be a centre or core where
all experience, tips and hints would be collected and passed back to the users. That is why the PC-LOTTO
Club was started. The cost is minimal and the benefits are great. There are millions to be won each week.
Report all "bugs" in the program(if any) and tell us about any suggestions you might have. Tell us your
experiences with the program; what works for you and what would you recommend to others. Please, report
all the winnings over $500. Your name will never be published, just initials and the city.
We need input from you for our PC-LOTTO Club Newsletter. Share with us "your story of
winning". Or your story "of playing LOTTO using the computer". Everybody is curious as to how to improve
the odds and what is the way "the other guy is taking". The concept is much bigger then the author. LotoWare
Victoria is more concerned with improving the code, making it better and faster, adding more utilities and
keeping the price low than writing books about "How to use PC-LOTTO." There is a room for other vendors
and for user input. As a registered member you can expect an improved version arriving the next year along
with the Newsletter. Our goal is to have the PC-LOTTO Club Newsletter printed at least four times a year.
WHAT CAN THE PROGRAM DO :
- Check if there was ever any winnings on specific combination of your numbers.
- Find the BEST number in the last 10 or 100 or 300 draws. Or in any number of draws you specify.
For example: The BEST NUMBER (Lotto 6/49 CANADA) is 7, drawn 54 times in 317 draws; compared with
"the worst" number 15, drawn 26 times. Get a sorted list of "HOT NUMBERS" for any number of draws. You
can imagine, that the list will change a bit with each new draw. Some numbers keep themselves among "HOT
NUMBERS", if you check the last 300 draws or just the last 20. Can you figure out which numbers they are?
Try it!
- Shows sets of numbers which repeat themselves. EXAMPLE: What is the BEST SET OF THREE
NUMBERS since Lotto 6/49 (CANADA) started? Do not try to do this manually! It takes 3 hours for the
computer. In 317 draws there were three sets: 11,19,25 - 9,11,46 and 27,44,47. Each drawn 5 times. What is
the BEST COUPLE of numbers? For Lotto 6/49 it is 27,44 drawn 13 times for the same time period. The
SECOND BEST COUPLE are several sets drawn 11 times. What is the BEST COUPLE for the last 50 draws?
You can find out for yourself by using the program.
- The program does not enter new winning numbers for you. You HAVE TO DO THIS YOURSELF
after each draw to keep your software "up-to-date". Even your 8 year old son can do it for you. PC-LOTTO
is easy to use, user friendly, and menu driven.
- Want to see how the list of HOT numbers looked 10,20 or 50 draws back? Put yourself into
HISTORY mode and print the report. Compare them with the current ones!
- To pick out your numbers for the coming draw. Use PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK and pick them
from the HOT LIST or the COLD list. Tell the computer: "I want to use the first 20 numbers from the HOT
list made from the last 25 draws. Pick out 4 numbers from those and two numbers at random from all 49
numbers (you need six numbers for Lotto 6/49) Use this system for 10 tickets!". It takes few seconds of
computer time to make the list, sort it, pick numbers from the designated areas and print all 10 tickets. There
is an endless number of combinations you can choose. You can design your system and find out if it works,
"on paper" first. If you put yourself into HISTORY MODE, let's say back 5 draws, then all the numbers you
picked will be checked against those 5 draws which the program did not see when picking out numbers. If there
was a prize it would be printed automatically. If some system works "on paper" then try it for real!
- The Number Wheeling Systems - from 2 tickets (12 numbers wheeled) up to 300 tickets. If all
six numbers drawn are among those you picked then there is a guarantee of winning. It is a must for Group
Playing. There is an option to get multiple printouts. In the History Mode all numbers are checked "forward"
and all prizes are printed. This is very handy for finding "the best system".
- Popularity Table, Wait-For-Hit Table, Skipping Habit Table and more...
