Load Lotto Record - (File Menu) A Lottery Record must first be created before any information can be entered or viewed.  Type a file name for the record, do not include an extension as '.LPC' will be added to identify Lotto PC records.  Click on the Create button after a name is entered.  Load Record files in the usual windows manner.  Choose 'Modify Record' from the 'Analysis Menu' to view or make a large number of changes.  We recommend obtaining a one or two year history of the frequency counts for your game and adding the values to the record.  After that, enter the individual drawing results from the 'Enter Data' form to keep the record current.  The Picks displayed by the 'View Hot/Due List' and the selections produced while using Biased Selections will be derived from this information. When a Lottery record is loaded, the selection range (high number & low number) are set to match the record file.


Biased_Selections

Biased Selections

Biased Selections can be used if a Lottery Record has been loaded which contains adequate information - at least 50% of the numbers must have been selected.  The program will switch back to unbiased selections if a different Lottery Record is loaded.  The current program settings need to match the Lottery record settings when making Biased selections.


Statistical_Analysis

Statistical Analysis

The Histogram displays where the sum of the selections plots in relation to an 'average' set of selections.  We recommend using selections that are in the 50% to 70% range. Avoid lower range selections as the chances of splitting a win with several others increases when lower numbers are used.  This is mainly due to a large number of people using numbers derived from dates, number of children etc..  Low numbers are more popular.
