KPS LOTTO
This program provides a simple way to keep track of various state LOTTO
drawings and to compute valuable statistics which you can use to evaluate the
performance of past LOTTO drawings in order to help you pick the numbers that
you feel have the greatest potential of hitting in future drawings. It also
provides you with a very simple wheeling system that will aid you in picking
a group of boards, utilizing a select group of potential numbers, in order to
maximize your chances of winning, provided that all of the numbers drawn are
found in your select group of numbers. You also have the ability with this
program to keep track of many tickets (5 boards to a ticket) and many wheels
(3O boards to a wheel) and easily compare all of them to the most recent num-
bers drawn. Registered version of this program just barely has enough room
to run in 256k ram. I recommend at least 512k ram for most efficient opera-
tion with file editor and future upgrades although 256k should work fine now.
MENU OPTION DESCRIPTION
----------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
E Enter new LOTTO drawing (1OO DRAWINGS MAXIMUM IN FILE )
(999 IN VERSION 3.O or newer)
This option allows you to enter the numbers drawn in each LOTTO
drawing (drawings should be entered in order). If you pick this
option by mistake just press <ENTER> at the date prompt. At the
date prompt you can enter the following:
mm/dd/yy normal date entry
mmddyy date without slashes (6 digits)
T for todays date
Y for yesterdays date
D for day before yesterdays date
After entering a date you are committed to enter 7 numbers for
that particular drawing. Numbers drawn can be put in any order,
however, I recommend that you enter them in the order in which
they were picked from the machine in case someone develops an
analysis method which is sensitive to the order drawn.
V View past drawings (xxx) xxx = number of drawings in file
This option allows you to view past LOTTO drawings which are in
the file LOTTO.DAT. When asked how many drawings to view, you
can press <ENTER/RETURN> if you want to view all drawings in the
file or you can enter a number for how many drawings you desire
to view. If you enter 5, only the last five drawings will be
listed, and the statistics shown will only be for five drawings.
Once the listing of drawings starts, you can press the space bar
to pause the listing or <ESC> to return to menu. The following
is a list of information shown on screen listing. Should you see
the word ORDER in the last column, it just means the numbers are
in numerical order and probably not in the order drawn.
GAME# number of game as listed in file
DATE date of drawing
DAY day of week (mon-sun)
NUMBERS numbers drawn
BNS bonus number for match + bonus (IF ANY)
ODD number of odd numbers drawn
EVEN number of even numbers drawn
CHECKSUM sum of numbers drawn (175 is average for a
6 pick + bonus # drawing w/49 numbers)
+/-AVG deviation +/- from average checksum
MENU OPTION DESCRIPTION
----------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
L List drawings on printer
This option will print a listing of all LOTTO drawings on your
printer. All printer options assume the following:
Printer port #1 (LPT1:) is where your printer is
Continuous form paper is used
Printer set to 1O cpi (pica) | normal printer defaults
Printer set to 6 lpi > (turn printer off & on)
Printer set to 66 lines/page |
I State Lottery Information
This option will give you information on where to write or call
for State Lottery Information. For California, this information
is already provided and most of the numbers listed under offices
nearest to you are 24 hour recordings, containing lots of infor-
mation on past drawings as well as information on scratch-off
tickets & the Big Spin. For states other than California, just
edit the text file LOTTO.INF, and put in your own state's infor-
mation as necessary for quick reference.
Z Trends & Patterns
This option gives you more information on numbers drawn in the
last two to twelve drawings. The information shown is fairly
self explanatory.
S View statistics board
This option will print a listing (on the screen) of all numbers
drawn as well as how many times each number has been picked in
the number of games selected. It also shows how many times each
number has missed in a row, in the selected group of games.
X Print statistics sheet
This option prints the above statistics board (option S) out on
your printer as well as a listing of all numbers drawn in the
order of most drawn to least drawn together with each numbers
consecutive miss statistics.
U Print drawings statistically (VERSION 2.69f or newer ONLY)
This option prints out a listing of past drawings on the printer
in the same format as they are shown on the screen when option V
is selected.
T Ticket name default
This option allows you to enter the name of the ticket that you
want loaded each time the program is run. This is the same as
running the program then using option G to get a ticket by that
name.
MENU OPTION DESCRIPTION
----------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
P Pick new LOTTO numbers
This option will allow you to pick new numbers for the current
ticket (shown below G option). You can pick the numbers yourself
or you can have them picked randomly (quickpick) or you can have
them selected randomly from the top 2O numbers as calculated by
the computer from past drawings. Selections are automatically
written to .LOT file.
W Wheel Numbers (6 PICK LOTTERIES ONLY)
A wheeling system is one that allows you to pick 1O to 2O numb-
ers out of the numbers possible then these numbers are put on
1O to 15O boards in a fashion that statistically will allow for
maximum winnings should the numbers drawn fall within your sel-
ected numbers. Supposedly your best odds are when you use some
sort of available or computed statistics to arrive at the best
combination of numbers that statistically are more likely to be
drawn than the others. Some people believe that most frequently
drawn numbers are best to choose from where others believe that
some combination of least picked numbers and most missed numbers
are best to use. There are many other ways also, depending on
who you talk to. The wheeling system included in this program
allows you to select 17 numbers and produces a 3O board wheel.
Then supposedly if you play only the first board then you will
have a 1.26% chance of winning where if you play all 3O boards,
your odds increase to 93.16% chance if the numbers drawn happen
to fall within your 17 numbers wheeled. Note however that they
are supposed to be played in order, so if you only want to play
12 boards you should play boards 1-12.
When you enter your numbers in the wheel you are supposed to put
them in your order of preference from left to right, however you
will notice that when you do that ... for example the 5th num-
ber in your preference order will only occur 6 times in the 3O
boards and the 13th number in your order of preference will be
found 14 times on the 3O boards. To me this is not right, so I
included the question:
"CHANGE ORDER TO PREFERENCE BY OCCURRENCES (Y/N) ?"
If you answer Yes then your numbers will be moved around so that
your most preferred numbers occur more often in 3O boards than
your least preferred numbers. If you do answer yes to this, the
numbers will be assigned properly, but when your 17 numbers are
shown on the screen or on the printer, they will be back in your
preference order so they might be entered again. After you pick
your wheel, you can then print it and save it to a disk file for
future comparisons with the M option.
MENU OPTION DESCRIPTION
----------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
G Get another ticket
This option will allow you to load another ticket into memory
from disk for comparison or updates as desired. If the ticket
you request to load is not on the disk, it will be created and
saved after you assign numbers to it. The ticket that is now in
memory is shown below the G option after " CURRENT = ".
Y Lotto File Editor (REGISTERED UPGRADE ONLY $25.OO)
This option will load the file editor program, provided that you
have sent in $25.OO for your registration instead of $1O.OO. It
will not work with a registered copy that hasn't paid the full
registration and upgrade price. The program is still fully func-
tional without the editor, you must use your own ASCII text edi-
tor to edit and maintain the files LOTTO.DAT, LOTTO.LST, and
WHEEL.LST.
The file editor program will allow you to easily edit and update
the files LOTTO.DAT, LOTTO.LST, and WHEEL.LST. LOTTO.DAT holds
all past LOTTO drawing data. LOTTO.LST contains the names of
lotto tickets that you want to compare to the most current draw-
ing with the M (mass compare) option. WHEEL.LST contains the
names of saved wheels that you want compared with the M option.
Without the editor, you must use your favorite ascii file text
processor to edit these files. The latest version of the editor
also contains backup & restore options for your lotto.dat file.
The commands for the editor will be covered after all of the
main lotto program commands.
C Compare numbers to drawing
This option will allow you to compare the current ticket to all
previous drawings one at a time.
F Find winning tickets (f)
This option will compare the current ticket to all previous
drawings but only stop on winning tickets. Entering a "P" at a
winning game will continue the search once again. After you get
all the way back to the beginning, statistics will be shown for
each board telling you how many times each board has hit winning
tickets.
f Find winning tickets (f)
This option does the same as the previous option except that it
doesn't stop on the winning tickets. It just displays the stat-
istics at the end.
MENU OPTION DESCRIPTION
----------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
M Mass compare to drawing # xxx xxx = drawing to compare to
This option will allow you to compare all LOTTO tickets listed
in LOTTO.LST and all wheels listed in WHEEL.LST to the drawing
you select. Every ticket and wheel listed will be compared but
it will only stop on a ticket or wheel that has a winning board
on it.
D Default data drive (REGISTRATION HANDLING DIFFERENCE)
This option allows you to set default data drive for storage of
LOTTO.DAT, all .LOT files, & all .WHL files, if you need to keep
them on a different drive or in a different subdirectory. If you
are using a hard disk, I recommend that you keep all the files
in the same subdirectory on your hard disk. Floppy drive users
will probably have to keep your data on the B: drive and run the
programs from the A: drive. In the REGISTERED VERSION, you can
have lottery information in different subdirectories for differ-
ent lotteries for easy tracking of multiple lotteries. Changing
the data drive would change to a completely different lotto.
ESC END PROGRAM
This option is fairly self explanatory ... it terminates program
execution and returns you to DOS (Disk Operating System).
