THE NATIONAL LOTTERY STATISTICS PROGRAM VERS 2.0
Written & Devised by Andy John Morgan
q
Welcome to the UK National Lottery, the latest Multi £Million Jackpot game to
hit the United Kingdom.
Yes.. it could be YOU! or.. it may be YOU! or.. it might be YOU!
or.. its very unlikely to be YOU!
The odds on you winning the Jackpot in the Lottery are 13,983,816 to 1.That is
not very promising,however there are smaller prizes that can be won.
The UK National Lottery Statistics Program from Nebula Entertainment has been
written to allow the User to store all the Draw results from 19th Nov 1994 up
to the year 2012.
But that's not the only thing it does!
The program runs in Medium resolution and requires atleast a Half-meg ST with
colour monitor. A pull-down menu system is used to operate the program,so the
Mouse is also needed.
p PROGRAM OPTIONS
q
pINFORMATIONq
Database
General information on the program.Author,Copyright,date of Completion.etc.
Lottery
Information on how to play the UK National Lottery,and what the prizes are.
Register ( Only on Demo version )
Info on how to register the Demo,the price,where to send your registration.
pDISKq
Load Data
Load the Statistics,Records,Personal data from disk.( Disk Drive A only ).
Save Data
Save the above.
On both Load & Save, there is a 'ARE YOU SURE? (Y/N)' feature. Just incase of
mistakes.However,if you do lose your data files accidently,there is an update
service available.Read below.
pVIEWq
View Records
This allows you to view all the previous Draw results on your Monitor.
View Statistics
See how many times each number has been drawn out in the Lottery.
pPRINTERq
Print Records
When selected the program will ask you which year you require.Once you enter a
valid year,all Draw results from that year will be printed out.
Print Statistics
Prints out all 49 numbers in the Lottery,in order of MOST DRAWN OUT first.Also
printed alongside will be the amount of times drawn.
Print Personal
Prints out all names and numbers you have stored in the Personal section of
the program.
All printouts should run perfectly on all Epson compatible Printers.No control
codes were used in the program,just clever mathematics.( Ahem! ).
pTHE DRAWq
Enter Result
When the Draw has been made on television,use this to type in that result. The
date,records,statistics etc will be automatically updated.
( Don't forget to Save Data afterwards! )
Skip Week
This is a special 'Just incase' feature.Sometime in the future the Lottery may
miss a week.If this happens,it will be up to you to use this option to move on
a week.
( Again,don't forget to Save Data afterwards! )
pPERSONALq
View/Edit
This feature allows you to enter up to nine names along with their selections
of six numbers.To do this select a number from 1 to 9 on the keyboard.A cursor
will appear alongside the chosen number.Type in a name ( 20 chars long ), then
after pressing Return,type in that persons six numbers.
Check Result
This feature is used to check the Personal selections against the last Draw
result entered. Any numbers matching the Drawn numbers will be highlighted by
inverting those numbers.Bonus numbers will be surrounded by a square.
By using both these features,alot of time and bits of paper will be saved. The
best use I personally find for this is putting in friends selections.That way,
if they win one week,you'll know immediately who's buying the drinks!
pQUITq
Quit to Desktop
Guess what this does?
p UPDATE SERVICE
q
If any REGISTERED User of this program accidently erases or wipes over the all
important data files, ( That is DATA7.BIN,DATA8.BIN,DATA9.BIN ) then you are
able to send the OFFICIAL registered disk back to Nebula Entertainment for an
update.
This service costs just £1,and you will receive your disk back in time for the
following Draw.If however,your disk is sent to us at the end of the week, then
it will be sent to you after that Saturdays Draw.
This service only applies to the files mentioned.Not the main program file!
The best thing is to make a back-up copy of your OFFICIAL disk, so as to avoid
any such problems.
