You are about to experience LottoPro. We know you'll be pleased with LottoPro's performance in assisting you to play any lottery. Every year lottery players win billions in prizes. Why shouldn't you, too?! Using LottoPro each week/draw to assist you in choosing winning numbers is easy and fun. You may wish to begin by requesting picks different ways, without actually betting them, to observe LottoPro's performance. There are many ways to improve selection of winning numbers with LottoPro. Remember: LottoPro is a tool to be used with wisdom, be careful not to "bet the baby's bottle". Good betting and good luck! Please contact MicroMedia with your experiences, we want to know how LottoPro is picking! P.S If you win big let us know as we would like to send all winners our fun disk series to use in all your new found spare time! MicroMedia P.O. box 46844 Seattle, WA 98146, (206) 246-3057 Lotto number handicapping, analyzes the past action of the winning numbers. This gives a perspective of what is probable (or likely to happen) and what is not probable (or unlikely to happen). From extensive studies of lotto games, we have found, for example, that six consecutive numbers (such as 28-29-30-31- 32-33) are highly unlikely to ever hit - because that has never happened before. It would also be highly unlikely that all six numbers from any previous drawing would hit again - because that has never happened before. And it probably never will! According to mathematical probability, the six winning numbers of a weekly 6/40 lotto drawing would repeat once every 73,815 years!!! However, in many lotto drawings, more than 120,000 tickets per draw are bought with six consecutive numbers, like 1-2-3-4-5-6. Yet we know six consecutive numbers have never been drawn. Pattern betting is a popular method of number selection. There are people who select their numbers by position on their tickets, marking all the numbers in a row to make a straight line, either across or up and down. Another method that gets heavy play is the number multiples, especially 5-10-15-20-25-30. Those numbers are played on at least 25,000 tickets in each drawing. If those numbers hit should hit (extremely unlikely) with a $3 million jackpot, each winner would receive a single payment of $72. 3 The majority of lotto players like to play the calendar numbers,such as birthdays and anniversaries. This means that the most heavily played numbers are 1 through 31, although most lotto games have 40 or more numbers. This is a fun way to select numbers, but we'd rather have statistics on our side! You can always use anniversary numbers as you wish with LottoPro. Experiment and enjoy! the trend Lotto numbers move in trends. A lotto number that is in an up trend is winning frequently. A number that is in a down trend seldom wins. A lotto number in an up trend can have a series of hits - usually skipping only one, two or three games between hits. And often a number that is"hot" can have two or three hits (wins) in a row. An example of a lotto number with a "hot" trend is the number 35 for one state's lottery. 35 had a "hot" streak of 13 games - two separate times! A realistic hot streak for a "hot" number would be about six hits before skipping more than three games between any hit. Most numbers have seven, eight or nine wins before taking a rest of four or more games. Interestingly, about half of the winning numbers drawn have had a hit within the previous three draws! Some lotto numbers are still hot after skipping up to five games without a win. About two thirds of all winning numbers drawn have had a hit within the previous five games. A few numbers can still be in an up trend even after skipping up to ten games since the last win. We have seen that about 87 percent of all the winning numbers drawn have had a hit within the past ten games. Be careful with long shot numbers, that haven't hit for 15 or 20 draws. That long shot number may be overdue after another 10 or 20 games. When a lotto number has been inactive for a long time, We've found it is best to wait until it has won at least two games in rapid succession (that is, WITHOUT skipping more than two or three games between the two hits) before you play it. This is a clear signal of a trend reversal in most cases. (It is also not uncommon for a lotto number to not appear for 25 games or more, hit once, and then not appear for another 20 or 30 games. So, wait for the trend reversal to be confirmed. If a number, after a long dormant period, doesn't have a repeat hit within two games, don't pursue it.) Wait for a confirming up trend. 4 The longer a lotto game has been in existence, the stronger are the trends and patterns that form. This is because in probability theory the sample space of any game of chance is the entire number of possibilities that any event can take place. For example, if you toss a coin you get either heads or tails. The chances of one or the other happening is 50-50, or one in two. Its sample space has only two events. Your most important tool in handicapping lotto numbers is a list of the past winning numbers. Your local newspaper (as well as USA TODAY) gives the winning numbers for your state's lottery the day after the drawing. You will wish to update your state's winning numbers file with each drawing, but we have found that six months is about the total amount of storage you'll want. There are several reasons, including lottery commissions tend to change the numbered balls, which will change the trends, and we've found from experience that we do best with no more than six months' data. CONSECUTIVE NUMBER PAIRS Something to watch for are consecutive number pairs which are two consecutive numbers that hit together in one game, such as 28-29. At least two thirds of all Pick 6 lotto drawings contain a consecutive pair. Also on one out of four of those consecutive number pair draws, there will be two consecutive number pairs drawn or a consecutive pair and a consecutive triad, such as 33- 34-35. (Consecutive triads occur in about ten percent of the lotto drawings.) Four, five or six consecutive numbers drawn are rare (not probable, we have not found an example of fives or sixes having ever occurred). You can see that it is your advantage to play two consecutive numbers on one game panel - but it is to your disadvantage to play four, five or six consecutive numbers on one game panel. Don't let these facts discourage you, we are in this for fun and for a better edge! We have witnessed this program do very well, indeed. Keep in mind that the odds in lotteries are extremely high, and you can not expect to win every time you play. As it is often said, the greater the reward, the higher the risk. Pool your money with friends to share the cost - and the winnings, for greater coverage. Or you can play a big wheeling system once a month and skip the other drawings in between. You can obtain a hard copy of the screen at any point by pressing the "PrtSc" key while holding down the <SHIFT> key. This is also in keeping with BASIC operation. 5 The program LottoPro is completely menu-driven. We hope that you have fun with LottoPro and that it earns a permanent home in your software library.

This chart is a visual aid and may help you spot a trend, that you, or the computer may have missed. LottoPro automatically graphs this chart. The performance of each number how hot it is comes from this chart. Example In Figure 1 the number one has taken 7 draws to come up twice while the number two has taken 21 draws to come up twice, thus the 12 number one is much hotter using the look back 2 performances option. <<<< STATISTICS CHART >>>> Figure 2 L D S T # M S # F M M LO-HI % IN P O R I O H E D S R E E R R O T A N T I A D O A D A A I T W C A T N ' M N I N N N O S E L S S A G G T N E E S 1 6 7 9.4 10.1 -0.3 5.5 1-9 57 21 2 10 10 6.2 3.9 1.0 6.0 2-9 80 3 3 6 11.5 8.0 -1.1 13.0 3-22 67 9 4 7 7 9.3 5.5 -0.4 8.5 3-12 43 12 5 9 6 10.5 8.3 -0.2 9.0 2-14 67 15 6 1 12 5.9 4.5 -1.1 6.0 1-11 83 24 7 1 8 8.9 7.8 -1.0 5.0 1-7 63 30 8 10 8 7.8 4.6 0.5 7.0 3-10 63 24 9 5 17 3.9 2.7 0.4 3.5 1-5 76 57 10 12 7 8.6 6.9 0.5 6.5 2-9 71 11 25 8 5.9 4.6 4.1 5.0 1-8 63 12 9 8 7.9 3.6 0.3 8.0 4-12 75 27 column Headings: LOTTO# With your initial entry of total number drawn (highest number), LottoPro will list the performance of each number on the Statistics Chart. Each number is listed in the first column from the left. 13 DRAWS SINCE HIT (Same as weeks, if your lottery draws only once per week.) This column shows the number of draws since each number was last drawn. A (1) in this column notes that this number was drawn on the last drawing. TOTAL # HITS Record of how many times each number has been drawn, depends on how many drawings have been entered into the file. mean Average number of draws before each number is drawn again. SD or Standard Deviation The Standard Deviation (SD) is a measure of dispersion The larger the (SD) the more variable a number has been between draws. If you take the mean and subtract one (SD) and save that as number (S1) then take the mean and add one (SD) to make number (S2) you Will find that 78% of the time the number of draws between hits will fall between (S1) and (S2). # SD'S FROM MEAN Defines the current status of each number in relation to the mean and how many standard deviations the current number of draws is away from the mean. Negative numbers define numbers that are (SD's) below the mean and positive (SD's) above the mean. see Figure 2 MEDIAN The median is the point in the distribution of draws at which 50% of the draws fall below and 50% fall above. Example from figure 2 then number 6 has a median of 6 and has come up 12 times this means that 50% of the time the # 6 has taken more then 6 draws to hit and 50% of the time it has taken less then 6 draws to hit LO-HI RANGE Portrays number of weeks each number takes to hit. Example: the number 1 in Figure 2 would not be likely to hit again the first drawing after it hit, but would be most likely after 9 draws to hit again. 14 % IN RANGE This column relates to the LO-HI RANGE column. Taken together, you will see how often each number is drawn again within it's range. Example: the number 1 in Figure 2 has hit between draws 1 and 9 57% of the time. POINTS IF IN RANGE Points assigns a value to each number for weighing purposes. Example: the number 9 in Figure 2 has not been drawn for 5 draws, it's range is between 1 - 5 draws, it is drawn 76% between 1 and 5 draws after it has hit, it has hit a total 17 times in all the records in the file, it usually hits again after 3.9 draws, it deviates by 2.7 draws (this is a + or - value), it is very likely to be drawn soon. A good way to learn how the Statistics Chart works is to run one before your lottery draws, then go back and highlight with a marker those numbers that were drawn. You may see some very interesting correlations AND also learn how best to use this chart! It is a very fun process to follow. It is extremely helpful, too! <<< Option (G) GENERATE COMPUTER PICKS >>> When generating computer picks you will be asked a few questions, each of these will be covered in this section. PAST performances (2) LAST TWO PERFORMANCES (3) LAST THREE PERFORMANCES SELECTION (Enter 2 OR 3) Using the HIT CHART (Figure 1) you will see the differences between using the last 2 or 3 times a number has been drawn. By counting the number of draws between the last two or three times each number takes to come up. Hotter numbers take less draws to come up two times or three as you select above. (2) The number of draws since last drawn and the number of draws it took to be drawn the time before are added together. (3) Same as 2 but we go back one more draw. Past performances of the last 3 draws of each number may seem to give a clearer picture, however, there are other factors to consider. One thing to keep in mind is that if the picks seem to be off or "cold", 15 perhaps your state has changed ball sets, etc. If on a cold streak you would want to try 2 versus 3 performances or if you've been working with the past 2 performances try 3. The smaller the sum between the last 2 or 3 draws the hotter the number or the more likely the number is to continue to be drawn frequently. STATISTICS only(S) Hot numbers(H) BOTH above(B) QUIT (Q) SELECTION (x) ENTRY (S) This entry uses statistics (refer to Figure 2) in the most left column to determine when a number is the hottest with this option. ENTRY (H) Hot numbers are evaluated against each other on their past performance. A very hot number would be one that has hit 2 times in the past two draws. If you select the last two performances any number taking more draws to hit 2 or 3 times will be cooler and will be reflected in the next display. ENTRY (B) This combines both (H) and (S) options for a combined score. After selecting how you want LottoPro to evaluate the numbers, you will be shown how each number compares to the other numbers on "STACK UP SCREEN #9". An example display (Figure 3) shows that 18 is the hottest number (most likely to be drawn) followed by 32, the 10th number down from 18 is 23 and the worst number (or least likely to be drawn) is 4. 16 Figure 3 <BEST BY COLUMNS WORST> 18 26 42 15 5 32 39 27 8 36 44 41 12 37 1 14 2 35 28 4 3 7 34 43 6 11 19 16 9 20 29 40 21 13 31 30 39 19 22 25 23 33 38 24 MANUAL CHANGES (M) INVERT (HOT=COLD) (I) GENERATE SELECTIONS (G) RE-DO OPTIONS (R) QUIT THIS MENU (Q) SELECTION ? (X) ENTRY (M) (See Figure 3) After looking over the STAT CHART and HIT CHART you may decide that number 4 is going to hit. Or maybe 37 is a lucky number for you, or you have an anniversary number you wish to use. You can manipulate the use of numbers in final picks at this point. Enter the number you wish moved, either higher or lower (toward BEST or toward WORST) at "NUMBER TO MOVE". example: NUMBER TO MOVE (0) IF FINISHED (4) MOVING 4 OLD POSITION=44 (if you entered # 4) NEW POSITION ? ( Here you can move #4 to # 3 position by entering 3, or to whatever position you wish.) Note: when you have moved numbers around following your hunches, insight, lucky number, systems etc. enter 0 and LottoPro will sort the display to reflect your desires. Note: We have found in the past that there are usually only 4 of the numbers drawn are in the top 12-15 or so. You may want to move 2 or more cold numbers to the top. This we leave to your personal choice. You'll find it is easy to use LottoPro once you've watched it perform on actual draws. 17 ENTRY (I) (See Figure 3) Some times the lottery numbers come up all cold as far as the computer is concerned. We call this a backfill draw, where numbers that have not hit lately come up. If you can spot a trend before the computer spots it, use the (I) option to swap hot for cold numbers. ENTRY (R) (See Figure 4) If you want to go back and use stats to grade the numbers instead of hot numbers, use this option.

If you answer Y you will be shown the file names that are already used that have previous picks stored. Think up a new name and enter it. You do not need to add the extension .pic, just enter 1 to 8 characters and LottoPro will handle the rest.(Note: use DOS to remove files that you no longer want. But always have one file with the extension your .pic files just save a small file with the extension .pic and you are up and running.) Good luck !!!.
