-
- The global lottery phenomenon has shown without
- doubt that people are incapable of picking
- random numbers as well as a computer.
-
- On the other hand how many computer programs take
- into account the mechanics by which lottery numbers
- are produced? .... None.. litle wonder that the numbers
- produced by these programs bear little resemblance to
- the sort of numbers picked by a real lottery machine.
-
- Picker is program that uses the sort of mechanical logic
- used in a real lottery machine to pick numbers. Just
- like a real lottery machine, picker does not attempt
- to predict but simply bounces balls about until one
- hits the open trapdoor and gets selected. Unlike
- other programs that magic up a set of numbers, with picker
- you get to see the balls flying about.
-
- With the picker you can select the balls you want in play
- and how many of them you want the picker to pick. These
- settings are preserved for each session. Picker
- now allows you to set the release angle for the balls.
-
- A separate analysis module , specific to the UK lottery,
- is provided which allows you to identify trends in balls
- drawn to date and use them to influence the choice of balls
- you want in play. I plan to do a lot more on the
- analysis module.
-
- Although supplied as two executables, registering one
- program automatically registers the other.
- The registration fee is 10 British pounds
- but the shareware processing people only work in
- US dollars so taking into account their small comission
- the registration fee for everyone is 17 USD.
-
- You can however get a free registration code. To do
- that simply email me a suggestion on how I might improve
- picker, and as long as you are the first to suggest it
- I'll send you a registration code in return.
-
- The program will start to remind you to register 30 days after
- it is first used. Registration details are provided within
- the programs by pressing the "about" button.
-
- A secure online ordering facility set up through
- Kagi shareware processing now allows you to puchase
- picker with any major credit card. Press the "Buy" button
- in the "about" window to be guided through the process.
- A few days after you have sent your order to kagi
- you should receive an unlock code from me.
