PC-LOTTO manual ====================================== VERSION 2.1 Lotto-Ware Victoria 870 Gladiola Ave Victoria B.C. Canada V8Z 2T6 Ph.:479-8536 PREFACE This program is intended for people who like to play Lotto. If this is you, you are probably looking for some relationship between drawn numbers. Is there any or not? Can we find a system which WORKS ? One thing is for sure, here are millions of dollars to be won by the people who crack Lotto's winning combination. Everybody knows, that Lotto numbers are drawn randomly. But watch out !! With this program you can see for yourself that some numbers are picked more frequently in a given time period then others. Up to 5 to 6 times more often. Utility program FREQUENCY will tell you how many times each number was drawn in a given time period. Subprogram PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK will pick out six numbers out of the category you select.(HOT, COLD, RANDOM numbers,etc.) If you forget some reports a few weeks back, no problem you can turn the clock back and get them again. Do you want to see specific situations. Let's say .. 12 draws back? Use HISTORY MODE. Enclosed is your user friendly manual. We hope you enjoy this program and wish you success in the LOTTO. -------- - 2 - HOW TO GET STARTED The best manual is No manual. This program is menu driven and you can try each report on Menu to see what it does. All you need is continuous paper loaded into the printer. As some reports are two or three pages long. Boot up computer with DOS disk. Enter Time and Date. For proper functioning an Updated File of Lotto winning numbers is needed. Put the disk in the drive and type PCLOTTO <ENTER> Main menu is on the screen. First letter of each line is highlighted and you pick out <W> for WORK WITH MAIN FILE. The best way is to get Hard copy of the file on your printer. Compare the list of winning numbers with the official list from your State or Provincial LOTTO . If there are no differences then press <Q> for Quit and get back to main menu. Find the last entry and update the file pressing 'E' (Enter Winning Numbers). Program will ask you to enter numbers from each draw.(incl. BONUS if appl.) As soon as the file is up to date, view it again and make sure, that there is no mistake. Any problems could be corrected by entering program "WORK WITH MAIN FILE" (press 'W') and let yourself quide through the procedure. You can edit, delete or insert any entry. GET REPEATING SETS You have to specify the number of last draws you want to work with. It must be a minimum of 10. Take into consideration how many draws there are per week. If you enter 16, it means in the case of two draws per week, that you are working with winning numbers from last eight weeks ( = two month). If there are three numbers which repeated themselves at least twice the program will find them and print them on report. The same thing with couples of numbers which come together at least twice in the same period of time. This action is realy time consuming and you might want to go and get a cup of coffee meantime. It depends on the number of draws and on the speed of your computer, expect anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours. ------ - 3 - FREQUENCY How many times did they draw number <36> in the last three months? And what about number <13>? We know that certain numbers were "missed" in the last several draws. But how many times? All these questions will be aswered by program FREQUENCY. And more! The list will be established and sorted to show which numbers are "The Best" (HOT) and which numbers were missed and how many times in a row (COLD NUMBERS). List of HOT NUMBERS is dependent on the number of draws, and is different if we look at the last 20 draws or at the last 25 draws. This is important to remember! YOUR GOOD NUMBERS Everybody has them! Your birthday, marriage, lucky day. Would you have won any prize in those days you forgot to buy a ticket? Enter the numbers them and let the computer tell you how they did and let us hope you did not miss the first prize! From version 2.1 there is an option to put all numbers on a disk and retreave them later. There are up to 50 tickets per file and 12 files are available. (Ticket files have a name you choose and a fixed extention <._S_> which stands for 'selection file'.) PC_LOTTO QUICKPICK Computer will pick out numbers for up to a 100 tickets. You can direct picking to certain groups of numbers. One of the choices also being six RANDOM numbers. You can tell the computer to pick, let's say, six numbers out of the TOP 20 from the LIST OF HOT NUMBERS based on last 12 draws. Or from the LIST OF COLD NUMBERS or any combination of the above. One number of those six could be from the last draw or you can choose from one up to three numbers from your own lucky numbers (they should be the ones you "feel for sure" will be drawn the next time!) Buy the tickets or play just "on paper". The next draw will show you if it was a right choice. If you do not want to wait for the next coming draw then put yourself back,let's say, ten draws using HISTORY MODE. All the numbers picked while in HISTORY MODE will be checked against 10 "future" draws which already occured and if there was a prize it would be printed. There is an endless choice of combinations and lots of room for you to choose the "best" system for numbers. Also if it does not work this time it may start working two weeks from now. Remember, our goal is to find a strategy which will give us the best return on our invested money. This way we stand better chance of collecting the Jackpot or any other major prize. ------ - 4 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SCREEN PICK UP FROM 1) HOT NUMBERS 2) COLD NUMBERS 3) ONE FROM LAST DRAW 4) RANDOM NUMBERS 5) SELECT YOUR OWN NUMBERS TO PICK UP = 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Remember - whatever the choice, it is still random pick. Here is an example. Assume, that you have to choose 6 numbers from 49 numbers for your LOTTO ticket. If number one is pressed we will be directing picking to the list of HOT numbers. It is a good idea to get a hard copy of the list from the subprogram FREQUENCY, certainly when playing for the first time. First question appears at the bottom of the screen: How many to be picked out of HOT NUMBERS: We have a choice of picking out one,two,three...or all six numbers on our ticket(s) from the list of HOT NUMBERS. Each ticket has to have six numbers! Let us pretend we pick two numbers (press <RETURN>). It means we have 4 numbers left and screen is changing NUMBERS TO PICK UP = 4 The list of HOT NUMBERS has 49 lines and we are asked: Use ?? from the list of HOT NUMBERS: (8-25) Now we are targeting certain group of numbers on the list. Enter 12 this time. A portion of the list with twelve numbers will be used as "a bag" for our random pick. It is obvious, that we have to mark the first number of those twelve on the list. Computer has to be able to extract them. This is the job of the next question: Enter starting position of the first number: (1-38) If we enter number one, then the first number of our 12 is the first number of the list of HOT NUMBERS. Only the 12 top numbers are used for random pick. If number 38 is entered then it becomes the first and number 49 is the last. It means that the bottom 12 numbers of the list will be used for random pick. If any number between 1 and 38 is used, then the 12 numbers are extracted from the middle of the list. As of yet the List of HOT NUMBERS has not been established. It will chang with the number of draws involved. We have to answer the last question: List of HOT NUMBERS will be made from ?? draws: Eight is minimum (to keep true random pick) and maximum is the total number of draws we have on file. List of COLD NUMBERS is always made from the last 50 draws. There is a reason behind it. If we use only 25 last draws for the LIST OF COLD NUMBERS then several of them might get tight up on the first place (not being drawn 25 times in a row). In LOTTO 6/49 (CANADA) happened that the NUMBER 28 was missed 75 times in a row. ------- - 5 - TABLE OF POPULARITY Some numbers become very "popular" at certain times, some seem to be "fading away". This popularity is based on the number of draws you specify. Let's say we picked last 20 draws. Here we see the first few lines of the report: -35 -30 -25 -20 -15 -10 -5 -*---------*---------*---------*---------*---------*---------*---------* 1/ 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 4 4 4 4 4 2/ 2 2 2 2 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 3/ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Start reading at the LAST column. Number ONE was drawn in last 20 draws four times, number TWO was drawn twice and number THREE four times. How was THE SAME SITUATION 10 draws back ? That time was number ONE drawn just once in last 20 draws, number TWO twice and number THREE three times. The report goes back to show the table up to 35 draws back. WAIT-FOR-HIT TABLE This is a convenient way to track Lotto numbers. You can tell at a glance which numbers are HOT and which are COLD. This table should be used for choosing numbers using the SKIPPING HABIT TABLE. Some numbers are very often chosen after skipping certain number of draws. sample: SKIPPING HABIT TABLE 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... # ---------------------------------------------------- 1) 5 7 4 4 2 2 1 1 - 3 1 2 -..... . . 26) 4 5 4 10 1 4 3 2 3 - 2 1 1 1....... Number ONE was drawn 5 times without skipping one game and 7 times after skipping 1 game.(since LOTTO started). A strong 'habit' can be seen if we look at number 26. It prefers to 'come back' after being missed 3 times. Number 26 was chosen only ONCE after skipping 4 times. What does it mean to us? If we see the number 26 being skipped 3 times in our current WAIT- FOR-HIT TABLE then there is a very good chance that this number will be drawn next coming draw. It appears to be frequently drawn after missing 3 games. Look at the sudden drop from 10 to 1 when skipped 4 times. WHEELING SYSTEMS Do you want to dramatically increase your chances to win? Then use a system, where scientific mathematical tools can help you. Wheeling systems are an absolute MUST for all serious Lotto players. When you wheel Lotto numbers, you win by mathematical probability, not by chance. By wheeling just one extra number your chances are cut from 1 to 14 000 000 to only 1 to 2 000 000. The more numbers you wheel, the greater the chance of winning. chart of ALL posible combinations of 6 numbers: numbers wheeled numbers wheeled 7 7 13 1,716 8 28 14 3,003 9 84 15 5,005 10 210 16 8,008 11 462 18 18,564 12 924 19 38,760 ----- - 6 - To play every possible combination of 12 numbers would cost you $924. Who can afford to spend that much money on Lotto tickets? Not many of us, but you can play a Wheeling system which is abbreviated and the cost is brought down and you can still enjoy the minimum win assurance. Here is a sample: 6T:12N (4if6) SYSTEM Translate: 6 tickets, 12 numbers wheeled, guarantee = if all six Winning numbers are in our 12 numbers wheeled, then the minimum is one ticket with 4 winning numbers. The minimum can be translated: if we meet the worst circumstances you still get a prize. Chances are, that you get several prizes and possibly even the Jackpot (if all six in 12). Wheeling numbers stretches the chances of your betting dollars. By playing 100T:20N (4if6) SYSTEM you cover close to a half of Lotto numbers (in 6/49). Your chances are even better if HOT numbers are played. Wheeling System numbers are "Forward checked" if entered in HISTORY MODE. HISTORY MODE There may be times when you would like to know how the reports looked a few weeks back, or just one draw back. You can turn time back up to 25 weeks (50 draws) and evaluate those situations. You can use the computer to pick out the numbers (program PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK) which will be matched with winning numbers of all the draws you "went back". Let's see an example. Go to HISTORY MODE and after pressing 'H' the computer will ask you how many draws you want to go back. Pick up two. This means that the computer does not see the last two draws and the display of THE LAST DRAW on MENU is changed accordingly. You can not ENTER WINNING NUMBERS or WORK WITH MAIN FILE in HISTORY MODE. You can get printouts from other choices. The only difference is that all the reports are 'two draws old'. You can also use PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK. And again, all the tables used for lists of HOT NUMBERS or COLD NUMBERS are 'two draws old' but every ticket is compared with those 'two future draws' and all the 'winnings' are typed out telling you which ticket, which draw and how many numbers are matching winning numbers. The best way to understand the system is to try it out. Go to HISTORY MODE and then to PC_LOTTO QUICKPICK. Try HOT NUMBERS for all six on a ticket and get 100 tickets. Then try PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK from COLD NUMBERS, again for 100 tickets. Can you see the difference. Try the same for RANDOM PICK, 100 tickets. WHEELING NUMBERS subprogram does not print tickets in HISTORY MODE. The list of winnings is printed instead along with numbers used. The usual FORWARD CHECK is done the same as for PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK subprogram. ------ - 7 - HOW TO START A LOTTO FILE FOR A SYSTEM NOT INCLUDED ON THE DISK. ___________________________________________________________________ Almost any LOTTO system can be started using a subprogram START A NEW LOTTO However, there are some limitations. First of all gather all the informations. 1) FULL OFFICIAL NAME OF STATE OR PROVINCIAL LOTTO 2) HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE USED (LIMITS = 25 to 56) 3) HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE DRAWN (BONUS NOT INCLUDED) (4 to 8) 4) HOW MANY NUMBERS ARE SELECTED ON A TICKET (4 to 8) 5) BONUS NUMBER IS DRAWN (YES OR NO) 6) GET ALL WINNING NUMBERS (+ BONUS IF AVAIL) since day No. 1 ENTER A DATE OF A DRAW AND NUMBERS ONE BY ONE. To start any LOTTO file you need ONLY the first draw date and numbers. The next step is to Load the LOTTO you just created (LOAD ANOTHER LOTTO). Enter all other winning numbers till the most recent last draw. If you have numbers, let's say, for the last year, you can enter them and insert draws from the earlier date, as they become available to you. Each draw can be edited, deleted or new entry can be iserted at the beginning or to the middle of the file. The Wheeling Systems work only with a LOTTO, where there are SIX numbers selected on a single ticket. ------ - 8 - PC-LOTTO Club. ( information ) There is a brand new concept to playing Lotto using a computer. This Club will supply software and gather all Lotto Players who are interested in this unique way of playing. Our software package gives you endless possibilities in extracting information about numbers. Books remain to be written about the usage of the program. Just imagine yourself playing "the horses" or "stocks" and using Random Pick or your birthday date. Your chances would not be improved at all. The same thing with Lotto numbers. You have to look at your Lotto Playing as an investment. Everybody wants to get the best return on their investment. Right!! What to do about the Lotto? If you are buy two or three tickets a year then just don't bother with this. However, if it is so many tickets per week then you should think about improving the return on your investment. Is there a guarantee of winning when you use a computer? No there is not, just like there is not a guarantee when using a computer while buying stock. Your chances are largely improved when an intelligent aproach is taken. Here you are combining chances, your skills and the power of a computer. The skillful player who handicaps the Lotto numbers is eventually bound to win and beat the odds. Wall Street analysts chart stocks, bonds and commodities, studying past price action to determine future price trends to reduce odds against the investor. It is called "Technical Analysis". You are going to do the same with Lotto Numbers. What is the secret to winning? Just select the Lotto Numbers that have the greatest mathematical probability of being chosen the next draw. Our software package is supplies a large number of information. Lists of Hot and Cold Numbers which tell you how many times was a number was drawn or missed in the number of draws you specify. (min 10 and max since Lotto started). Also many different charts and tables which show hidden dependancies. A special feature and a great aid are The Wheeling Systems. They are scientific, mathematical tool which allow you to give your money more leverage and dramatically improve your odds over random selection. It's a truly mathematical breakthrough for the Lotto Player. Our concept is brand new and we feel there should be a center or core where all experience, tips and hints would be collected and passed back to the users. That is why PC-LOTTO Club was started. The cost is minimal and the benefits are great. There are millions to be won each week. Report all "bugs" (if any) and tell us about any suggestions you might have. Tell us about your experience with the program, what works for you and what would you recomend to others. Please, report all the winnings over $500. Your name will never be published, just initials and the city. We need input from you for our PC-LOTTO Club Newsletter. Share with us "your story of winning". Or your story "of playing LOTTO using the computer". Everybody is curious how to improve odds and what is the way "the other guy is taking". The concept is much bigger then the author. LotoWare Victoria is more concerned with improving the code, making it better and faster, adding more utilities and keeping the price low then writing books about "How to use PC-LOTTO." There is a room for other vendors and for user input. As a registered member you can expect an improved version arriving the next year along with the Newsletter. Our goal is to have the PC-LOTTO Club Newsletter printed at least four times a year. If you win over $500 dollars, you are eligible to buy a PC-LOTTO T-shirt for Winners. Also available are aregular PC_LOTTO T-shirts. Identify yourself in a crowd as a serious LOTTO player. Perhaps you will attract the attention of other LOTTO players and ideas will be shared. You don't care whose idea it was, as soon as you win it BIG. The T-Shirts are from durable and washable material. When ordering T- Shirt do not forget the size and choice of two colors. T-SHIRT PRICE..... $15 US or eq. CAN (includes handling and mailing) --- - 9 - WHAT CAN THE PROGRAM DO : - Check if there was ever any winnings on combination of your numbers. - Find the BEST number in the last 10 or 100 or 300 draws. Or in any number of·draws you specify. For example: The BEST NUMBER (Lotto 6/49 CANADA) is 7, drawn 54 times in 317 draws, compared with "the worst" number 15, drawn 26 times. Get sorted list of "HOT NUMBERS" for any number of draws. You can imagine, that the list will change a bit with each new draw. Some numbers keep themselves among "HOT NUMBERS" if you get last 300 draws or just last 20. Can you figure out which numbers they are? Try it! - Get sets of numbers which repeat themselves. EXAMPLE: What is the BEST SET OF THREE NUMBERS since Lotto 6/49 (CANADA) started? Do not try to do this manually! It takes 3 hours for the computer. In 317 draws there were three sets: 11,19,25 - 9,11,46 and 27,44,47. Each drawn 5 times. What is the BEST COUPLE of numbers? For Lotto 6/49 it is 27,44 drawn 13 times for the same time period. The SECOND BEST COUPLE are several sets drawn 11 times. What is the BEST COUPLE for the last 50 draws? You can find out for yourself using the program. - The program does not enter new winning numbers for you. You HAVE TO DO THIS after each draw to keep your software "up-to-date". Even your 8 years old son can do it for you. It's easy, user friendly, menu driven. - Want to see how the list of HOT numbers looked 10,20 or 50 draws back? PUT yurself into HISTORY MODE and get reports printed. Compare them with the current ones! - To pick out your numbers for the coming draw. Use PC-LOTTO QUICKPICK and pick them out from the HOT LIST or from the COLD list. Tell the computer: "I want to use the first 20 numbers from the HOT list made from the last 25 draws. Pick out 4 numbers from those and two numbers at random from all 49 numbers (you need six numbers for Lotto 6/49) Use this system for 10 tickets!". It takes few seconds of computer time to make the list, sort it, pick numbers from the designated areas and print all 10 tickets. There is an endless number of combinations you can choose. You can design your system and find out if it works, just "on paper" first. If you put yourself into HISTORY MODE, let's say back 5 draws, then all the numbers you picked will be checked against those 5 draws which the program did not see when picking out numbers. If there was a prize it would be printed automatically. If some system works "on paper" then try it for real! - The Number Wheeling Systems - from 6 tickets (12 numbers wheeled) up to 100 tickets (20 numbers wheeled) There are many combinations in between. If all six numbers drawn are among those you picked then there is a guarantee of winning. It is a must for Group Playing. There is an option to get multiple printouts. In the History Mode all numbers are checked "forward" and all prizes are printed. This is very handy for finding "the best system". Whatever system you use for choosing the numbers then TEST it first in the History Mode. (go back 3-5 draws) This utility gives you tremendous power to find the best way without loosing a penny. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEELING SYSTEMS IN VERSION 2.1 WORK ONLY FOR A LOTTO WITH SIX NUMBERS SELECTED ON A TICKET ! - Popularity Table, Wait-For-Hit Table, Skipping Habit Table and more...
