1. Introduction
---------------
Lottery is a free palm application for checking your lottery tickets.
Anyone who has many tickets, such as those in a lottery syndicate, will
know how much trouble it is to go through all the tickets checking them
against the week's winning numbers. This program will do all that work
for you by checking all of the tickets and telling you which ones have
won anything.
This current version is modelled around the lottery in the UK and as
such it handles tickets containing six numbers of between one and
fourty nine. Six main numbers and a bonus number are drawn each time
the lottery is played and the winning combinations are three, four,
five or six main numbers or five main numbers and the bonus ball. In
the future I would like to extend my program to be configurable for
any lottery system so I would appreciate any information detailing
the lotteries in your area so that I can make sure that it will be
able to handle them.
2. Installation and Use
-----------------------
Once you have downloaded and unpacked the archive you should have a file
called Lottery.prc in your directory. Install this file onto your Palm
Pilot in the usual way using the 'Install Tool' or similar which comes
with the Palm Pilot. Once installed an icon with the label 'Lottery'
should appear in your application list.
The Lottery application works very much like standard Palm applications
such as MemoPad. From the main screen, tap 'New' to add a new ticket.
Once a ticket has been entered you can edit it by tapping on the entry
for it in the list. From the edit screen you can change any of the
numbers, change the category or delete the ticket. Tapping the 'Check'
button on the main screen will let you check the tickets in the current
category against the weeks results. You will be prompted to enter the
winning numbers and then the tickets will be checked. You can customize
the result display from the 'Prefences' menu on the main screen.
Because only the tickets in the current category are checked when you
hit the 'Check' button, you can group your tickets into different
categories for different competitions. For example you may want to
create one category for Saturday tickets and another for Wednesday
tickets in the UK lottery. To check all tickets just select the 'All'
category.
3. New Versions
---------------
The newest version of Lottery will always be available from my website:
http://www.matt.oaktree.co.uk/computing/lottery.shtml
so check back there from time to time to look out for updates. Also from
the same web page you can submit your email address so that you will be
automatically sent an email when new versions become available.
4. Bug Reports
--------------
If you find any faults in either the application itself or its
documentation then I would be really grateful if you could report them
to me by email at matt.marsh@bigfoot.com. If you could include the
version number of the program you are running (this can be found from
the 'About' dialog box) then that would also be helpful.
5. Distribution and Usage Policy
