                    LOTTO WINNER 1.1s INFORMATION FILE


General Info

 1. Lotto Winner increases about 3 times chances of winning smallest prize.
    It also increases 10 to 1000s times chances of winning larger prizes,
    however this still may be not enough to hit the jackpot.
 2. This program does not use function RANDOM.
    All predicted numbers are results of mathematical functions performed on
    past lottery results.
 3. Main idea is to let the computer find the best methods of predicting
    lottery results and the main goal is to generate best numbers for future
    drawings.
 4. Program is able to predict numbers for any kind of lottery -
    Super Lotto, Fantasy 5, Daily 3 & 4, Decco, Etc.
 5. Lotto Winner is designed to be as easy to use as possible. It has only
    short manual (following) and information/instruction in the program.
 6. Methods:
     Methods beginning with 2: Based on least frequent numbers
     Methods beginning with 3: Based on least frequent numbers
     Methods beginning with 4: Based on repetitivness of bets
     Methods beginning with 7: Based on most frequent numbers
    Other methods and details are secret.


Using Computer For Predicting Lottery Numbers

 Almost everybody who plays lotto has some method of playing, whether important
 dates or by checking pattern of previous lotto results.
 Lotto Winner incorporates hundreds of different methods to find which ones are
 most effective.
 There are many lottery programs that help you eliminate some of the numbers and
 choose another - more likely to be drawn. Sometimes you may be able to choose
 twenty, sometimes only fifteen numbers that are likely to come in the next
 drawing. And even if only fifteen numbers are still too many to make your bet
 your chances of winning may be thousand times better.
 You may use your brain or computer to arrange those numbers in tickets and win
 at least small prizes if your selection contains winning numbers.

Predicting Numbers Against Groups Of Numbers

 However you may be able to select hottest numbers, it is still far from being
 a winner. Usually even if you chose one number that you think has to come,
 you still need a second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth. Even if you select
 two "hot" numbers you must be lucky to get the rest. Sometimes you may choose
 20 different numbers and later find out that only 3 of them were winners.
 And of course you cannot even buy a ticket with 20 numbers on it.
 Here comes the idea of selecting not single numbers but whole GROUPS of
 numbers at once. In other words, since you can predict that ALL numbers from
 latest lottery will not repeat next time, you can eliminate this BET.
 You can also eliminate BET with numbers 1 through 6 or BETS containing only
 even or only odd numbers since it is unlikely for them to win.  Finally, if
 you could live 3000 years, you could eliminate as many unlikely BETS, that
 your chances of winning would improve greatly. Maybe, if you could live 20
 more centuries, you could find some efficient METHODS of predicting GROUPS of
 numbers.

Lotto Winner Contra Other Lottery Software

 With LOTTO WINNER you don't need to waste any more time. Unlike other programs
 it doesn't help you find HOT numbers or displays tables with frequency of
 each number. Lotto Winner has built-in few hundred METHODS of predicting whole
 GROUPS of numbers. Instead of generating single HOT number, it generates the
 BEST METHODS of predicting and predicts BETS according to them.
 Another advantage of the Lotto Winner is its easiness of use, since it
 DOESN'T HELP you select the best numbers but actually SELECTS them for you
 and GENERATES ready BETS.
 Of course even winning small prizes is not easy and new, more efficient
 METHODS are in development. You may also need help of other programs or simple
 power of mind to win anything.

How Lotto Winner Works

 To work, Lotto Winner needs results of past lotteries and at least last 50 is
 recommended.This version accept up to 200 drawings. You may either provide a
 file with the past lotteries or Lotto Winner will help you create it.
 Before you perform an analysis you may select few more parameters like
 generating more numbers then picks or predicting for past rather then for
 future (to check the performance).
 When you finally choose to Analyze Methods, program will check hundreds to
 thousands of different predicting methods by generating BETS and comparing
 them to the past winnings.
 Every METHOD is a mathematical function that builds BET according to the
 winning numbers from previous drawings. Later each BET is compared against
 next drawing and in such way each method is checked for efficiency.
 After analysis is finished, you can check how each of the METHODS performed.
 You can also display all the past drawings, and see which of the methods
 won, when and how many hits.
 Lotto Winner sorts methods according to their ratings and you may choose any
 number of the best methods to make your predictions for the future or you
 may enter up to 10 single methods.
 It is possible for Lotto Winner to generate BETS with up to twice numbers
 then there is picks in the lottery. In this case you may need to use
 Lotto Winner's own WHEELING SYSTEM to group the NUMBERS into TICKETS.
 For example if you have 12 numbers likely to come, wheeling system can generate
 tickets made from different combinations of these numbers.


---------
FILE MENU
---------
 When you first start the program, you should choose LOAD/CREATE WORKING FILE
 option from the MAIN MENU. This opens the FILE MENU.

Creating/Updating Files

 First choice is to CONFIGURE/UPDATE. Press ENTER to move to the small window.
 Now you can move cursor inside the window using UP/DOWN arrows. Pressing any
 letter or number initiates entry. So, if you want to choose a file or create
 a new one, move the cursor to the FILE NAME. Type name of file to be loaded or
 created and press ENTER key. Program will check the current directory for this
 file. If it cannot find it, you will be asked if you want to CREATE NEW FILE ?
 Press 'Y' or 'N'.
 If you answer 'Y' program will ask you to enter PICKS PER LOTTO ? Please type
 number of picks in the lottery and press ENTER.
 Whether you created the new file or want to update the old one, you can move
 the cursor to the ENTER NEW DATE option that let you enter the date of the
 first or next lottery drawing. After you press ENTER you have to enter the
 winning numbers for that day. Press ENTER after typing each of the numbers.
 After you enter required amount of numbers, you may exit to the FILE MENU by
 pressing ESC or TAB. You may also continue updating file by entering NEW DATE.

Displaying Lottery Results

 After you select or create a file, you may review the DATES and NUMBERS by
 choosing the DISPLAY NUMBERS option. After pressing ENTER or TAB you move
 to the smaller window, where you can use UP/DOWN arrows to move through the
 data. Pressing HOME/END keys will display the first 15 or the last 15 dates.
 Pressing CTRL and P at the same time will print all the lottery results on
 your printer. ESC or TAB will take you back to the FILE MENU.

 Pressing ESC or choosing the EXIT option from the FILE MENU will display the
 MAIN MENU.


-------------
ANALYSIS MENU
-------------
 Second choice in the MAIN MENU is the LOTTO ANALYSIS/PREDICTIONS which opens
 the ANALYSIS MENU.

Analyzing Methods

 Analyze Methods option starts the main module of the program. Lotto Winner has
 built-in few hundred different methods of predicting numbers. Each of them
 builds a BET from the certain amount of past lottery results. Each generated
 BET is compared with the next winning numbers. For example if a BET is made
 from the lottery results #5 through #20, than is compared with lottery #21.
 If generated BET hit the minimum number of HITS required, the method is
 considered as effective and its rating is increased. In the whole process of
 Analyzing Methods, each of the methods is checked against each of the past
 drawings and is given rating equal to number of HIT dates.
 Since Analysis may take up to 30 minutes on slow computers, you may press any
 key to Interrupt it at any time.
 Upon completion of Analysis or its part, you may review all the methods that
 were checked. Pressing ENTER or TAB moves you to the small window, where you
 can use UP/DOWN arrows to see its content. The window displays Number of each
 effective METHOD followed by number of HITS for each of the hit DATES.

Display Ratings

 After program finishes Analyzing Methods, you can check how each of the methods
 behaved. When you move the cursor to the DISPLAY RATINGS option and press TAB
 or ENTER, you can review all the rated methods sorted in order of their
 effectiveness. Each RATING tells you how many percent of times a METHOD
 generated winning BETS. Sometimes the RATING can be higher for methods that
 hit more then minimum number of required HITS. Also ratings between methods
 that hit the same number of times can differ if the methods use different
 number of drawings to generate bets.

Display Hit Dates

 This option can be activated after Analyzing Methods by selecting it with the
 cursor and pressing TAB or ENTER. This display all the DATES and how many
 times each of them was hit during Analysis. Remember, you may print content of
 most of the windows by pressing CTRL and P at the same time.

Predicting

 Always after you Analysed Methods you can predict (or at least try to predict)
 next drawing by using Predict! option. When you move the cursor down to this
 option, program automatically selects the best BETS according to the 10 BEST
 METHODS, it also shows the hottest numbers that repeat in few predictions.
 You may change number of methods used for Predicting in the Choose Methods
 option. You may also enter up to 10 METHODS individually.

Options

 The last choice in the Analysis Menu is "Options". Here you can configure the
 program to do analysis according to your specifications.
 1. You may request that program will show the numbers it selects during
  Analysis.
 2. You can tell the program to generate more numbers per bet then there
  is picks in the lottery. In this case program will generate up to double
  amount of numbers during Analysing and Predicting.
 3. You should also enter the number of Minimum Hits to tell the program when it
  has to consider checked method as effective. For example if smallest prize in
  the lottery is paid for 3 winning numbers, you should enter 3. In DECCO, where
  $5 is paid for hitting 2 numbers, but free ticket is paid for hitting only 1,
  you can enter either 1 or 2 as number of Minimum Hits.
 4. Last option "Predict For:" let you perform Analysis and Predictions for
  past instead of future so you can compare or check how helpful this program
  would be if you were using it earlier. For example if you entered 10/20/93,
  program would Analyse all the lotteries before this date and show Predictions
  for this day.


-------------
WHEELING MENU
-------------
 Third choice in the MAIN MENU is the WINNER'S WHEELING SYSTEM. Selecting it
 moves you to the WHEELING MENU.

 In general WHEELING NUMBERS is a way of grouping numbers so they never repeat.
 For example you may select 8 different numbers and you want to use all of them
 in the lottery, where you can pick only 6 numbers. WHEELING system will create
 for you as many different tickets as necessary to include all 8 numbers on
 them and in such way that they never repeat.
 Sometimes you may want to include 12 different numbers on your pick-6 tickets.
 In this case the wheeling system would generate for you almost 1000 tickets.
 Since not many can afford it, WINNER'S WHEELING SYSTEM will create much less
 tickets at cost of smaller prizes. Using it you can chose how many winning
 numbers you want to be guaranteed. For example if you have 12 numbers and
 enter Guarantee=4, the Winner's Wheeling System will create only 8 tickets and
 if all winning numbers will be among yours, at least one ticket will hit 4.
 In addition few more tickets will hit 3 and there is always a chance to hit
 5 or 6!

Entering Parameters

 After selecting this option you must enter Numbers to wheel, number of Picks
 and how many hits you want to be Guranteed if your selected Numbers contain
 all of the winning numbers. You may press F1 to select numbers 1 thru 18.

Wheeling

 After pressing ENTER this module creates and displays all tickets according
 to the selected Parameters. Pressing CTRL and P at the same time will print
 all tickets on your printer.
