The user enters past-drawn winning lottery numbers and the program compares them, returning a set of numbers which it considers most-probable to be drawn in the future. After the user has entered a minimum of nine (9) sets of past-winning numbers, the program does all of the mathmatical calculations, carefully analyzing each set of numbers with three (3) demanding tests. The formulas were painstakingly computed by a College Professor and field-tested for six (6) months prior to the release of this program. Super Lotto-Master is for the serious lottery player. Of course, we cannot guarantee that this program will produce a winning combination for everyone who uses it. But we can safely say it will give you an edge and increase your odds of selecting winning combinations. We are also not saying, do not play your own favorite numbers or system(s). This pro- gram should be used in conjunction with or in addition to any other system that is currently producing or has previously produced results. DO I NEED SPECIAL COMPUTER SKILLS TO USE THIS PROGRAM? ------------------------------------------------------ Absolutely not! The program has been in use since 1988. Users continuously write to us with ideas to improve the ease with which to use the program. This particular version incorporates several new designs and ideas, and is considered to be user-friendly. This means that if you only have very basic skills in computing (can boot-up, type a little, and read the screen), you should be able to run the program without even reading this manual. However, there are some very important hints in this material that can increase your odds even more, so we highly recommend that you read all of this documentation at least once. DOES THE PROGRAM PICK RANDOM NUMBERS? ------------------------------------- No! Unlike some other lottery programs that pick numbers at random (like drawing numbers out of a hat), this program does not generate numbers. You can prove this by running the calculation program more than once. You will see that exactly the same numbers will be displayed until you make additional past-winning entries into the program. WHEELING YOUR NUMBERS! ---------------------- People who wheel their numbers may combine part of the computer pick with their own favorite numbers. Our pick is the most important from left to right. That is, if the computer printed out 01-43-22-40-17-06, then 1 would be the most important, next 43, etc. -3- REGISTERING SUPER LOTTO-MASTER 2.1 ---------------------------------- Super Lotto-Master is a Shareware product. It is NOT public domain software. We have offered this program to you on a trial basis, either free from a friend, or for a nominal copying charge from one of our authorized distributors.

CREDITS ------- Special thanks to my good friends who helped develop formulas, field test the program, and offered encouragement. Chris Ranalla Bob Kuhl Gary Boetticher Dr. Perrault DISTRIBUTION FILES ------------------ The following files are included in this Shareware distribution package and must be present for the program to properly function: GO .BAT MAINMENU.PRO XXXXXXXX.EXE LOTTERY3.ADD LOTTERY3.DEL LOTTERY3.CAL NUMTHREE.DAT LOTTERY4.ADD LOTTERY4.DEL LOTTERY4.CAL NUMFOUR .DAT LOTTERY5.ADD LOTTERY5.CAL LOTTERY5.DEL NUMFIVE .DAT LOTTERY6.ADD LOTTERY6.CAL LOTTERY6.DEL NUMSIX .DAT LOTTERY7.ADD LOTTERY7.CAL LOTTERY7.DEL NUMSEVEN.DAT BIO .PRO USER .ID USERID .DAT LOGO MOREROOM.BAT INSTALL .BAT PRINTDOC.BAT LOTTERY .DOC -5- USING THE PROGRAM ----------------- The first thing you should do, as with all computer software, is to make a back-up copy of this disk and put the original away. Use the copy as your work disk. (Refer to your DOS operational manual if you need help in copying a disk.) Boot-up your computer and place the program disk in the floppy drive. At the system prompt type: GO then press the <enter> key. If you have a hard drive and wish to copy the program there, at the system prompt type: INSTALL then press the <enter> key and follow the instructions on the screen. It is highly recommended that if you have a hard drive, run the program from there. If you are running from a 360k floppy disk, the database files will quickly fill up the disk. MAIN MENU --------- The Main Menu titles appear across the top of the screen with the first pull-down menu showing on the left. Use the left/right cursor keys to move between menus, the up/down cursor keys to move between the menu items, and the enter key to select an item. If a pull-down menu is far left and you press the left cursor key, the menu will wrap around to the right side of the screen. Likewise, moving far right will end up to the left side of the screen. The blank area in the middle of the screen is known as the work area. Nothing will appear here until you select an item from the menu. QUITTING TO SYSTEM DOS ---------------------- You must always quit the program from the menu screen while the work area is blank. You may use the arrow keys to move to the QUIT menu and press enter, or you may quit from any menu position by pressing the ESCAPE key. 3-DIGIT AND 4-DIGIT NUMBERS --------------------------- Basically, the three and four digit number programs operate in the same manner, so all references made here to the three digit program, also applies to the four digit. -6- ADDING AN ENTRY - Selecting "ADD AN ENTRY" from the 3- Digit menu opens the "work area" box. The program assigns a record number to each entry and displays it in the top left corner of the 3-digit record you are working with. The program next prompts you for the 1st Digit. There will be NO blinking cursor. Just read what is on the screen and input an answer. It is not necessary to press the Enter key. Once you press a single digit for the 1st Digit, the program will print the first digit and prompt you to enter the 2nd Digit, and so forth for the 3rd digit. The digits appear in a column instead of a row to make for easier entry and readability. ORDER OF ENTRY - The three and four digit numbers MUST be entered IN THE SAME ORDER as they were drawn in the lottery. Once all three digits have been entered, you will be asked if the number is okay (Y/n)? (Yes is the default. You may enter Yes by pressing Y, y, enter, or any other key except N or n.) If the entry is correct, enter yes and the numbers will be recorded to disk. You then will be asked if you have more entries (Y/n)? If you answer No, the work area will close and you will see only the top menu. If you answer Yes, the work area will clear, the entry number will change to the next higher number, and you are ready to make your next entry. ENTRY MISTAKES - Mistakes are really simple to take care of. Your entry will never be recorded to disk until such time as you answer Yes to the "Number Okay?" question. If you ENTER A LETTER OR CHARACTER by mistake, you will immediately be prompted that it is an illegal entry and asked to re-enter the number. If you ENTER THE WRONG NUMBER and answer No to Is Entry Okay, you will be prompted to re-enter all three digits. If you ENTER THE WRONG NUMBER, you may back up by pressing the "X" key. Each press of the key backs up one more position. Each number you back up to MUST BE re-entered as backing up automatically erases the number it backs to. ABORTING ENTRIES - An entry may be aborted (cancelled) during any level of the entry process by pressing the ESCAPE key. Even to the point of when you have entered all your digits and the program asks "Number Okay?", you may press ESCAPE and abort the entry. When an entry is aborted, the "work area" will close and you are returned to the menu area. CHECKING THE NUMBER OF ENTRIES - If you wish to know how many entries you have already entered into the program, select ADD AN ENTRY from the pull-down menu. The "work area" will open and display in the upper left-hand corner the "next entry number". For example, if the Entry Number reads 19, this means you have 18 entries already recorded. To exit this screen without affecting anything, press ESCAPE to abort the entry. The next time you go to ADD, the program will again display #19 as the next entry. -7- CALCULATING THE NUMBERS - There must be a minimum of nine (9) entries before the program will calculate the possibilities. Select CALCULATE from the pull-down menu. Everything is automatic from this point. The "work area" will open up and you will view all the numbers in the database as the program pulls them into "memory" one at a time. Once it has stacked the numbers, the program does three routines (at lightning speed) and prints to screen two sets of numbers. The top set of numbers are the numbers that have appeared "most frequently" and the lower set are the ones which have appeared "least frequently". Both set of numbers are what our calculations predict as the "most likely" to be drawn "soon". This means that for a reasonable length of time, these numbers are "highly likely" to be drawn, most likely in the same order, but also with possibilities of a different order or "boxed" format. An example of a "boxed" number would be that the program displays 7-1-2 as its best pick, and the number comes in 2-7-1 (same numbers, different order). DELETING A NUMBERS DATABASE - At times, because the program has too many entries, a user wants to try a new system, etc., you will want to delete all the entries in a certain database. Select CLEAR ALL from the pull-down menu. The "work area" will open and print a warning that you are about to delete all the entries in a particular database. Answer yes and the program will clear the entries, giving you a nice, fresh database to work with. The CLEAR ALL feature allows you to go into this program and practice making entries to get use to working with the program. Realize that you cannot hurt this program. We encourage you to open the "ADD AN ENTRY" feature on a pull- down menu and immediately practice making entries. Deliberately make some errors and practice backing up with the "X" feature and re-entering your numbers. Also, answer "no" to "Number Okay?" and try re-entering the complete number. When you are comfortable with the "ADD AN ENTRY" feature, use the "CLEAR ALL" selection from the menu to erase your practice database. 5-DIGIT, 6-DIGIT AND 7-DIGIT NUMBERS ------------------------------------ Basically, the five, six and seven-digit number programs operate in the same manner, so all references made here to the six-digit program, also applies to the five and seven- digit. ADDING AN ENTRY - Selecting "ADD AN ENTRY" from the 6- Digit menu opens the "work area" box. The program assigns a record number to each entry and displays it in the top left corner of the 6-digit record you are working with. -8- The program next prompts you for the 1st Digit. There will be NO blinking cursor. Just read what is on the screen and input an answer. It is not necessary to press the Enter key, but IT IS NECESSARY to enter two (2) digits for each line entry. That is, for a single digit like 5, it is necessary to enter a zero in front of the five (05). Once you enter a double digit for the 1st Digit, the program will prompt you to enter the 2nd Digit, then the 3rd digit, fourth digit, etc. The digits appear in a column instead of a row to make for easier entry and readability. ORDER OF ENTRY - The five, six and seven-digit numbers DO NOT have to be entered in the same order as they were drawn in the lottery. They may be entered in any sequence you prefer. For example, the 6-digit number 34-17-5-2-28-40 could be entered 02-17-40-28-34-05. These numbers are analyzed as a group and not individually. However, when the program prints out what it considers to be the best numbers, the number to the far left is most important, then the next number to the right, etc. Once all six digits have been entered, you will be asked if the number is okay (Y/n)? (Yes is the default. You may enter Yes by pressing Y, y, enter, or any other key except N or n.) If the entry is correct, enter yes and the numbers will be recorded to disk. You then will be asked if you have more entries (Y/n)? If you answer No, the work area will close and you will see only the top menu. If you answer Yes, the work area will clear, the entry number will change to the next higher number, and you are ready to make your next entry. ENTRY MISTAKES - Mistakes are really simple to take care of. Your entry will never be recorded to disk until such time as you answer Yes to the "Number Okay?" question. If you ENTER A LETTER OR CHARACTER by mistake, you will immediately be prompted that it is an illegal entry and asked to re-enter the number. If you ENTER THE WRONG NUMBER and answer No to Is Entry Okay, you will be prompted to re-enter all six digits. If you ENTER THE WRONG NUMBER, you may back up by pressing the "X" key. Each press of the key backs up one more position. Each number you back up to MUST BE re-entered as backing up automatically erases the number it backs to. ABORTING ENTRIES - An entry may be aborted (cancelled) during any level of the entry process by pressing the ESCAPE key. Even to the point of when you have entered all your digits and the program asks "Number Okay?", you may press ESCAPE and abort the entry. When an entry is aborted, the "work area" will close and you are returned to the menu area. -9- CHECKING THE NUMBER OF ENTRIES - If you wish to know how many entries you have already entered into the program, select ADD AN ENTRY from the pull-down menu. The "work area" will open and display in the upper left-hand corner the "next entry number". For example, if the Entry Number reads 12, this means you have 11 entries already recorded. To exit this screen without affecting any entries already in the database, press ESCAPE to abort the entry. The next time you go to ADD AN ENTRY, the program will again display #12 as the next entry. CALCULATING THE NUMBERS - There must be a minimum of nine (9) entries before the program will calculate the possibilities. Select CALCULATE from the pull-down menu. Everything is automatic from this point. The "work area" will open up and you will view all the numbers in the database as the program pulls them into "memory" one at a time. Once it has stacked the numbers, the program does three routines (at lightning speed) and prints to screen one set of numbers. This set is the numbers that our calculations predict as the "most likely" to be drawn. This means that for a reasonable length of time, these numbers are "more likely" than others to be drawn. DELETING A NUMBERS DATABASE - At times, because the program has too many entries, a user wants to try a new system, or for some other reason, you will want to delete all the entries in a certain database. Select CLEAR ALL from the pull-down menu. The "work area" will open and print a warning that you are about to delete all the entries in a particular database. Answer yes and the program will clear the entries, giving you a nice, fresh database to work with. The CLEAR ALL feature allows you to go into this program and practice making entries to get use to working with the program. Realize that you cannot hurt this program.

Deliberately make some errors and practice backing up with the "X" feature and re-entering your numbers. Also, answer "no" to "Number Okay?" and try re-entering the complete number. When you are comfortable with the "ADD AN ENTRY" feature, use the "CLEAR ALL" selection from the menu to erase your practice database. WHAT ARE THE ODDS? ------------------ The "ODDS" pull-down menu will display each state, the name of their game, how many numbers are played, and the odds if you have one ticket. You may figure your exact odds as follows: Divide the numbers of plays you have into the odds for your state. For example, if the odds are 1-in-1,000,000, and you are playing ten (10) chances, divide 10 into 1,000,000. Your odds are 1-in-100,000. If you have 20 chances, your odds are 1-in- 50,000, etc. -10- BIORHYTHM --------- The "BIORHYTHM" menu allows you to enter the date of the drawing and your own birthdate. It then checks to see where your (P)hysical, (I)ntellectual, and (E)motional biorhythm cycles are, and plots a chance percentage. Your best cycles are when all three wave patterns are in a positive position. This is known as a "TRIPLE HIGH" or "TRIPLE HIGH JACKPOT". The program will display a percentage figure, depending on where your cycles are located. THIS IS A COMMERCIAL - Anyone wishing to obtain a program that will printout your biorhythm for any dates and any lengths, please order PERSONAL BIORHYTHM 4.4 by sending $3.00 for an evaluation copy to: Morris L. Bower, P.O. Box 715, Parkersburg, WV 26102-0715. Foreign orders only send $14.95 U.S. funds (this includes registration of the program). Please specify 3.50" or 5.25" format. ABOUT SUPER LOTTO-MASTER 2.1 ---------------------------- The "ABOUT" menu will allow you to print a registration form directly from within the program. WHEN YOU WIN ------------ We would like to hear from you when you win, no matter how large or small. Basically, we would like to know which lottery, how many numbers you had entered in the database, type of win (straight, box, etc.), amount of win, and how many times you had used this program before hitting. We would like to use the information to improve our program for future updates and pass the information along to our registered users. Anyone sending a signed story, with your signature witnessed by two other people, with all details of the win will receive a free copy of the latest version of Super Lotto-Master. Following are excerpts from just a few letters we have received: SHE HIT ON FOURTH DAY! ---------------------- "I received my copy of Super Lotto-Master... The first time I used this program I won! On July 5, I entered all of the winning numbers that had been drawn to date; there were 38 entries in the database. I then bought tickets to play the remaining 4 days of the week, using both of the numbers chosen by the (3-digit) program. On the fourth day, July 8, the second choice number was drawn. Because I had chosen both (straight and box), I won $580.00. Have enclosed the registration fee... I would like to thank you and congratulate you on your successful development of this program..." Janyce H. McLin Norfolk, Virginia -11- TWO WEEKS IN A ROW! ------------------- "...I just can't believe it. The program picked the (3- digit) number 2 weeks in a row. I had 30 numbers entered in the program on the first hit and 35 on the second hit. The first hit was the bottom number selected by your program and the second hit was the top number. Both numbers came in exactly as the program picked them. I had boxed bets each time that paid $160.00 once and $80.00 once. If I had played them straight the payoff would have been $1,000.00. You have made a believer out of me... You have my permission to use this... Jack R. Post Cleveland, OH HITS ON A REGULAR BASIS ----------------------- ...I am using Super Lotto-Master on a regular basis. Within the past 2 months I have won Pick-3 straight twice and boxed once, and pick-4 boxed once for a total of $1,180.00 I am way ahead of my losses and am now using the state's money to play my numbers. I have used several different lottery computer programs but none of them have equaled yours. Thank you for providing such a fine product... Name withheld at users request NEW SYSTEMS AND HINTS --------------------- Once a set of numbers (5, 6, or 7-digit) has been a winner, it is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY that it will ever win again. PLAYING SPACES -------------- One very creative user plays spaces in the 5-Digit program. We tried it and have come up with 5 out of the winning 6 digits a remarkable number of times. Here is an example of how you play. Each entry must be rearranged numerically. For instance, the entry 28-6-12-9-29-7 was drawn out of 36 numbers. Rearrange as 6-7-9-12-28-29. Now you will enter five digits (the spaces) as 1-2-3-16-1 into the 5-digit lottery program just as you would make a regular lottery number entry. Next calculate the spaces and use them as follows: Lets say the program picked 3-10-1-8-4. You would start with number 1 and play every possibility up to 36 (or whatever the maximum number is in your state). Following would be the numbers to play using the spaces the program has calculated: 01-04-14-15-23-27 02-05-15-16-24-28 03-06-16-17-25-29 04-07-17-18-26-30 -12- 05-08-18-19-27-31 06-09-19-20-28-32 07-10-20-21-29-33 08-11-21-22-30-34 09-12-22-23-31-35 10-13-23-24-32-36 Once we reach the number 36 as the last number, we can play no more, as 36 is the highest number in this imaginary lottery. FIVE AT A TIME! --------------- We have found it best if you do not enter a never-ending series of numbers into the databases. Once you have such a great many numbers involved, the computer pick very seldom changes, and if so, it is usually only one number that changes. Try the "five at a time" method. It will give you a better selection of numbers and more selections to choose from. Start with a "clear" database. Enter nine (9) sets of the most recent past-winning numbers. Calculate and copy down this number. Now add five (5) more previous winning numbers (for a total of 14 in database). Calculate and copy this number. Now you have two good computer picks. Add five (5) more entries and calculate, etc. This system will give you more picks. More picks mean more winners. NEED MORE ROOM? --------------- I have put a file on the disk to allow you to erase any of the databases you may not need. For instance, if there is no 7-digit lottery in your area, you may gain much needed disk space by deleting this file. Make sure you have backed up your original program and are working from the copy. Go to DOS and type MOREROOM <Enter>. Answer the prompts on the screen. WHERE TO WRITE! --------------- Send all inquiries, comments, suggestions, complaints, registrations, etc., to: MICRO-COM, INC. MORRIS L. BOWER P.O. BOX 715 PARKERSBURG, WV 26102-0715 U.S.A. All inquiries should include a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you desire an answer (except registrations - they will automatically be confirmed). When writing, be sure to mention which version you are using and a little information about your computer. Thanks. -13- If you are having trouble, be sure to tell us version of DOS you are using, how much memory you have, the size and format of disks you can use, type of monitor (VGA, CGA, etc.). The more you can tell us, the more we can help solve any problems you may be having.
