Lotto Lunacy may not be used in any commercial product without written permission of the author. And that's me.

Please remember I have put a few hours into writing it. Distribution: PDWare & passing it on. To ask for more than the normal Price of a PDWare Disc for Lotto Lunacy is not in the interest of Free Software or the PD Libraries. And if you have been Charged more than £2.00p for the disc then ASK for the rest your Change back!. What it's all about. If you haven't guessed yet 'Ha'Ha'Ha', I wrote this program to give me a user friendly and easy to use method of dealing with the weekly Lottery Numbers. The main benefit is is that you can easily see the numbers that's appeared the most from week to week and check all your past Numbers to see if they have won!! or not. In total LottoLunacy will hold up to 3 years of Lottery Numbers. Make sure you have all your Numbers Loaded before you try any thing First!. I've named my Data File as: LottoFile.LL {Warning!!......................} When saving a Data File of your own Make sure you end it with {.LL} Using LottoLunacy. Using LottoLunacy is very simple. It involves some mouse pointing & and few clicks of the mouse button, and a few keyboard strikes. These consists of the keys (Y) for yes, (N) for no, (Q) for quit, (C) clear, and (P) to print out the main screen or to print all your past numbers. I hope you're keeping up. When using the print routine PLEASE make sure that you have your Printer-On-Line and that there's plenty of paper at the ready. otherwise the program will crash. DON'T SAY YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WARNED After the main screen has loaded up and faded away you are presented with a selection of features down the left had side of the screen. You can now go and select each one with a click of the mouse pointer to activate that element of the program. First-Things-Fist!. Click the mouse pointer over Load File and you will be presented with the standard AMOS File selector. Once all the Disk activity has finished Double Click on the file called LottoFile.LL this will then load up all your past Numbers. You can then go and click on Analyse Numbers. This screen will present you with all the information that you need to let you see how many times a number or groups of numbers has come out and so on. e.g. Numbers Between 1 & 11. You can now see from the very fist draw how things are going. On this screen you can now Press (C) to clear all your Numbers, or (P) for a screen dump to your printer, and lastly you can press the space-bar. By pressing the space bar you will select another 7 random Numbers and the computer will work out each time what numbers have come out the most, just as each week would pass by. but at a press of a space bar. Analyse Data. You must have your Numbers Loaded for this screen to work!. Here you a presented with a grid type chart that when your numbers are loaded, by pressing the space bar a dot will appear along the horizontal line for that week. As for the interpretation of the information: the Numbers from 1 to 49 run along the bottom and the weeks run up thee screen. As more and more Dots appear you may start to see some kind of pattern forming. Disclaima. Lotto Lunacy is placed in the Public Domain and may be freely redistributed via any means.
