CHAPTER I HOW LOTTERIES OPERATE: Now for some information about how lotteries work and especially the lotto type games where you select the numbers you wish to play. The DAILY PICK 3 is basically copied from the old illegal numbers game which was played in all the large northern cities in years past. You would select three numbers from 1 to 999, pay your 25 cents, or whatever, and if your numbers matched the last three numbers of the stock market's ending daily investment amount or some other number that could not be manipulated, you would win about $100.00 depending on the odds. The numbers had to match exactly in order. (Example: a selection of 639 meant that 639 had to come up in that order to win). To cover the three numbers so they would win if they came up in any order 396, 963, etc., the player could "box the numbers." Instead of the bet costing 25 cents the same three numbers would cost $1.50 and the numbers would win if they came up in any of the 6 different ways that they could appear. The new legal state lotteries do tend to work the same way with some small differences. With the new legal state lotteries, you select 5, 6, or 7 numbers (depending on the rules of your lottery) from 1 to say 40 or 49 etc. The state or other lottery commission also selects the same amount of numbers from within that range. If your numbers each match their numbers, 'YOU WIN' the Jackpot or at least share in the Jackpot. You would also win a limited amount of money if you picked 5 out of 6, or even 4 out of 6, etc. The lotteries are all different in that one state may select 6 numbers from 1 to 36 and another may select 5 numbers from 1 to 40, etc. The best way to select numbers for lotto is by avoiding the use of birthdays, or a lot of small numbers. These types of number selections are common and increase the likelihood of having to divide the 'Jackpot' when you win. Using numbers randomly selected by computer is the best way to avoid outside interference that may effect number selections. The 'stats' section of LOTTO PROPHET can help in your number selection, since numbers do tend to repeat, to go on hot streaks, and to come up often with certain other numbers. It is better to select numbers that are going to win, than to play numbers because others are not selecting those numbers. The best way to win the lotteries is by using both good number selection by computer randomization, plus pattern checking by statistical research. Having Lady Luck on your side helps too! (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 5 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS LOTTO PROPHET was developed for the IBM Personal Computer and operates properly on most compatible computers. The system requirements are very simple: 1. MS-DOS or PC-DOS, Version 2.1 or later. 2. At least one 720K floppy disk drive. 3. A printer, for producing the reports and Prophet Cards is recommended. 4. The program will operate much faster from a hard disk. OVERVIEW DataMicro's LOTTO PROPHET is a sincere attempt to increase the interest and the pleasure of individuals and groups who like to play the lottery by helping keep a record of numbers picked as well as recording the previously called lottery numbers. The LOTTO PROPHET has the ability to maintain all of the State, Canadian 6/49 and Australian lotteries at one time. TECHNICAL SUPPORT: DataMicro will provide 3 months of support with the purchase of LOTTO PROPHET. The best and fastest way to get technical assistance is by telephone. (941)629-7720 voice and (941)625-2285 fax). Tech Support hours are as follows: 9am - 5:30pm Est, Monday thru Friday. Tech Support questions which are faxed will be answered and mailed to you. Please make sure you have your name and address on the fax. PLEASE, WHEN YOU CALL BE AT YOUR COMPUTER AND HAVE "THE PROPHET" RUNNING. THANK YOU !! GOOD ADVICE: This program is completely menu driven and is very easy to follow; however, the documentation is not that easy to comprehend by just reading it. My advice is to read over the manual once to discover what the program can do then use the manual only as needed to learn one section at a time. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 6 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. FILES- Before we start into the operation lets talk a little about the files involved with LOTTO PROPHET. In past versions of this program most of the technical support questions I received were about files, file ID's, numbers, names etc..and in particular PROPHET, NUMBER, WHEEL and PRESET files. Also there seems to be quite a number of questions regarding the *.* and the .* (Wild Cards). Let's take some time to review the basics of DOS. A file's name consists of 2 parts - the FILENAME followed by a "." (period) and then the EXTENSION. A file has a first name and a last name, just like people. Some files have no last name. The file's first name can be 8 characters or less. The file's last name or "EXTENSION" can be 3 characters or less. *.* - The first * refers to all or part of the file's first name. The "." (period) is the separator for the file's first and last name. The last * refers to the file's last name or the EXTENSION. PROPHET, NUMBER, WHEEL and PRESET are names that we assign to certain files as the file's first name or part of the file's first name. PROPHET.* files hold the dates and the numbers of the past drawings for a particular lottery (Example: PROPHET.21 is New York 6/54). PROPHET files with extensions of 70 and above are reserved for KENO Lotteries. PROPHET.32 is reserved for Powerball. What does PROPHET.* mean? PROPHET means that we are referring to a file which contains the past drawings. The "." (period) separates the filename from the extension. The "*" indicates that we are requesting the file's last name or extension from you. For example, for PROPHET.21 (New York Lotto) you would enter 21. 21 would be the file's extension or the ".*" PRESET.* files are created in the SUPER STATISTICAL REPORTS Section. The PRESET files contain the best picks for each individual report. (Example: a PRESET.S* would hold the numbers that appeared the most often with other numbers in that order). A PRESET.X* file could be created in the UTILITIES section containing 18 of your favorite numbers. Once again, PRESET is the file's first name. The ".*" refers to the extension. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 7 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. For example, PRESET.S21 - "PRESET " is the file's first name. The "." (period) separates the filename from the extension. The "S" stands for Numbers Appearing With Other Numbers (refer to the Super Statistical Reports Section), and the "21" stands for the New York Lotto (Prophet.21). Figure out this simple code and you've aced the whole program. NUMBER*.* files contain sets of games for the purpose of betting on the lottery. NUMBER files are created in the Keys Section, and you can build your own NUMBER file in the Utility Section. Did you notice that the NUMBER file had a *.* after it? Let's use an example to understand NUMBER files. NUMBER21.BOB - "NUMBER" is part of the file's first name which we gave to the file. "21" stands for PROPHET.21 (New York Lotto) the "." separates the file's first name from the extension and "BOB" is the extension. Why BOB? The extension is whatever YOU give it. You can call it BOB or HOT or ABC. It should be something that you will remember. POP Quiz !!!!! What would the above NUMBER file be called if you were using Florida Lotto, (Prophet.28) ? answer: NUMBER28.BOB Get It? Answer: NUMBER28.BOB NUMBER*.* - The first star indicates that "NUMBER" is not the complete first name, there is more to it. The period separates the file's name from the extension and the last * is referring to the extension. To make it as easy as we can, we will try to put notes throughout the manual and give a lot of examples. Most of the notes are preceded with "**'s". LOTTO PROPHET has the ability to house the PROPHET, NUMBERS and PRESET files for 80 lotteries all at the same time. To assist you in keeping track of these files, you can get a instant file directory listing, at almost any prompt that requests you input a file ID, just by entering 'DIR' <enter>. NOTE: We will try to use the term GAME or GAMES throughout this documentation to describe the minimum amount of numbers that it takes to buy 1 lottery ticket. (Example: IN MOST STATES YOU WOULD PICK 6 NUMBERS (1 GAME) TO PLACE ONE BET). (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 8 All Rights Reserved Worldwide.

The File Control Section controls: a. The lottery history files by allowing updating, editing, reviewing and printing all the past 100 numbers. b. The creation of new lottery files. c. The deletion of unwanted files. 2. The Statistical Section produces reports based upon numbers such as: a. The numbers that have appeared the most during all the lottery drawings, or for any specific number of weeks or drawings. (Hot numbers) b. Numbers appearing with other numbers tells you how many times any 1 number appeared with another number and how many times any individual number has appeared. c. The numbers that have appeared the most in any specific month. d. Power/Due numbers that have appeared an above average amount of times but have not appeared recently. e. The numbers that are historically the most likely to follow the numbers selected in the last drawing. 3. The Holdum/Checkum Section controls the actual playing of lotteries by storing selected numbers & checking them against the winning number. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 9 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. 4. The Prognosticator selects the lottery numbers for you using the randomizer that can be seeded using an extract from your name. The numbers selected can be restricted to the 18 highest rated numbers in any of the 7 PRESET files created in the Super Statistical Section. 5. CFG configures the Prognosticator - allows for random opinions and messages, lets you limit the amount of Preset numbers to use. 6. KEYS is an advanced, scientific wheeling system. 7. STATE OF THE LOTTERY- An in-depth report & analysis on current winning numbers. It searches the history of the lottery you select and prints reports showing how many times 3 or 4 numbers have appeared together. Prints Repeat Numbers and Skip/Hit Chart. 8. UTILITY will build a NUMBER or PRESET file, merge NUMBER files, color and password control, test the program's randomizer and set the system mouse speed. MOST IMPORTANTLY: the Utility Section will allow you to switch between lotteries. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 10 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. CHAPTER II GETTING STARTED 1.

To turn the color on, go to the Utility Section and select TURN COLOR ON. The most commonly asked question for new users is "Where do I start first?" This is the route I recommend..... First go to the File Control Section and select CREATE, CHANGE OR DELETE a Lottery. Refer to the File Control Section of this manual on how to create your lottery. Next, begin adding past data using the first selection in File Control (at least 15 past drawings). Then print out the history of your lottery. Then go to the Super Statistical Reports and run all of the reports. Next go to the CFG Menu and customize the Prognosticator, if you wish. Then you can go to the Prognosticator and have it give you picks based on the results of the Super Stats. I would then run the State of the Lottery reports. Compare them to the history of the lottery. Many of our customers tell us of interesting patterns they find. Next use Holdum/Checkum and store some games. After you've had a chance to get to know the program, I would then advance to the KEYS Section to study the wheeling systems. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc.

(C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 18 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. Mean and Median Averages - One of the most commonly asked question is "What is a Median Average?" Median refers to the "middle". The calculation of a Median average is based on the middle, unlike the more commonly used Mean Average. The SUM is calculated by adding up all of the numbers drawn. In Record number 10 (above) the numbers 01 09 20 30 31 47 were drawn. 01 + 09 + 20 + 30 + 31 + 47 = 138 Lotto Prophet provides the numbers that have repeated from the previous drawing. To obtain a summary report of Repeat Numbers, please run the REPEAT NUMBERS report from the State of the Lottery Menu.

It begins with the number one and continues to the highest number drawn in that particular lottery. You may scroll the chart using the arrow keys. To QUIT hit 'Q'. If you want to know how many times the number 9 has appeared with the number 8, just move your finger from the number 9 on the left until it meets with the number 8 on the top. Based on the above report the number 9 has appeared with the number 8 Two (2) times. If you match the number 17 from the left to the number 17 from the top, you will see how many times the number 17 has appeared. To move around the chart, just use your LEFT, RIGHT, UP & DOWN arrow keys. Due to the enormous amount of page space this report takes, it will not print properly on most printers, especially if you play Keno (1 to 80). The only feasible way to print this report is to simply hit the PRINT SCREEN key, then tape the report together. We know this is tedious, but if you have any ideas of a way it will work for everyone, please let us know. This report will automatically produce a Preset.S* file.

To the left are the drawing dates. Notice that the dates are all in November. That is because in our example we used the Illinois Lotto (Prophet.12) for the month of November. The H's stand for Hits. Once again, we are looking for a pattern. If your lottery draws a bonus number, then a B would appear on the chart where the bonus number was drawn. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc.

MOST LIKELY TO FOLLOW LAST RECORDED DRAWING This report does a in-depth evaluation of the numbers that have appeared in the last drawing testing them in all of the previous draw- ings to see which numbers have historically followed them. These number totals are then divided by the total amount of times the number has appeared. A third, not disclosed evaluation, is then used to assign a rating to the numbers. This is a slow report to generate. A typical file of say, 75 drawings would require in excess of 1,000,000 computer evaluations to produce it. ( 2 to 4 minutes.)

This report produces the Preset.W* file. HOW CAN WE USE THIS INFORMATION ? Back around the turn of the 17th CENTURY a mathematician and astronomer by the name of Galileo provided his definition on the Law of Averages, and it went something like this: "Whenever something can have more than one result, if all the possible results have an equal chance of occurring, the results that will be observed in a number of trials will generally vary to some extent from the inherent proportions, but the extent of this variation will become progressively less as the number of trials is increased." If we follow Galileo's advice, we will select specific NNNNNnumbers that are on a hot streak for short periods of time only, and in the long run look for numbers that have been drawn the least to catch up. EXAMPLES: After 117 drawings of the New York Cash40 there had been 351 odd and 351 even numbers drawn. In stretch of 81 drawings of the Iowa Lotto there were 243 odd and 243 even numbers drawn, but in the previous 21 drawings there were 56 odd and 70 even numbers drawn. The 'evens' must have had to do some catching up. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 32 All Rights Reserved Worldwide.

The Rotation Speed sets a delay in how fast or slow the Prognositcator's will pick numbers. If you set the Rotation Speed to 1, the numbers will appear quickly. If you set it to 99, the numbers will slowly scroll. This feature is available solely for entertainment. b. Do you want random Prophet Opinions? If you select Y for YES, the Prognosticator will display different entertaining messages. If you select N for NO, the same opinion "THE VERY BEST PICKS FROM THE PROGNOSTICATOR", will appear every time. c. Messages are fun for printed cards, although the Prognosticator will run faster without them. Select Y if you want the various messages printed. Select N if you do not want messages printed. e. You can limit the amount of PRESET numbers for which the Prognosticator will use to give you picks. The Preset files are created when running the STATISTICAL REPORTS. They contain 18 of the best numbers for the related report. By limiting the amount of PRESET numbers, you will not alter the PRESET file in any way. If you limit the amount of PRESET numbers to 12, the Prognosticator will select from the first 12 numbers, NOT cut the last 6 numbers out of the PRESET file. f. You may select a specific amount of odd or even numbers. If you type in "Y", you will be asked the amount of odd numbers you want. Answering this question will, of course, determine the amount of even numbers to be picked. THIS WILL ONLY WORK BY FATE (#8 in the Prognosticator). NOTE: If you hit the <enter> key when answering any of the questions in the CFG section, the program is written to provide default values or answers to all of the questions. In other words, it's okay if you don't answer the questions, just hit <enter> and we will answer them for you. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 33 All Rights Reserved Worldwide.

ESC <-- To quit or Enter choice 1 - 8 ? ___________________________________________________________________ PROGNOSTICATOR The Prognosticator will select numbers for you one game at a time using the randomizer that can be seeded using an algorithm based on a numeric conversion of the letters in your name. When Selecting #8, these numbers are based strictly on fate, using all the numbers available in the lottery, with no pseudo manipulation. They will be scrolled in random locations in the display screen. In the above description of the prognosticator's menu you will notice that the number selections can also be limited to the highest rated numbers in any of 7 different categories. The 7 categories just mentioned refer to the PRESET files created in the Super Statistical Reports Section. For more information on PRESET files, please re-read page 6 and refer to the chapter on Super Statistical Reports. No numbers outside of these pre-selected numbers will be picked. 1 = Hot numbers uses the 18 highest rated numbers in the Preset.U* file. 2 = Numbers looking to catch up (Overdue) numbers uses the 18 lowest rated numbers in the PRESET.U* file. 3 = Favorite number uses the 17 highest rated numbers in the PRESET.S* file plus the favorite number which you will be asked to enter. 4 = Power/Due numbers uses the 18 highest rated numbers in the PRESET.V* file. 5 = Numbers most likely, uses the 18 highest numbers rated in the PRESET.W* file. 6 = Numbers appearing in month of, uses the 18 most drawn numbers as listed in the PRESET.T* file. (In the above menu, NOVEMBER had been selected. If no PRESET.W* file had existed for this particular lottery the message NOT/AVAIL would appear instead of AUGUST) 7= Uses the 18 numbers in the PRESET.X** file. The PRESET.X** file is a combination of your own favorite 18 numbers. This file can be created in the Utility Section. Please refer to Page 47 for more informations on creating the PRESET.X* file. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 34 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. NOTE: If any number is selected that requires a Preset file and none exists, the Prognosticator prompts you to create the file, and then proceeds to randomize by fate alone. To create the Preset file you must run the related Super Statistical Report. To create the PRESET.X** file, go to the Utility Menu and select "Create the PRESET X file" RUNNING THE PROGNOSTICATOR a. To request some games, position the cursor to the Prognosticator position on the Main Menu and hit 'ENTER'. b. Select the game you want to play 1 - 8. The Prognosticator will allow you to exit this section of the program by hitting the <esc> key or press the right mouse button. c. You are then asked to enter your name to provide a random seed for the randomizer, or you can just hit 'ENTER' and the Prognosticator provides the seed. Although a numeric derivative of your name would effect the output from the Prognosticator selections, even if you do not provide it, the numbers are still randomized. d. The next screen displays a list of the astrological signs with their related dates. You are asked to enter your sign to provide the seed in selecting a random opinion of the numbers. Again, you can just hit 'ENTER' without a sign selection. You do not have to provide your name or your sign for the program to run correctly. Prognosticator handles the single digit picks (3/4 picks 0 to 9 daily numbers) by selecting T for Pick 3 or F for Pick 4, or place the mouse cursor on the T or F and press the left mouse button. When selecting a Pick 3 or 4 the single digits are displayed in the order in which they were selected on the lower left side of the screen and are not sorted before they are printed on the Prophet Cards. ** Please note that Pick 3 and 4 games are by fate alone. You CANNOT store Pick 3 or 4 historical data in the File Control nor can you run Statistical Reports on Pick 3 & Pick 4. Separate Pick 3 and Pick 4 programs are available. Please contact DataMicro, Inc. for information. Each time the Prognosticator is run the game is stored in a hold area which can hold 6 games. If the prognosticator is run more than 6 times only the last 6 are stored. These numbers will be made available to the Holdum/Checkum section to be placed into storage, if requested before the program ends the current session. The numbers are lost if not stored before the program returns to DOS. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 35 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. PROPHET CARDS: 1. After the numbers and opinion have been scrolled on the screen you are prompted to print them, <Y>es or <N>o. 2. If you answer <N>o, the LOTTO PROPHET provides you the opportunity to obtain more numbers for the same name and sign without requiring you to re-enter them. 3. If you answer <Y>es, the program has been designed to print the reports on continuous form 3 X 5 card stock called "Prophet Cards". It is also designed so that once the paper has been set to the top of the form, no further adjustment is required when changing between the reports that use the cards. 4. The information contained on the Prophet Cards is in a format suitable for selling or giving away. They contain complete information on the report (Example: the state, the opinion, the numbers, date prepared, and good luck messages, etc.). 5. The printed reports look much better if printed with a printer capable of wide print such as a dot matrix printer. The reports can be printed on standard paper but look much better on 3 X 5 cards. These cards are available in colors from most office supply stores. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 36 All Rights Reserved Worldwide.

Next are the 10 hottest numbers and below it are the 10 coldest numbers. We, then, display the most current drawing and its related information. At a glance you will have the report of ending digits, average sum of digits, Group totals, odd & even report and the odds of winning a 6 out of 6 for your lottery. ** Odds for KENO are not yet available.

This report should be read from right to left. Let's look at the number 1.

The LOTTO PROPHET not only holds 5/6 lotto picks but also handles DAILY 3/4 PICKS and KENO type 10 PICKS. The way the numbers are handled is decided by how large the largest number can be. (Example, if the largest number is 9, we must assume that the number selection is a single digit selection and that numbers may be duplicated within the selection). Above 9 numbers must be double digit with none duplicated. The Holdum/Checkum (hereafter referred to as H/C) can hold a total of 144 lottery selections broken down as follows: 3 Independent Lotteries 8 Players for each lottery 6 Scores for each player All 3 lottery slots could be used for the same lottery and have 24 players in it. If a player needed more than 6 picks, he would just use two or more player slots. a. Main H/C menu: 1. First to be displayed are the names of three state or other lotteries, or a 'not yet assigned' flag if the file has not yet been selected. Use your arrow keys or mouse to make a selection. If the desired lottery is not yet selected or to change a file to 'not yet assigned' status, select "Change, Assign or Delete a Lotto" (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 42 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. C A U T I O N ! ! After selecting "Change, Assign or Delete a Lotto" and then selecting one of the first 3 options, the message indicating to use the word 'Clear' to clear the record will appear. Using 'clear' removes all of the players and their scores from the selected lottery. Entering a name changes the lottery name but leaves the players and their scores as they were. 2. Two of the questions that are asked during lottery assignment is amount of numbers you will be selecting and the amount of numbers to be drawn. The reason for these two questions is that some states are now playing a Pick 10 Keno type game where the player picks up to ten numbers and the state draws 20 numbers from l to 80, etc. b. The Player menu: After selecting lottery that you want, a list of 8 player positions appears with the Player Menu below it asking: Assign a player to a number Delete a player and scores Check a player's scores Enter a players new picks Print all players and scores Return to Main You may use your arrow keys to make a selection or place the mouse cursor on your selection and press the left mouse button. As you can see they are mostly self explanatory. After making any of the first 4 selections, you are asked to select players #1 thru #8. 1. If you selected Assign, you are asked to enter the player's name in 15 characters or less. After entering the player's name the program returns to the Player menu. 2. If you select Delete, the player's name is replaced with the word UNASSIGNED and the player's associated scores are blanked. You are then returned to the Player's menu. 3. If you select Enter a player's new picks, a line of numbers (1 - 6) appears on the screen representing the 6 available slots for that player's picks. When storing a number you need not start at 1, but may store numbers in any available spot. You are asked to pick the location number or hit 'ESC' to return to the Main Menu Upon entering the line selection, a new message appears indicating how many numbers to select (Example: select 6 numbers from 1 to 40). (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 43 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. 4. If the Prognosticator had previously been asked to select any numbers for this lottery, the numbers appear and the input message indicates that you may enter numbers now or just enter 'P' to use the LOTTO PROPHET's numbers. Either way they are stored in the selected location on the disk with today's date associated with it until the number is erased. The program recycles after entering the number allowing you to enter additional scores for that player until you enter 'ESC' to return to Menu. 5. If you select Check a Player's Scores, a message appears on the right side of the screen indicating for you to enter the digits now, equaling the numbers selected by the lottery. (Example, in a PICK 3 the request is for 3 digits; in a PICK 6 the request is for 12 digits, since a 4 is entered as 04). After entering the scores the LOTTO PROPHET asks if you want a copy of the printed results <Y>es or <N>o. This can be used to provide a copy of the results to others when the LOTTO PROPHET is used for group play. The program asks which Player's Scores to check and displays all his scores. If the lottery is a PICK 4, the program compares the drawing with the stored selection for an exact match. If there is no match, the word 'ZIP' appears by it. If it matches, the words 'YOU WIN' appear. If the lottery is a PICK 3, you are asked if the player's numbers are boxed 6 ways. If you answer (Y)es, the program compares the 3 picks in any way they can be arranged against the 3 pick drawing. The same message as with the PICK 4 appears. If the lottery is a LOTTO 5 - 6 - 10 pick, etc., the numbers are compared the same as the PICK 4 but the message next to the number is '(number matching) out of (number picked)' (Example: 3 out of 6) indicating the number of matching numbers. After the program has completed comparing the first player's numbers, you receive the message 'Hit 'ESC' for Menu or 'ENTER' to continue to check the rest of the players assigned to that lottery. 6. If you select Print all players and scores, all 8 player positions are printed two abreast on one page of paper. Again, this is used primarily to provide a copy of all scores when the program is used for group play. All in all the program works well for one person who just wants to manage his lottery numbers, but it is even better for a group of friends who like to pool their money to get a lot of numbers. The number of players that may be managed can be increased by loading another copy of the program to a sub-directory. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc.

BUILD OR ADD TO A NUMBER*.* FILE - As we learned in the beginning of the manual, a NUMBER file contains sets of games or tickets to play. Many lottery players have sets of their own games which they play every single week. This is where you could store these games. Another use for Build or Add to a NUMBER File would be if you had an existing NUMBER file and wanted to add some of your own picks to the NUMBER file. Below is an example on how to build or add to a NUMBER*.* file: ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║Enter the ID of the NUMBER32.?

You are asked to enter the ID of the NUMBER*.* file ? Lotto Prophet will use the PROPHET file already configured in the SET Menu to identify the first part of the NUMBER*.* file to be created. (The example above makes note to PROPHET.32). The ID of the NUMBER file would be the file extension (the file's last name, remember?). For example, do you see the list of NUMBER files above? The very first one is NUMBER32.LIZ. The ID for this NUMBER file is LIZ. If you enter an ID that does not exist, you are asked if you want to create a new file. If you answer <Y>es, you are asked to enter the numbers with no spaces, no dashes, no slashes and a 0 in front of single digits. After you have entered 1 game, hit <enter>, the program will prompt you to enter the next set.

It will only add the games from the second file to the first. TURN COLOR ON or OFF - When you first receive your program, color will be turned off. To turn it on just click on TURN COLOR ON or using the arrow keys, select TURN COLOR ON and hit <enter>. Lotto Prophet can be set with color ON if you are using CGA, EGA or VGA. Lotto Prophet can be set with color OFF if you are monochrome. NOTE: IF YOU ARE USING HERCULES GRAPHICS YOU MUST TURN COLOR OFF!!. PASSWORD CONTROL - If you are not running under password control and want to start using using it, select Change Password Control from this menu. Password will initialize upon re-starting Lotto Prophet. The next time you start the program, you are asked to ENTER A NEW PASSWORD (6 characters). NOTE: THE PASSWORD MUST BE A TOTAL OF 6 CHARACTERS. You may use spaces as part of your password for it to total 6 characters. You are then asked if you want to run under password control. If you answer 'no', the program will not ask for the password during startup and the only one that can turn on the password control is the one who knows the original password. If you answer 'yes' to password control, you are prompted for a password or 'change' of password during normal program execution. If you answer that you wish to 'change' the password, the program prompts for the old password and then tells you to enter the new password, and asks if you want to continue with password control. Your options are (Y)es or (N)o. If you forget your password, type in TESTER. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 47 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. PLEASE ! ! MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM DISK AND THEN STORE THE ORIGINAL WITH THE WRITE PROTECT TAB INSTALLED. BUILD THE PRESET.X* FILE - The PRESET.X* feature was added to Lotto Prophet as a means for you to store your own favorite set of 18 numbers into a file and have the Prognosticator choose from them. If Lotto Prophet was SET for PROPHET.28 (Florida Lotto), then you would be creating the file called PRESET.X28. The program will ask you to "Enter number 1 = ___?" It is looking for the first number for the PRESET file. You may enter your most favorite number and hit <enter>. It will then prompt you to enter a 2nd number, and so on. You MUST enter 18 numbers. PRESET.X28 for the PROPHET.28 lottery Enter number 1 = ? 16 Enter number 2 = ? 05 Enter number 3 = ? 23 Enter number 4 = ? 12 Enter number 5 = ? 25 ...... and so on, until you reach 18 numbers. Now you can go to the Prognosticator and have it obtain picks based on the file you just built. BACK UP FILES - Lotto Prophet gives you the opportunity to backup your PROPHET and NUMBER files to a blank formatted disk in either drive A or drive B. ENTER DRIVE TO SEND THE BACKUP (A or B) ** Enter A or B P>rophet, N>umbers or A>ll ? ** Enter P to backup PROPHET files only. Enter N to backup NUMBER files only. Enter A to backup both PROPHET and NUMBER files. SET THE MOUSE SPEED - We set the speed of the mouse by increasing a delay in the movement and response of both the mouse and the keyboard. The mouse speed can be set from 300 to 3000. 3000 is the slowest speed because it is the size of the delay. The longer the delay, the slower the response. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 48 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. If you find that the keyboard is responding very slowly, then decrease the mouse speed. If your mouse is jumping or if the program is translating one mouse click as 2 mouse clicks, then increase the mouse speed. TEST THE SYSTEMS RANDOMIZER - The Randomizer test can perform a test of your computer's randomizing capability and give you a good visual report on how it did. After selecting to test the randomizer, you are asked to enter the range of the randomizing from 2 to 99. Next you are asked to 'Enter the amount of random numbers to test from 1 to 1 million.' The progress of the selection is displayed in increments of 1000 to let you track the amount of numbers selected. At any time during the test you can quit, by hitting 'Q' and the results to that point are displayed. Following is a typical display of the randomizer test using only 5000 numbers from 1 to 48 ! ! ***************************************************************** ENTER HIGHEST RANDOM NUMBER TO SELECT ? 48 SET FROM 2 to 99 ENTER AMOUNT OF RANDOM NUMBERS TO TEST ? 5000 SET FROM 1 TO 1000000 ! ! 5000 RANDOM NUMBERS FROM 1 TO 48 WERE SELECTED AS FOLLOWS ! 1 -=- 89 2 -=- 122 3 -=- 95 4 -=- 99 5 -=- 112 6 -=- 115 7 -=- 99 8 -=- 100 9 -=- 127 10 -=- 102 11 -=- 122 12 -=- 87 13 -=- 110 14 -=- 110 15 -=- 101 16 -=- 94 17 -=- 94 18 -=- 108 19 -=- 104 20 -=- 114 21 -=- 100 22 -=- 114 23 -=- 89 24 -=- 109 25 -=- 105 26 -=- 89 27 -=- 114 28 -=- 94 29 -=- 108 30 -=- 97 31 -=- 93 32 -=- 117 33 -=- 103 34 -=- 80 35 -=- 112 36 -=- 94 37 -=- 112 38 -=- 105 39 -=- 114 40 -=- 115 41 -=- 112 42 -=- 93 43 -=- 107 44 -=- 122 45 -=- 100 46 -=- 90 47 -=- 105 48 -=- 103 The menu states that you can ask for up to 1 million random numbers to be generated, but actually you can request 99 million or more, if you want to wait 6.18 days for the results.

CHAPTER IX K E Y S DataMicro's Wheeling Algorithms Before we start learning about KEYS, let's talk a little on Wheeling systems in general, what they are, the Pros and Cons. Wheeling systems are a scientific method of using a set of well defined rules to accomplish some specific result. (Example: If we select all our numbers from within a certain group of say, 12 numbers, and we play 6 games, we want to align them in such a way so that if 6 numbers drawn fall within our group of 12 numbers we want to get at least a 4 out of 6 hit. (WHEEL#.Z8)). Wheels do not decrease your normal odds of winning LOTTO. (6 out of 6) Well designed wheels actually increase your chance of cashing a winning ticket, in some cases 500% or more, over selecting the same amount of games played randomly. At the same time the same wheeling system decreases and in some cases eliminates your chance of getting any more than one 4 out of 6 or 5 out of 6 hit on any wheeling group. Generally random game selection lends itself to playing less games than the wheeling systems. So it's up to you to decide if wheeling systems are for you. When we speak of RANDOM GAMES in this situation we are talking of playing sets of numbers that have no relation, one set to another. We are not talking about the program randomizer. I personally believe that using selective wheeling systems, along with the information available in the LOTTO PROPHET to select the field numbers, is the very best way to end up winning some money in the lotteries. Approximately 70 wheeling algorithms are included with this program Besides the routines included, this program also has the ability to import other wheels using the information from any other wheeling system of up to 50 numbers and 1000 games. If you want to learn more about them, and to add more permanent wheels to this system, there are some excellent books on the market that include hundreds of wheeling systems and talk in depth on the routines. W H E E L I N G S Y S T E M S ARE DESIGNED TO KEEP UP YOUR CASH FLOW WHILE WAITING ON THE BIG HIT Definition of terms WHEELING SYSTEMS or WHEELS, are nothing more than disk files which contain the format of the WHEEL. FIELDS refer to the amount of individual numbers used by the WHEEL to fill out each game. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 51 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. GAMES, SETS, COMBINATIONS or TICKETS are all interchangeable names, I played 1 game or I bought 1 ticket etc. It is the minimum level of investment in a lotto. KEYS, KEY NUMBER or PERMANENT NUMBER are all interchangeable names for one or more numbers that will appear in every single game. When using a KEY NUMBER, the KEY number must be one of the numbers drawn to be assured of a winning wheel. WHEELS in GENERAL - Each wheel is kept in an individual disk file by the name of WHEEL#.* . The WHEELS which came with your program all have a Z as the first letter in the extension. (Example: WHEEL#.Z1, WHEEL#.Z17) HOW DO WHEELS WORK? - The information below is NOT necessary to know before using our wheeling systems. Those of you who love math, keep reading. Those who don't can skip over to the "KEYS Main Menu". If you were to play Z8, which is a 6 game wheel that uses 12 different numbers of your choice, the wheel guarantees a minimum of a 3rd Prize, if the 6 numbers drawn all fall in the field of 12 numbers you selected. How does this work? Let's look at how that works. First, I display the numbers in WHEEL#.Z8 file and label the number sets (masks) in the file for reference purposes. mask 1 mask 2 mask 3 mask 4 mask 5 mask 6 01 01 01 02 02 07 02 04 04 03 03 08 03 05 05 06 06 09 04 07 10 07 10 10 05 08 11 08 11 11 06 09 12 09 12 12 Now let's assume you wanted to use your favorite 12 numbers, (Example: 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, and 34). KEYS would align your 12 numbers into 6 games or sets as so. (Mark your cards with these games.) game 1 game 2 game 3 game 4 game 5 game 6 12 12 12 14 14 24 14 18 18 16 16 26 16 20 20 22 22 28 18 24 30 24 30 30 20 26 32 26 32 32 22 28 34 28 34 34 (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 52 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. To further explain what we did, let's align the 3rd column together. 3rd wheel mask 3rd game 01 = 1st field number is 12 04 = 4th " 18 05 = 5th " 20 10 = 10th " 30 11 = 11th " 32 12 = 12th " 34 Try to think of the numbers in a wheel mask as an address of the actual number you want to use in your game. In mask 3 above the last number 12 is the address if the 12th number in your field (Example: 34 is the 12th number in the field). You do not have to understand how these work to use the wheels but it should make it more enjoyable. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 53 All Rights Reserved Worldwide.

NOTE: When using Pick 6 lotteries, do NOT use Pick 5 Wheels. Powerball must be used as a Pick 5 lottery. The logic for wheels does not allow for duplicate numbers within a game. THE MAGNUM WHEELER- The Magnum Wheeler produces "true" wheels. In other words you can obtain EVERY possible combination of a group of numbers either consecutively or selectively. For example, you can wheel the numbers 1 through 10 and obtain every combination or you can specify which 10 numbers you want wheeled by manually imputing the numbers or you can request to use an existing PRESET file. Below is what you will see on your screen. Select Pure Wheels for <4>, <5>, <6>, <7>, <8>, <9> or <10> or <Q>uit> ** You may select from a Pick 4 to a Pick 10 wheel or hit 'Q' to quit.

ENTER THE AMOUNT OF FIELD NUMBERS FOR THE TRUE WHEEL ** If you would like every combination of 10 numbers, then enter the number 10.

DO YOU WANT TO USE RANGE OF SUMS Y>es or N>o ** A range of sums is calculated by adding all of the numbers on one game.

ENTER PRESET FILE ID# ** Since we are working with PROPHET.18 (Mass Megabucks), let's use the HOT Numbers results for this wheel. The PRESET file ID# would be U18.

BUILD OR EDIT A WHEEL FILE - Please do not use this portion of the program if you do not fully understand wheels. There can be a big misunderstanding about building wheels. The definition as we use it in this program means to import an existing wheeling system from a book and to load those number masks into this system. It does NOT mean that you give this program some information and the program will figure out a wheel based upon your data. To edit means to correct any mistakes you made in typing in the numbers. It does not mean that you can change the wheels that came with the program to suit your budget. (C) Copyright 1987 - 1995 by DataMicro, Inc. Page 59 All Rights Reserved Worldwide. ** A common Lotto Prophet tech support call: Hello, I would like to create a wheel that takes 23 field numbers, plays 10 games and gives me a 6 out of 6 guarantee. Answer: In your dreams. If you remember the example used in the Magnum Wheeler, we used a field of only 10 numbers. It produced 210 games. That is how many you have to play to guarantee a 6 out of 6. If you want a 6 out of 6 guarantee using 23 field numbers, then you must purchase 100,947 tickets. These examples are referring to a pick 6 lottery. When importing a wheel, the first question asked is to ENTER AN ID# FOR THE WHEEL. You are being asked for an extension, up to 3 characters. ** Your wheel cannot begin with a Z. The following questions follow: No file WHEEL#.* do you want to build one <Y>es or <N>o ? Enter the number of games or sets ? Enter the size of the field of numbers ? Enter the number of KEY or constant numbers each game ? Enter the amount of correct hits you want guaranteed ? Enter the amount that must fall in field to provide guarantee ? ENTER NUMBERS, no spaces, zeros in front of single digits 010322333641 etc. Type QUIT to exit to the KEYS Main menu. After you have entered the numbers, you are asked if you want to add the wheel to the list found in "Select from Available Wheels". If you make a mistake, continue on; you can recall the wheel later on and make your corrections. Do not add the wheel to the list more than once or it will appear multiple times. It will not hurt anything; it just looks ugly. Editing a Wheel File When requesting to 'Build or edit a wheel file' from the KEYS Main menu, you are asked to enter the extension for WHEEL#.* file. If the WHEEL#.* file exists, the components of the file are displayed for you to review, and edit if necessary. The following prompts appear in the example of using WHEEL#.XX2 file: ENTER EXTENSION FOR WHEEL# FILE ? XX2 GAMES TO PLAY = 6 FIELD OF NUMBERS = 12 NUMBER OF KEY OR FIXED NUMBERS = 0 GUARANTEED AMOUNT OF NUMBERS = 6 AMOUNT OF NUMBERS THAT MUST FALL IN FIELD = 6 IF YOU ARE GOING TO ADD OR DELETE GAMES MAKE CHANGES HERE, NOW !
