Congratulations! You are holding in your hands the key to
unlocking the riches that await your play in state lotteries.
Instant riches are won by new lottery millionaires almost every
day of the week. Last year, lottery players won more than $4
billion in prizes. The next new lottery millionaire may be you!
You can increase your chances of winning by using the methods and
systems contained in this program. I have devised methods that
can win lottery prizes almost every other week. I want to show
you how you can become a winner, too.

Before I get into the good stuff about how to increase your
chances of winning lottery prizes, let me give you some thoughts
on what the lottery is all about, how it functions and what you
can expect from it.
After you have read this documentation from cover to cover, not
only will you be on your way to becoming a winner, but you will
better understand state lotteries! In Lotto number handicapping,
we analyze the past action of the winning numbers. This gives a
perspective of what is probable (or likely to happen) and what is
not probable (or unlikely to happen). From my extensive study of
several Lotto games, I have learned for instance, that it would
be highly unlikely that six consecutive numbers (such as 28-29-
30-31-32-33) would hit - because that has never happened before.
It also would be highly unlikely that all six numbers from any
previous drawing would hit again - because that has never
happened before.

And it probably never will! According to mathematical
probability, the six winning numbers of a weekly 6/40 Lotto
drawing would repeat once every 73,815 years!!! In the Lotto
drawings of just one state, each week more than 120,000 tickets
are bought with the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6. Even if these unlikely
numbers did happen to win, what do you think a million dollar
jackpot would be worth when divided among 10,000 winners? Pattern
betting is a popular method of number selection, mostly for
players who lack imagination, skill and this program! There are
people who select their numbers by position on their tickets,
marking all the numbers in a row to make a straight line, either
across or up and down. These combinations have been played on
more than 150,000 tickets for just one drawing!!

Another popular method that gets heavy play is the number
multiples, especially 5-10-15-20-25-30. Those numbers are played
on at least 25,000 tickets in each drawing. If those numbers hit
with a $3 million jackpot, each winner would receive a single
payment of $72.

The majority of Lotto players like to play the calendar numbers,
such as birthdays and anniversaries. This means that the most
heavily played numbers are 1 through 31. Most Lotto games have
40 or more numbers. If you play only the calendar numbers, you
might be sharing your first prize jackpot with 45 other winners.
I'm not saying you shouldn't play calendar numbers, if you feel
they are lucky for you.

But I would recommend that you throw in a couple of high numbers
to increase your chances. The prize payouts are always higher
when the higher numbers hit because less winners are sharing the
prize pool Most players have a tendency to bet the low numbers.
This is obvious when you see consistently low prize payouts when
four or more numbers are on the lower end of the range. Lottery
officials on television encourage players to bet their birth
dates and anniversaries (the calendar numbers). Could it be they
don't want to see the jackpot won?

THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND
Lotto numbers move in trends. A Lotto number that is in an up
trend is winning frequently. A Lotto number that is in a down
trend seldom wins. A Lotto number in an up trend can have a
series of hits - usually skipping only one, two or three games
between hits. And often a number that is hot can have two or
three hits (wins) in a row. Just how far can you expect to ride
an up trend number? In the Canadian 6/39 Lottario, number 28 had
a record 15 wins without skipping more than three games between
any hit. But don't look for this to happen often. This was a
record hot streak in that game. Number 35 had an up trend hot
streak of 13 games - twice! A realistic hot streak for an up
trend number would be about six hits before skipping more than
three games between any hit. But many numbers have seven, eight
or nine wins before taking a rest of four or more games.

ABOUT HALF OF THE WINNING NUMBERS DRAWN HAVE HAD A HIT WITHIN THE
PREVIOUS THREE GAMES!! Some Lotto numbers are still hot after
skipping up to five games without a win. ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF ALL
THE WINNING NUMBERS DRAWN HAVE HAD A HIT WITHIN THE PREVIOUS FIVE
GAMES! A few numbers can still be in an up trend even after
skipping up to ten games since the last win. ABOUT 87 PERCENT OF
ALL THE WINNING NUMBERS DRAWN HAVE HAD A HIT WITHIN THE PAST TEN
GAMES! Lotto players who casually study the numbers often get
the itch to play a long shot number that hasn't hit for 15 or 20
games just because they think it's due. But that long shot
number may be overdue after another 10 or 20 games. When a
Lotto number has been inactive for a long time, it is best to
wait until it has won at least two games in rapid succession
(that is, WITHOUT skipping more than two or three games between
the two hits) before you play it. This is a clear signal of a
trend reversal in most cases. Often a long dormant number may
have a technical correction of one hit before resuming its
downward trend. It is not uncommon for a Lotto number to not
appear for 25 games or more, hit once, and then not appear for
another 20 or 30 games. So, wait for the trend reversal to be
confirmed. Very often a number that finally hits after a long
solid losing streak of some 25 or more games, snaps back to life
with a hot streak. It may hit two games in a row or skip one or
two games between a series of several hits. If a number, after a
long dormant period, doesn't have a repeat hit within two games,
don't pursue it. Wait for a confirming up trend.

Some Lotto players have the misconception that in Lotto,
eventually all the numbers will even-out. This is not true.
For example, in New York Lotto, number 38 has been been the
first-ranked performer since 1978 - and remained the all-time
top-ranked number in 1986! The longer a Lotto game has been in
existence, the stronger are the trends and patterns that form.
This is because in probability theory the sample space of any
game of chance is the entire number of possibilities that any
event can take place. For example, if you toss a coin you get
either heads or tails. The chances of one or the other happening
is 50-50, or one in two. Its sample space has only two events.

But you can toss a coin 1,000 times and you still won't get 500
heads and 500 tails - or an evening-out. If a simple coin toss
(with only two events) cannot even-out after 1,000 tosses, think
how many eons it would take the patterns of a Lotto game - with
its MILLIONS of events - to even-out!! A 6/40 Lotto game has a
sample space of 3,838,380 events. And with only one, two or
three drawings a week, none of us will live long enough to see
the numbers or patterns in any Lotto game even-out!! Your most
important tool in handicapping Lotto numbers is a list of the
past winning numbers. The newspaper, USA TODAY, gives the winning
numbers for each state's lottery the day after the drawing. You
will find the listing on the inside back page of the Sports
Section.

CONSECUTIVE NUMBER PAIRS

Consecutive number pairs are two consecutive numbers that hit
together in one game, such as 28-29. At least two thirds of all
Pick 6 Lotto drawings contain a consecutive pair. Of those games
that have a consecutive number pair, at least one out of four
have two consecutive number pairs or a consecutive pair and a
consecutive triad, such as 33-34-35. Consecutive number triads
occur in about ten percent of the Lotto drawings. Consecutive
quads are four consecutive numbers that hit together in one
drawing. Such as 21-22-23-24. Consecutive quads are rare,
occurring once in about every 100 drawings. A consecutive quint
(five consecutive numbers) has not happened yet. So six
consecutive numbers is unthinkable! By being aware of the
probabilities, you can see that it is your advantage to play two
consecutive numbers on one game panel - but it is to your
disadvantage to play four, five or six consecutive numbers on one
game panel. Many misguided players bet a number that hasn't hit
for 17 or more games because they think it's due. Not true!
Less than four percent of the winning numbers drawn have skipped
17 or more games since a previous hit.

IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING BY 550% The Dimitrov Abbreviated
Wheeling Systems are created to get the most efficient coverage
of a group of numbers so that you get the largest possible number
of prizes for the dollars wagered. If you played six random
combinations of 12 numbers (and got all six winning numbers in
your group of 12) you would not be guaranteed of winning
anything.

Why? Because your random selection of combinations would most
likely contain one or more wasted four-number coverages, and you
would miss covering all the four-number possibilities in the
group. Let's look at the probability of winning a third prize,
which is a four-number win. When you play six numbers, you are
automatically covering 15 four-number combinations. So, if you
were to play six random games, you would be covering 90 four-
number combinations - because 6 X 15 = 90. Now, in a group of 12
numbers there are 495 four-number combinations. Using the
Dimitrov Abbreviated System #37 you can wheel 12 numbers by
playing only six six- number combinations - and you are assured
of at least one four-number win if the six winning numbers fall
within the 12. And because six wheeled combinations cover 495
four-number combinations, you have a benefit ratio of 495 to 90.
And 495 divided by 90 = 5.5. So you are covering 5.5 more
combinations by wheeling than if you just played six random
games. This is a 550 percent improvement of your odds over
random selection. So, for the same dollars you will cover up to
550% more four number combinations. At 50 cents a bet, this
Dimitrov System costs you $3. If you multiply 5.5 X $3, that $3
is worth a $16.50 bet in terms of covering four-number wins.
That's pretty heavy leverage!! So, wheeling your numbers
actually stretches your betting dollars. These concepts are true
no matter how many numbers you wheel.

Matrix Master

Lotto Master provides you with the option called matrix master
this option is a wheeling system that you can tailor.
you select the number of numbers to use and you will be shown how
many possible combinations are possible (example) one lottery has
44 numbers that have 6 draws. If you use 20 numbers there are 38,760
possible combinations. Now if you select 100 combinations Matrix
Master Displays/prints every 38,760/100=380th combination. thus your
chances of hitting all 6 are now = 1 in 380, hitting 5 of six = 1 in
2, hitting 4 of six 1 to 1

THE BEST LUCK

You will be amazed at your change in luck once you start using
the strategies contained in this program . You will win more
prizes than you ever did before and you will beat the odds. But
keep in mind that the odds in Lotto are extremely high, and you
can not expect to win every time you play. As it is often said,
the greater the reward, the higher the risk. For this reason, it
would be advisable to give yourself a Lotto budget that you feel
comfortable with. You can stretch this budget by pooling your
money with friends to share the cost - and the winnings. Or you
can play a big wheeling system once a month and skip the other
drawings in between. Or you can use the money you might have
spent (but didn't) on some other form of entertainment. If you
have a multiple prize win, you can afford to spend more on Lotto
tickets at the next drawing - such as playing two or more
wheeling systems. You may be on a hot streak!

When you don't win, stay on a self-imposed budget until you win
again. Bet with you head, not over it!!

Although this program is scientific, based on mathematical
probability, I am a great believer in playing hunches, too. If
you feel strongly about a certain number, play it!!

Introduction

System Requirements: IBM-PC with at least 256K RAM,
one single or double-sided disk drive, an 80-column display
Because of the wide variety of IBM-PC (r)
configurations and the varying levels of compatibility with PC
clones, we cannot and do not support questions concerning
support of other equipment configurations. Additional memory may
be needed if you boot under DOS 2.00.

You can obtain a hard copy of the screen at any point by
pressing the PrtSc key while holding down the <SHIFT> key.
This is also in keeping with BASIC operation.

The program Lotto Master is completely menu-driven. This means
you'll never have to guess which cryptic command the computer is
waiting for: all of your available options are displayed on the
screen. Although some folks prefer non-menu-driven programs, we
feel it is a necessary deterrent to possibly catastrophic
mistakes made by the wrong guess with this program.
Hopefully, you have restrained your impatience to get started
with the Lotto Master and have taken at least a few moments to
scan this manual. We hope that you have fun with Lotto Master
and that it earns a permanent home in your software library.
Don't forget to look over the duplication policy in Appendix A
of this manual. Whenever you are finished with a Lotto Master
program, always exit by choosing the (7) Quit function from the
main menu. The Lotto Master program changes some important
tables in memory that DOS expects to be present and correct, and
the (8) function restores them to their original values.

Option (5) STATISTICS... HIT CHART, STAT CHART

There are TWO print outs available on this option:

<< HIT Chart >>

The hit chart shows - when a number missed a week and a
# when a number hits. this chart is a visual aid and can
help you spot a trend that you or the computer may have missed.

<< Statistics chart >>

-
Times since last drawn

Is the number of draws since the number was last
drawn. A (1) in this column notes that this number
was drawn last time.

Total times drawn

Is a record of how many times that each number has
been drawn.

Mean

Mean The Mean is the Average number of draws each
number takes to come up.

-
Standard Deviation

Standard deviation is the measure defining the
extent to which draws between hits are dispersed
throughout the distribution in relation to the
arithmetic mean. or in other words the larger the
standard deviation the larger the variability of the
number of hits between draws.

# SD'S from mean

Defines the current status of each number in
relation to the mean and how many standard
deviations the current number of draws is away from
the mean. Negative numbers define numbers that are
draws below the mean and positive numbers above the
mean.

Column # 6 Median

The median is the point in the distribution at which
50% of the draws between hits fall below and 50%
fall above.

<<< Option (6) GENERATE COMPUTER PICKS >>>

During the course of the program segment for
generating computer picks you will be asked a few
questions, each of these will be covered in this
section.

PAST PERFORMANCES

(2) USE LAST TWO PERFORMANCES TO GRADE
(3) LAST THREE PERFORMANCES TO GRADE

SELECTION ?

(ENTER 2 OR 3)

Using the hit chart you will see the
differences between using the last 2 or 3 times a
number has been drawn, By counting the last three
times each number takes to come up.

(2) We add the number of draws since last drawn
and the number of draws it took to be drawn the
time before.

(3) Same as 2 but we go back one more DRAW.

The smaller the sum of the last 3, 2 or since last drawn is, the
greater the weight

USE HOT NUMBERS (H)
USE STATISTICS ONLY (S)
USE BOTH ABOVE (B)

SELECTION ?

ENTRY (H)

Hot numbers are evaluated against each other on there past performance
a vary hot number would be one that has hit 2 times in the past two weeks
if you select last two performances or 3 times in the past three weeks
any number taking more weeks to hit 2 or 3 times will be cooler and will
be reflected in the next display.

ENTRY (S)

This entry uses Statistics to determine when number is most likely to hit
and grades all numbers on there probabilitys.

-
ENTRY (B)

This Combines both (H) and (S) options for a combined score.

After selecting how you want the computer to evaluate the numbers
you will be shown how each number compares to each other. this display
shows that 18 is the top number followed by 32 the 10th number down from
18 is 23 and the worst number is 4.

18 39 20 34 37 5

Entry (M)

After looking over the stat sheet and hit chart you may decide that
number 4 is going to hit. or maybe 37 is a lucky number for you.

NUMBER TO MOVE (0) IF FINISHED

MOVING # OLD POSITION=44 if you entered # 4

NEW POSITION ? Here you can move #4 to # 3 position by entering 3

Note: We have found in the past that there are usually only 4 of the
hottest numbers in the top 12-15 so you may want to move 2 or more cold
numbers to the top.

Entry (I)

Some times the lottery numbers come up all cold as far as the computer is
concerned. We call this a backfill week where numbers that have not hit
lately come up. If you can spot a trend before the computer use the (I)
- option to swap hot for cold numbers

Entry (R)

If you want to go back and use stats to grade the numbers instead of hot
numbers use this option

Entry (G)

Appendix A

After many requests to develop a lottery program we
decided to go ahead with a preliminary study of
lottery number systems. After determining that the
pattern for some lotteries could be analyzed to
give a better than random chance, we fell to the
task with vigor. Many thousands of hours later
Lotto Master emerged.

We encourage you to copy the demo program only

Lotto Master is fun, easy to use and improves your
odds in most lotteries. with Lotto Master you can
keep past history data on any number of lotteries.
From this data Lotto Master can generate statistics
tables, frequency charts, total occurrence plots and
generate computer picks based on past performance
data.

Using Lotto Master you can improve your odds of
winning 550% over random odds.
