A newbie, not quite

[Frank]

Hi,

I'm a newbie in this forum, but I'm no stranger to Lottery analysis and to Lotto forums, I've been around in lottery forums for 16 years especially in the UK. I do recognise a few members here who I used to chat to in UK forums. I do notice that GillesD, a fellow Excel lover, has not posted here for 18 months and that saddens me. Nick Koutras hasn't posted for years. Should I be concerned ?

hello Frank, welcomenice...hmmm, perhaps they all finally won big and forgot all about the lottery forums?

you are right, good ol GillesD is the lotto spreadsheet master...and Nick was the wheel guru eh?

cheers!

Hi Blitzed, Yes GillesD and I were chatting about Excel formulas going back as far as 1999 and his solutions were always elegant and impressive. Nick used to participate in a 16 ball UK Lotto challenge on our forum (now long gone) back in those days. He never used to say much, but he let his balls do the talking if you'll pardon the pun.
Maybe they both reached a time in their life where other priorities kick in, I'm a senior citizen myself now and have wound down a bit from the days when I'd burn the midnight oil trying to get a spreadsheet to work.
I'd like to think you are right and they've won the big one and called it a day !

Welcome aboard, Frank! Sounds like you have an impressive lotto resume. Looking forward to discussing our favourite games.

Thanks Icewynd, hopefully this site will keep my little grey cells ticking over.
