Brad .. first let me say thanks for you choosing "to err on the safe side of the rules"
And your sugestion is an excellent one .. to make the rules more clear. I wil place them into the registration form and the faq.
Your mentioning of the free LotWin program is excellent! That is a real gem of a deal!
The links that you have posted must be out of date or are not working today but I have located the following <<note>> on this program that I had posted on the old board last summer and that link still works:
<< If you are a lottery software junkie like I am you're going to love this....
Most of us are familiar with the LotWin lottery line analyser program but most lotto players
will not have this excellent tool in their arsonal of lottery analysis software collections because LotWin always has been and still is the most expensive product on the market.
Well the good news is that the Lotwin people at futuresoft are offerring a FREE version of LotWin Lite!!! (has nearly all the features for a 6/49 game). The bad news (for Canadians anyhow) is that the free version only come set up for the UK 6/49 Well as most lotto computer player are of the obsessive compulsive type, we know that a database can be changed (even if it is painstakingly done line by line) from UK data to Canadian data.
To get the free version go here:
http://www.futuresoft.co.uk/lottery/ to find-
"- LOTWIN LITE for 6/49 Lotteries is now FREE - Email us for your FREE copy and tell us the 6/49 lottery you play."
Email futuresoft the info re what lottery you play and they will email back with the download instructions. >>
I made a Canadian 649 data base for it - only a few hundred draws and now not up to date but it will say some data input time, and I'll put a copy up for download. This really is a good program and well worth checking out for free. It takes ALL of the 13 million plus 649 combos and then you filter the heck out of them in every possible way to come up with your final plays.
Maybe what would be useful is if I posted a thread with all the good free stuff like this and the program that Dennis introduced to us with his databases, the jade and cover master links etc.?
Just noticed your post CM "I have an old prog on my machine called LottoWin and it's made in England I believe. My wife bought it back in Mid 90's !!" If that is the full version LotWin then your wife must love you very much
as its really expensive! I have to tell my wife that these are good things to buy for us
Anyhow .. I'll get at the rules clarification and put up the download for the national 649 soon.
Thanks guys
