'Lottomizer' Software Opinions?

[retepsnikrep]

Dear Group Members

I've just joined this group as I am canvasing opinion on my old dos UK 6/49 program called 'Lottomizer' Some of you will have seen and tried it before. I have considered updating it with a complete re-write from scratch, but I need to know if members think it worth the effort.

It's freeware and you can download it here, it's a minscule 12kb! It runs fine under most versions of Windows in a DOS box.

So my questions are.

1) Does my program have anything to contribute via it's optimising algorithm?

2) It is worth me re-writing it to allow it to deal with pick 4,5,6,7 ball from ,35,40,45,49,60 type lotteries and give it a worldwide appeal?

Thanks in advance for any comments. I hope you find it interesting if you haven't seen it before.

Regards Peter

No Interest?

Oh well, I'll leave it on the back burner for now.

If anyone's interested here is a 49 ticket sequence generated by 'Lottomizer' in about 3 hours on my 2ghz PC.

It uses each number 1 thru 49 six times. You will note that where any given number occurs in the tickets, the numbers with it in that ticket, are always different to the numbers with it in any other ticket! That's what 'Lottomizer' is all about.
