MicroLot Lotto 2000 version 4.03 : A Lottery Simulator and Analysis Program. Well it is also a number selector as well.

This program took me a while to write. It began way back in May 1996, during my final year examinations at University. I was bored in revision (oh dear) and I wrote a quick lottery program. It worked alright. After having an internet account, I thought, would it be a good idea to put it on the net, so here it is. Version 1 was released on 1st January 1997 and over the five and a bit months, over 2000 people have tried it. Version 2 and 3 has reached over 8500 downloads.

Major modifications were made, including that this program will work with a majority of lotteries around the world, not just the UK. All functions are operational in the shareware version with restricted use. Full registration via internet, e-mail or CD Rom.

UK Users : Please note. Version 4.03 now support The National Lottery Thunderball and Extra draws. (The calculating best numbers and matches will not work with Thunderball). Also note that due to the name change, anyone updating the results will see a draw name change from National Lottery Draw, to UK Lotto and Lottery Extra to Lotto Extra. Also this program is suitable for Lotto Hotpicks 2 and Hotpicks 3 selection, where it will work out the set of 2 or 3 numbers which comes out the most times. Hotpicks 4 will generate too many combinations!!

Quick summary:

• Simulator Draw (Play the lottery in the simulator, without buying a ticket). What a shame it is not the real thing
• Entering current and previous draw results, even creating new lottery database.
• Check numbers against winning in the past. The program will tell you how many you have matched.
• Set up to 5 different lotteries around the world and for quicker access (by pressing one button) switching between them.
