You can search a set of six numbers through the whole database by selecting the New button allowing you to do your six number search or you can specify the date you wish to do your search.

STATISTICS
Tracking number trends depends on your history selection which will help you make an educated choice. The number trend chart shows the Frequency, Hit Ratio, Hot, Cold, and Bonus numbers of individual numbers in the lottery. Calculations are performed on all draws in the data base up to and including the last draw, unless you change the History option in the Statistics menu. If you reduce the value of History, then calculations are performed only on the number of drawings that History is set to.

For example, if there are 200 drawings in the data base file, and History is set to 100, only the last 100 drawings will be analyzed.

View the short cycle hits according to the history of numbers you are viewing. To change the History or view past winning draws, click on the Statistics Tab and change the number of past history lines you wish to view.

View Statistics

Each draw is color coded up-to a max of six lines and you can view at any past history draws. You will view how each number was drawn by it's color. I have included the Hit Ratio and Frequency Hits according to the history of lines you searched for to help you select a nice pool of possible future draw numbers. You can double click on the number to add to the list so you can wheel these numbers according to your wheel selection.

View Match Play

How to play Match Play:

There are times I like to play this method for Lotto Max. First I buy a couple of quick picks of Lotto Max for the upcoming draw. If you look at your tickets you would probably notice that some numbers are played more than others and most likely they would not come out. If they did you would win more than once. I'm not saying that it's not likely to come out but the odds are very high.

  • Enter each line ticket to the playing board
  • After each ticket entered, it calculates each number for a match
  • Next decided which numbers to play for your wheeling selection (Hint: least hits)

Very simple! It gives an idea of what numbers not to play when selecting a proper wheel.



HIT PERFORMANCE
Summary draws shows the average and percentage of numbers within each section and how many times it came out based on the history of past draws you are viewing.

Some numbers in the lottery have appeared in a lot of different number patterns or hit performance. This chart provides information about individual numbers of performance. This is broken down by Hit Sequence, Regular Draw Hits, Last Digit Totals , Numbers on Drawn Positions and Numbers Not Drawn. These numbers are compiled accordingly to the History you are viewing.

Hit Sequence - This chart is helpful in determining which numbers to play in the next drawing by matching the number sequence against the Skip and Hit chart. You can also determine the short term trends of individual numbers and their drawing sequence. The horizontal row of numbers shows which numbers got a hit, which is indicated by H for regular winning hit and a B for the Bonus number. The top column represent the previous number draws which can be viewed to a maximum 100 past draws. The vertical numbers to the left of the chart represent the numbers in the lottery.

Pressing View from the bar menu and clicking View Hits the bottom diagram is played to show a over view performance of trend numbers on how they are doing based on the history of past draws.

  • Colour Chart Hit Performance - This chart is helpful in determining which numbers to play in the next drawing. For each number drawn a coloured box is displayed (Green=Hit and Red=Bonus). Numbers are displayed prior to hit to show how many times that number has not been active.
  • Total Hits - The bottom view displays how many times a number has been drawn according to the history of draws displayed.

GRAPH
Having a graph is really easy to see the out come of past winning draws and it also shows how many times a number has hit. The colour coded bars tells which numbers are hot or cold and which has hit recently or hit previously. This display is determined by the Hot Number Cutoff and the history you are viewing by clicking on the Statistics tab.

WHEELING SYSTEM
Did you know: That there are 13,983,816 different possible combinations in every Lotto 6/49 draw? That 6,096,454 of those combinations hold none of the winning numbers, 5,775,588 combinations hold 1 winning number, 1,851,150 combinations hold 2 winning numbers, 246,820 combinations hold 3 winning numbers, 13,545 combinations hold 4 winning numbers, 252 combinations hold 5 winning numbers, 6 combinations have 5 numbers correct plus the bonus number, and only 1 of those 6/49 combinations hold all 6 winning numbers.

The Wheeling tab option allows you to do quick picks or wheel selected numbers according to budget. Also you can customize your wheels but we recommend you do so with caution and you really have a knowledge of how it works. Changing wheels can result in poor payouts.

Wheeling Numbers:

Wheeling systems are scientific, mathematical tools. They are numerical instruments which allow you to give your money more leverage and dramatically improve your odds over random selection. They are truly a mathematical breakthrough for the Lotto player! Wheeling systems are an absolute must for all serious Lotto players!!

Choose a wheeling option

example:

If you where to wheel seven (7) numbers, playing every possible combination of six numbers, you would have to play seven game panels because one added number can be combines with all six numbers exactly seven times, as seen in the columns below.

1 1 1 1 1 1 2
2 2 2 2 2 3 3
3 3 3 3 4 4 4
4 4 4 5 5 5 5
5 5 6 6 6 6 6
6 7 7 7 7 7 7

In this example, the Lotto player has an edge, where as he/she is playing with seven numbers and if 6 of the 7 numbers possible numbers, one ticket will hold FIRST PRIZE JACKPOT!

There are lots of wheels to choose from within you budget, or you can form office pools to increase your odds of winning FIRST PRIZE.

Two choices - Full Wheeling System or Abbreviated Wheeling System.

  • Full Wheeling System - A full wheeling system generates all possible combinations of numbers from a defined pool of numbers. This method can be very costly.
  • Abbreviated Wheeling System - An abbreviated wheeling system generated only some of the possible combinations of numbers from a pool of play numbers. Consider having ten numbers to play with. There are 210 different ways of generating six-number sets from the ten numbers. An abbreviated wheeling system would not recommend all the 210 games, but would suggest a smaller number of games to play that would guarantee a least small game prize. This is the most recommended method to play, which in fact is far less costly.

What's a "Win Guarantee?" - This guarantee states that if you have the proper amount of winning numbers in your wheel, you win at a minimum the prize offered in the wheel's win guarantee. An example would be a 10 number abbreviated wheel with a win guarantee of 4 of 6 which requires you to have 4 winning numbers from the 10 number abbreviated wheel systems. This does not mean that you would not win the jackpot using this system. This all depends on how many numbers you match the 10 numbers you have selected. Which all so means, even if you have all 10 numbers you could still not win the full jackpot because of the abbreviated wheel system?

Caution:  We strongly urge you not to modify the wheeling system unless you really have knowledge of how it works. Using a defective system would result in certain combinations missing out, thus making the accompanying win guarantee useless.

Wheeling Numbers:

From the Wheeling's tab option from the main display window is the option to choose Full Wheel system or Abbreviated Wheel system. Once you generate your wheeling numbers you can also do a history search on those numbers to see if they have come up in past draws by clicking on the History tab.

Selecting Numbers:

  • From the Options box select type of Wheeling system you are going to use Full Wheel System or Abbreviated Wheel System.
  • For Full Wheel System the selection of dropdown box is disabled.
  • From the left selection click on the number of numbers you would want to use for your Full Wheel System. The maximum selection is 20.
  • For Abbreviated Wheel System you must select a pre designed wheel system from the dropdown box.
  • From the left selection click on the number of numbers you would want to use for your Abbreviated Wheel System.
  • From the Select a Abbreviated Wheel dropdown box you must select the type of wheel system you are going to use according to budget. This list depends on the number of numbers you would want to use for your wheel system from the number dropdown list box. The maximum selection is 20.
  • Select the numbers until all the balls are filled in. You can change this by clicking on the ball then hit the Delete key or unselecting the number from the selection pad.
  • Click on the Wheel button, your numbers for the wheel you chose would be generated below.
  • Click on the Filter, to apply to your numbers for the wheel you chose for Quick Pick numbers. See Filtering for more detailed information. Filtering


    Selection Pad:

    Yellow - Previous drawn hit.
    Green - Current drawn hit.
    Red
    - Indicates the number is hot according to the Hot Factor Cutoff point selected from the Static's tab.

  • Click the number of quick picks you wish to play from the dropdown list.
  • Click the Quick Pick button to produce the quick picks. You can view from the list below.
  • Click Clear button to clear the selection box listed below.
  • Click on the Wheeling, if you wish to enable options.

SET FILTER
How to apply a filter:

  • Click on View and select View Filter Settings from the Toolbar
  • Select numbers from different areas
  • Click on SAVE once Numbers remaining is 0 (zero)
  • Click on the Wheel tab and select Quick Pick or Wheel and click on Apply filter

To apply the filter, select what range or trend of numbers by clicking on the arrow buttons Up/Down. You will notice on the top heading "Numbers remaining", that shows how many numbers remaining for your selection. i.e. Let's take the example below. It shows that the total numbers selected for our Wheel is 6. Select some numbers from different areas until the Numbers remaining is 0 (zero). Save your selection and select Quick Pick/Wheel Button.

Important: If you change your Wheeling Quick Pick/Quick Pick quantities you must reselect your filter if you wish to apply the filter against it.

PRINTING
Due to many types of printers, the result may be different when it comes to printing tickets. Not all of the bin options are available on every printer. The effect of the properties of the Printer object depends on the driver supplied by the printer manufacturer. The settings may have no effect or may or may not produce an error. For more information, see the manufacturer's documentation for the specific driver. For best results, your printer must have an adjustable manual feeder for the Lotto ticket sheets which is obtained at any of your lucky Lottery outlets. Positioning the lotto ticket for example on a HP LaserJet 5si printer the Lotto ticket sheet should be facing up with the arrow towards you.

BIO-RHYTHM
History:

Modern biorhythm studies are primarily based on cycles noted by two researchers in Europe at the close of 19th century and birth of the 20th century. Between 1897 and 1902 Dr. Hermann Swoboda, a professor of Psychology at the University of Vienna, recorded the occurrence of periodicity in fevers, pain and swelling in tissues, heart attacks, patients' recovery times and several other indicators. He discovered basic rhythms common to all including the 23 day Physical Cycle and the 28 day Emotional Cycle.

Dr. Wilhelm Flies, a practicing physician in Berlin, was also recording periodic cycles among his patients and finding the same two rhythms that Dr. Swoboda had noted. Neither of these gentlemen was aware of the other's research until some years later when their findings were published.

In the following years other researchers in Europe and the United States confirmed the validity of the 23 day Physical Cycle and the 28 day Emotional Cycle. Two additional cycles have been also been discovered and studied. These are the 33 day Intellectual Cycle and the 38 day Intuitional Cycle.

These four cycles; Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Intuitional; are considered the Standard or Traditional Cycles. Another group of four cycles termed the Extended or Esoteric Cycles are based on even earlier works including the Vedantic records of India and the I Ching of China. These include the 43 day Aesthetic Cycle, the 38 day Compassion Cycle (note the congruency with the 38 day Intuition Cycle), the 48 day Awareness Cycle and the 53 day Spiritual Cycle.

What is Bio-rhythm?

A biorhythm is based on the idea that certain aspects of your life move in cycles. These being your Physical, Emotional, Intellectual, and Intuitive well being. The cycle is based on a sine wave, each starting at 0 on the day of your birth. Each of the different aspects cycles at a different rate.

Physical cycles
once every 23 days - Your vital forces are peaking when you are in the positive and LOW when you are drained of energy and vitality.

Emotional cycles once every 28 days - Your emotional forces are at their best when you are in the positive. Your love life, friendships, moods and happiness will be at heir high points. Your lack of emotional energy will slow your reflexes, you'll neglect your love life and friendships as well as anything concerning feelings when you are at you LOW state

Intellectual cycles once every 33 days - Your mind will be alert, you'll find easy to make good decisions, and you'll think creatively in all areas when you are at your positive state. When you are getting at your LOWS, you'll forget things, and make all kinds of mistakes, etc. Be careful what you do during this period. You find yourself hard to concentrate, study, or absorb difficult information. You'll have to make a major effort to perform routine intellectual tasks.

Intuitive cycles once every 38 days - Your intuition level is it's best at high levels, your mind is alert with all your surroundings making good decisions. You see things be as if it was to happen. Avoid planning your day when your levels are low.

Where you are in your biorhythm cycles is expressed as a percentage from -100% to 100%. If you're in the negatives it's not good, obviously.

Bio-Chart Display:

Your Bio-Chart display shows your Bio-rhythm level. Above the display are selectors for generating either Traditional or Extended charts. Below the display is a legend showing the chart color used to plot a cycle. The relative value of each cycle on the selected Report Date is determined by the markers on the central vertical line. The width of the chart corresponds to 30 days with the central vertical line indicating the Report Date. The central horizontal line shows the baseline of each curve. Active or Positive values are plotted above the baseline and Passive or Negative values are plotted below the baseline.
