INTRODUCTION
You now have a copy of the newest version of the Lotto Prophecy series.
The Lotto Prophecy series has been in development and testing for over two
years. Created and tested in California using the lotto 6/49+Bonus. Which the
odds of predicting the winning numbers equals 1:13,983,816. The system has
proved itself time and time again, in one of the hardest lotteries to predict
winning numbers. If it can work in a 6/49+Bonus lotto, it should work very
well in lotteries with lower odds.
Lotto Prophecy, written in Dbase, and compiled with Clipper. What does
this mean to you? First, Dbase is one of the best in keeping track of large
database files. Also using the power of Dbase is one of the best ways to
predict trends.
There are two complete and different prediction systems. Method #1 uses
REPEAT RATIO, PERCENTAGE, AVERAGE, FREQUENCY ANALYSIS, PAIRS, TRIPLES and
LONG SHOT. Method #2 employ numbers from PREVIOUS GAMES, using variable game
blocks from 3 through 5 games. The two different methods can be used with any
pick-6 lotto game with or without bonus or substitute number.
Also there is a complete wheeling system (Wheeling systems are
scientific, mathematical tools). The wheeling system allows you to choose a
large group of numbers in any lotto game (from Lotto Prophecy, or your own).
Then play a special set of combinations of those numbers and get a minimum
win guarantee. Lotto Prophecy can wheel from 8 through 29 numbers.

PREDICTION METHODS
Method #1
How often have you wondered when the last drawing winners were going to
hit again in the next game? REPEAT RATIO will make this decision for you. The
average Repeat Ratio is 1:6. This means that for every six single hits a
number has, it will have one double hit (two wins in a row). According to the
database, a number with a Repeat Ratio of 1:5, or lower, has the best
probability of winning two in a row.
PERCENTAGE is a prediction method based on the mathematical probability
on the percentage of times a number has hit. Usually a number that has hit
between 13 through 20 percent has the highest probability of consistently
winning.
AVERAGING and FREQUENCY Analysis is two types of number analysis using
total winners, and total games played. Using this type of examination a
pattern of winning often can be plotted.
Any predicted numbers (using any of the other prediction methods), also
bring other numbers into the prediction field using PERCENTAGE on PAIRS.
How does PERCENTAGE on PAIRS work? If number 5 comes up into the
prediction field, and Percentage on Pairs equals 15%. Lotto Prophecy will
check the number before and after the predicted number, 4, and 6. If either 4
or 6 has some hits with number 5 of 15% or more. Those numbers will be added
to the prediction field.
TRIPLES operate much in the same way as does PAIRS. For example, If
number 10 comes into the prediction field, and Percentage on TRIPLES equals
5%. Lotto Prophecy will check the number before and after the predicted
number, 8, 9 and 11, 12. If either 8, 9 or 11, 12 has some hits with number
10 of 5% or more. Those numbers will be added to the prediction field.
LONG SHOT was design to fill a wheel after a prediction run. For
example, you did a prediction run to pick 28 numbers. After the prediction
run, you find Lotto Prophecy picks only 20 numbers or so. You now have the
option to fill the rest of the wheel with numbers that have longest odds of
being picked.
Method #2
Using PREVIOUS GAMES, a very popular one for selecting lotto numbers.
What Lotto Prophecy does is instead of using single numbers for predictions,
it uses blocks of games. Lotto Prophecy employs variable game blocks. The
size of the game blocks can be from 3 through 5 games. The theory is that a
large percentage of winning numbers do, come from a catalog of recently drawn
numbers.
For example, if the game block size equals 5 games, the database file
has 100 games in it. You have chosen Previous Games 1-5, the program will use
lotto games #99, #98, #97, #96, #95. Filter out any duplicate numbers, and
wheel the remaining numbers. This remains true for through out the Previous
Games options, the only difference is the counting back from the end of the
database file.
You have several options when using this portion of the prediction
system. AUTO SELECTION designed to scan your database and pick the top five
Previous Games for you (250 scan limit). MANUAL SELECTION can pick Previous
Games by entering a game number (unlimited).

COMPUWHEEL WHEEL SYSTEMS
What is ComPuWheels?
ComPuWheels are computer generated wheels systems. Also, ComPuWheels
perfectly balanced, and ComPuWheels always brings in the prize guarantee.
I always had the desire designing my own wheel systems using my
computer. After months of work, I discovered the secret, and then wrote a
program to develop ComPuWheels. Being I live in California, the first wheel
was a 49 number wheel. After the wheels were developed, I then wrote a
program to test the 49 number wheel. By checking the past winning games of
the California Lotto with the wheel to see what the results would be.If
someone would have used the 49 number wheel on 3-28-87, they would have had a
5 number plus bonus number winner. This paid out over 1.1 million dollars.
There were also many 5 winners, 4 winners, and hundreds of 3 winners during
the testing of the 49 number wheel using the California database.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- IBM PC, XT, AT and 100% IBM PC compatibles
- MS-DOS OR PC-DOS version 2.0 or later operating system
- 640k bytes of RAM (approx, 512k bytes free)
- One floppy drive, or hard-disk. Lotto Prophecy also needs
100 bytes of disk space during execution.
- A monochrome or color monitor with 80 column display.
- Printer is optional. All predictions, and wheels output to either
screen, printer, or file.
Installing
Lotto Prophecy is very easy to install. The first time Lotto Prophecy
executes, you will define your monitor type, color or mono. Then a directory
of all database files are shown. Enter the name of the database you like to
use, or press ENTER for the default. The default file (Lotto.dbf) is the
California database, but this can be any database you like.
Every time you exit Lotto Prophecy, the program will leave a file on you
disk called pick30.sys. This file is a memory dump of all the variables used
during execution, and the last database file used. The next time Lotto
Prophecy is executed, the program will remember all program variables,
database file, and monitor type.
If you like to install Lotto Prophecy for a different monitor type,
erase the file pick30.sys and execute Lotto Prophecy.

TUTORIAL
Lotto Prophecy uses windows and menus to drive the program. All menus
can accept either letters as input, or by moving a menu highlight bar. Using
the escape key can move the program back to the previous menu, or to dos from
the main menu. All inputs into the program being data, options, defaults is
also highlighted.
Before getting started you must have or get the winning numbers for your
lotto. If you can, get all the winning numbers for your lotto since the
beginning of your lotto. The more data you have, the more accurate Lotto
Prophecy will predict. Contact your local lotto office for more details about
getting the winning numbers.
The first time you execute Lotto Prophecy, it will load the California
database (lotto.dbf). If you would like to create a new file, use the option
from the main menu (CREATE new database file). Note: you must add at least
one game to the new data file for the program to continue. After the file
creation, you are put into the ADD new game records option of the main menu.
From there you can add as many games as you would like.
Lotto Prophecy uses a higher speed input system. For example, you are
adding lotto numbers to your data file. You have entered the number six, the
highlighted area expects a two digit number. Thus, you would need to push the
enter key to move to the next highlight area. Or, you could enter a zero and
then the number six. This will move the cursor to the next highlight area.
Using this method on single digits numbers, or characters, can speed-up
inputting data. This method holds true throughout Lotto Prophecy. You only
need to push the enter key if the highlight area isn't fulfilled.

1 MAIN MENU FEATURES
1.1 ADD new game records
Adds new lotto game numbers to the current lotto data file. Input the
date of the game, then the numbers, up to seven. This can be six numbers
plus a bonus or alternate number. If you don't use all the number inputs, you
can leave them blank.
After you have entered you numbers, Lotto Prophecy uses an Auto Scan
feature looking for Wheel Files. If it finds any Wheel Files, all winning
games in each file will be display.
1.2 ANALYZE database numbers
Before you can start doing any analyzing, you must specify the game
range to scan. Lotto Prophecy will show the game range that you can choose
from. You can scan anywhere within the game range. All analyzing totals will
be from the game range chosen.
You are given a choice to enter a number from 1 through the high number
of your lotto game. Or, you can enter the letter A, to scan all the lotto
numbers. With the letter A option, you also can printout all data for the
lotto numbers.
1.3 CHANGE database file
If you are using multiple lotto data files, you can use this option to
change to other files. A list of all data files on the program root directory
is displayed. You can type in the file name of choice, or push enter, for the
default file. It's recommended that all data files be retained in the program
root directory.
1.4 CREATE new database file
You must add at least one game to a new data file for Lotto Prophecy to
continue. You also have to input the highest number your lotto plays. For
example, in California, the lotto game is a 6/49. This means that the game
plays with six numbers, with the highest number being 49. Incorrect input of
this number could cause Lotto Prophecy not to scan to the proper number.
After the file creation, you are put into the ADD new game records
option of the main menu. From here you can add as many games as you would
like.
1.5 EDIT game records
The worse thing that can happen is to input the wrong winning numbers.
If after inputting data, you discover an error. You input the game number
(record number) that has an error. You then will see a display of that game
on the screen with all data contained in that game. Using the arrow keys, you
can edit the entire game record. When done, using the key F10 will save the
game record.

1.6 PRINT existing game records
If you have a printer, you can printout all the games in the current
database. Anytime during the printout, pushing the ESCape key will abort this
function.
1.7 VIEW existing game records
This is basically the same as print existing games. Except the output is
to the screen, not the printer. Also using the ESCape key, will abort this
function.

2 PREDICTION MENU
2.1 Prediction Method #1
This method is the most powerful, and has more options to predict
numbers. Number analysis in Method #1 can be user adjusted.
The first thing you may want to do, decide how many numbers you are
going to play. You can do this by going to the ComPuWheels Menu and picking
out how many numbers and total plays you are going to predict. After you have
decided how many numbers you are going to play, you are ready to do some
predictions.
Before you can start doing any predictions, you must specify the game
range to scan. Lotto Prophecy will show the game range that you can choose
from. You can scan anywhere within the game range.
Now, lets predict some winning lotto numbers. Start doing prediction
runs using the default settings in Lotto Prophecy.
Enter the Min. and Max. Game for this scan, from 1 - ????
Enter # for spread on Predictions, default (2)
Enter # for Repeat Ratio, default (5)
Enter # for Percentage on Predictions, default (18%)
Enter # for Percentage on Pairs, default (15%)
Enter # for Percentage on Triples, default (5%)
To answer any questions about SPREAD on PREDICTIONS, This is a setting
to adjust the spread on when a number will hit on a game. For example, if
spread equals zero, only numbers that hit exactly on the predicted game will
be put into the prediction field. If spread equals 1, numbers selected to hit
on the predicted game, and numbers that hit plus or minus one game will be
put into the prediction field.
Also if spread equals 2, numbers selected to hit on the predicted game,
and numbers that hit plus or minus two games, will be put into the prediction
field.
For the first few prediction runs, leave PERCENTAGE on PAIRS, and
PERCENTAGE on TRIPLES set at its defaults. I found the defaults setting to
work very well for prediction processing. Setting PERCENTAGE on PAIRS, or
PERCENTAGE on TRIPLES higher, will bring fewer numbers into the prediction
field.
ONLY predicted numbers will do PERCENTAGE on PAIRS, or PERCENTAGE on
TRIPLES processing. PERCENTAGE on PAIRS, or PERCENTAGE on TRIPLES predicted
number will not do PERCENTAGE on PAIRS, or PERCENTAGE on TRIPLES processing.
The cliche, do prediction runs, and try to get your total picks around
about three quarters of your total numbers that you decided to play. The
easiest way to do this is by changing the setting on PERCENTAGE (higher,
fewer numbers, lower, more numbers). Then fill the rest of the prediction
field with LONG SHOTS.
Also, if you notice that Lotto Prophecy starts counting backwards, this
is normal.

2.2 Prediction Method #2
Before you start using Method #2, check, or set, the scan size of game
blocks. This can be done from the Method #2 main menu. The game block size
can be set from 3 through 5 games. In the examples below, Previous Game block
size equals 5 games.
AUTO SELECTION will scan your database and pick the top five Previous
Games for you. To start, you enter a starting game number, lets say a 1. Then
you enter a 100 for the ending game number. The scan would be from Previous
Games 1-5 through Previous Games 96-100 (game block size set at 5 games). You
can scan the database from any starting game, through any ending game. AUTO
SELECTION can decide the beginning and ending games to scan for you. Just use
the defaults that Lotto Prophecy picks for you.
If you have a 200 game database, and you scan from Previous Games 1-5
through Previous Games 96-100. The scan would be for a total of 100 games for
all computations. Or, if the scan was from Previous Games 1-5 through
Previous Games 46-50, the scan and computations would cover 150 games.
Smaller scans, equals, higher totals, and higher averages.
There are some limits. First, MAXIMUM scan size limited to 250 Games
from starting to ending games. Also the larger the scan (from start to end),
the total winners, and average winners may be lower (unless you have a very
large database).
Using AUTO SELECTION can take some time to complete. Depending on the
size of the database, it could take more then 30 minutes. A disk cache, or
Ramdisk can increase speed.
After the auto scan you then have a choice to wheel part of, or all five
Previous Games if you like. During the auto scan you can see the data
calculate, and the top five Previous games sort.
2.2.1 Manual Selection of Previous Games
The second half of Previous Games is the MANUAL SELECTION. You can pull
games in from the end of the database, or the beginning. It doesn't matter,
pick a game number, and Lotto Prophecy will pull in games from there.
2.2.2 Change Previous Game Block Size
The default size of the game blocks is 5 games. The minimum size is
3 games (up to 21 numbers), to a maximum of 5 games (up to 35 numbers). If
you use this option to change the game block size, pick this option from
the Method #2 main menu. You then can enter a number from 3 through 5.

2.3 ComPuWheels Menu
If you like to wheel your own numbers, here's where you can do this. You
can wheel from 8 to 29 numbers. See the ComPuWheel Systems section for the
win guarantees. You have also a choice to send output to the screen, to
printer, or file. This section also uses the higher speed input method (see
tutorial).
2.4 Wheel Files, Auto Scan for Winning Games
Anywhere you have access to the wheels (Method #1, Method #2, Wheels
Menu), you can save your wheels to a file. After the Lotto numbers are drawn,
you can SCAN the Wheel Files for winning games.
As you finish a Prediction run, or after inputting numbers into a wheel
at the wheeling menu. You are given a choice for your output (Screen,
Printer, File). If an "F" for file output is entered. Lotto Prophecy will
show a directory display of all files with the file extension DBF (*.DBF).
Lotto Prophecy will then prompt you for a filename using the file
extension DBF. If you don't enter a file extension, the file extension DBF
will be added for you.
There are two places you can Auto Scan for Winning games in Lotto
Prophecy. From ADD New Game Records (from main menu), or from Auto Scan Wheel
Files (from prediction menu).
When you enter the winning numbers (in ADD New Game Records), Lotto
Prophecy uses an Auto Scan feature looking for Wheel Files with the file
extension DBF. If it finds any Wheel Files, all winning games in each file
will be display.
In the Auto Scan Wheel Files section, if no wheel files are found using
Auto Scan, Lotto Prophecy will prompt you for a filename. Then scan that file
for winning games and display them.
2.5 ComBine ComPuWheel Files
This section of the program is designed to read all Lotto Prophecy
ComPuWheel files. ComBine and convert the ComPuWheel files, and save them
into a Lotto Prophecy database file. You then can load this new database
(into Lotto Prophecy), and do Predictions on your Predictions. Or, whatever
else you like Lotto Prophecy to do with this new and unique database file.
You can do predictions on your predictions to as many levels as you
like. For example, do some predictions on your regular lotto database and
save them into ComPuWheel files. Execute ComBine, to convert your ComPuWheel
files to a Lotto Prophecy database file. Then do some more predictions on
your new database. Execute ComBine again to build even a bigger database
file.
