Lottery Mark 2

[GWS]

Sorry folks,

There's something a wee bit wrong with the updated version of my lottery program.
There's a bug in it somewhere which affects the data storage.

It might take a while to sort it out .. 

back in a while ..

Phew .. I think I've sorted it out .. 

Often happens when you hack code about, you get unintended effects.

Anyway, I think I've sorted it out now - let me know if any other problems show up.

It's just finished in time for a go on the lottery this weekend .. 

I've updated the past results data to include the most recent 20 weeks for the UK lottery.

best wishes,

Graham

So is this the version that always picks the winner?  Because the I bought a ticket with the results of the last version, and I didn't win.

The program you want for that is this...

(Probably the silliest bit of programming I've ever done, but the most shareware/freeware downloads of all my feeble offerings!)

Hi guys,

I think it's impossible to predict. 

For the past two weeks balls 4,5 and 6 have all been higher than 40 - that doesn't seem very random to me.  Balls 1,2 and 3 predictions weren't too bad though 

There's big money involved, so I wouldn't be surprised to find somebody has found a way to fix the results.

Same thing with my roulette program .. it worked for a while.  Then they took the site down for 'maintenance', and it's never worked since.  I've done a bit of reading on the net, and some folk reckon the on-line computers can react to whoever is playing any particular game, and generate results that maximise their take.  You certainly get some very peculiar results - multiple occurrences of numbers, long runs of the same colour etc.  Everyone recommends steering clear of on-line roulette.

I shall have another go with the lottery this weekend though - you never know ..

Best wishes

Graham
