Winning Numbers Online Update

For some lotteries Expert Lotto provides built-in support for updating winning numbers online directly from lottery web site. Click menu Winning Numbers - Online Update to start Winning Numbers Online Update wizard. Internet connection is required to use this feature.

The first wizard screen lists online sources that match the settings of the current lottery - number pool size, draw schedule etc. The table shows the name of the lottery and the name of the country the lottery is being played in. If your lottery isn't listed in the table you cannot update winning numbers online and you must either add past draws manually or use Winning Numbers Import wizard.

 You may email a request for a new online source to Expert Lotto development team by clicking button 

Select the online source of past draws in the table and click button Next to continue. The wizard will connect to the lottery web site and download all available past draws. At the bottom of the wizard window you can see the download progress and the count of draws downloaded so far.

The next wizard window shows table of draws that were successfully downloaded. Use option Add new draws only to add only draws missing in your winning numbers database. Use option Also replace existing draws to add new draws and also overwrite draws which already exist in your winning numbers database. There's a message at the bottom of this window showing how many draws will be added/modified in either case.

Option Include out-of-schedule draws allows adding draws with out-of-schedule draw date. Such draws are displayed in red color in the table.

 Select any draws in the table and press Delete key to remove them from the table. The removed draws will not be added to winning numbers database.

Click button Finish to complete the update process and save the winning numbers database with new/modified draws to disk.

Note: The online update may fail for various reasons - there's no internet connection, the lottery web server doesn't respond, the web page with past draws has moved to a different location or the format of winning numbers archive on the lottery server has changed. You can send an email notification to Expert Lotto development team that the selected online source of past draws is broken. Click button to open a new email window and describe in details the problem you're having with the selected online source.
