How to import a wheel

Problem: I have a wheel in text file and I want to use it in Expert Lotto.

  1. The file must have .csv or.txt file extension to be recognized by the application, for example wheel.txt or NY_Lotto_Sunday.csv
  2. Make sure the file has the supported format. It means that each ticket is on a separate line of text and that there is a separator character between ticket numbers. For example
    1,2,3,4,5,6
    11,12,13,14,15,16
    21,22,23,24,25,26


    or

    1 2 3 4 5 6
    11 12 13 14 15 16
    21 22 23 24 25 26


    Note: The application does not read files without separators, such as:
    010203040506
    111213141516
    212223242526

  3. Click menu Package and select File:
  4. A default window for file browsing will open. Select CSV or Text Files in option Files of Type:


  5. Browse the wheel file you want to open in Expert Lotto.
  6. Make sure you have selected the correct file when window Insert File opens. Then select Overwrite in Action option and click Ok button.
  7. Program will read all tickets from the wheel and insert them into the package, where you can process them further. The original wheel file will remain unchanged.

Note: You will get an error message if there are any errors in wheel's file format.
