Edit Winning Numbers

Menu: Winning Numbers Edit

Allows to edit winning numbers database. You can also switch the skip flag on and off for selected draw dates or search for particular numbers.

Controls Description

Usage

You can use this function to fix potential errors made when adding winning numbers manually. Using this function you can temporarily return the database into the state before the last winning numbers draw. It is especially useful when comparing your estimates in the Winning Numbers History page with the real data. See below.

Example:
Select Expert Lotto 6/49 lottery, switch to the Winning Numbers page and display all winning numbers. Write down the numbers for the latest draw. Then choose menu Winning Numbers Edit and flag the first draw in the list (the latest draw) as hidden in the Hide column. Now switch to the WN History page and choose Update button. Enter ticket numbers into edit fields at the bottom of the page. Now you can compare your original estimate in the History Differences page with the real data. The table highlights the numbers entered into the edit fields with a thick black border.

Attention: Make sure that the Draw Simulation button is not pressed down. Otherwise the values in the table would have been recalculated as if the numbers of the hidden draw were actually drawn.
After clicking Draw Simulation button you can compare other functions, e.g. History Chart, Summary Table.

Note: Do not forget to return back to the Winning Numbers Edit, choose the Show hidden entries option and cancel the Hide flag of the first two entries. This will restore the winning numbers database to its original state.

Note: Both flags - Hide and Skip - can be used to temporarily remove one or more draws from the winning numbers database. However we recommend using Skip flag to hide draw dates which no numbers were drawn at. And use Hide flag to temporarily remove the latest draw from your database to back-test your estimates. When this flag is on then it is indicated with a star sign in all panels for the selection of winning numbers. This way you can be sure that your estimates for the next draw will not be based on incorrect data.
