Glossary
- Package - denotes the part of application
where you store the tickets you are currently working with. The Package
is shown in Package and Visual
Package pages. You can add tickets to the package manually in the
Package page or using the Ticket
Generator or you can load into the package a saved ticket file.
- Ticket - usually an ordered set of number
for a single bet in your lottery. Some lotteries allow to place a bet
with fixed count of numbers only. Some lotteries allow to place a bet
with variable count of numbers (e.g. in Keno-type lotteries you
can choose 1 to 10 numbers for a single bet).
- Ticket file - you can save tickets in the
package to a file, which you can reuse later on, e.g. to check your winnings,
print on playslips, find match with other tickets in the package etc.
- Filter - is a simple yes/no condition you
can apply to tickets. A ticket can either pass or fail this condition
depending on your settings of the filter. An example of a filter is a
requirement for the ratio of odd and even numbers in a ticket, for instance
the ticket must have the same count of odd numbers as the count of even
numbers. You can reduce the number of tickets in the package by using
filters thus decreasing the cost
of bet and improving your chances to win.
- Panel - is a grid of drawn numbers as they
appear on lottery's official playslip. The application uses panel
to display and enter ticket numbers.
- Playslip - (or bet slip) is used to mark
the numbers you wish to bet. It's usually done by crossing or markings
number in grids on the playslip. You can also use the Playslip
Printing feature and let Expert Lotto to fill the playslips for you.
Playslips are available at lottery's outlet or retailer.
- Winning numbers - with Expert Lotto you
can track all previously drawn winning numbers. The statistics and analysis
of historical winning numbers is an important tool for your number selection.
You can update the winning numbers database either manually or you can
use application modules for online winning numbers update.
- Draw date - each set of drawn winning numbers
(winning numbers ticket) is identified by the calendar date which the
numbers were drawn on. The date consists either of the week of the year
and the year or a regular calendar date (day/month/year).
- Draw day - if the lottery draws winning
numbers several times a week then the draw date also includes the name
of the day (e.g. Wednesday or Saturday).
- Draw name - some lotteries draw two or
more sets of winning numbers in a single draw day. The draw date then
includes the name of the draw (e.g. 1st Draw and 2nd Draw or Lotto and
Lotto Plus).
- Demo lotteries - Expert Lotto 6/49,
Expert Lotto Keno and Expert Lotto PowerBall are demo lotteries
only, you cannot bet on these lotteries anywhere in the world. They only
demonstrate Expert Lotto features and we also used them as examples in
the application help pages.
