Winning
Numbers Selection
These
controls appear in several application screens. They serve for selection
of tickets from the winning numbers database. The panel layout depends
on currently selected lottery.
Note: A star sign - *
- at the bottom of the selection panel indicates that one or more draws
are hidden in the winning
numbers database.
Panel
contains several tabs for selection of winning numbers according to different
parameters.
-
All Draws - selects all draws from the winning numbers database for
the chosen draw day and draw name options.
Some lotteries draw winning numbers several times a week (e.g. Wednesdays
and Saturdays). Some lotteries draw multiple sets of winning numbers in
a single draw day (e.g. 1st Wed and 2nd Wed). You can select a subset
of winning numbers tickets by checking any of these options. The count
of selected tickets is shown at the bottom of the panel.
-
Latest - enter the number of latest draws to be selected from the
winning numbers database. For example Latest 120 means the current
latest draw and 119 draws made before the latest one.
-
Oldest - selects the oldest records from the database. For example
Oldest 10 means the very first 10 draws that were made in the
lottery history.
-
Date Range - enter range of draw dates using the format
of currently selected lottery. Red message at panel's bottom indicates
Invalid range selection. Entering the same date into from and to
fields yields winning numbers tickets from the selected date only.
- Custom selection - this
option allows to choose a non-continous selection pattern of winning numbers
draws. When you start Expert Lotto for the first time there are no pattern
available. The combo box contains <New selection> item
only which you can use to create a new pattern. Click Edit button
to open window displaying all draws in winning numbers database. Tick
the check boxes in Select column of the draws you wish include
in the pattern. The count of selected tickets is not limited so you can
choose any pattern (continuous/scattered). Enter unique name into Name
field to show at the Custom selection tab when selecting winning
numbers. Click the Save button.
You can edit existing patterns by clicking Edit button. If
you wish remove selected pattern, click button Remove.
