Win the Lottery with DOS

that I wrote called Lotto Dowat that is written in Quick Basic that is
available for download at my Web site
http://www.scottolsen.web.officelive.com/
This program as far as I know is the first of it's kind to actually try to
mathematically figure out what the next Lotto number is going to be. It
seems that someone should have already thought of it but I couldn't find
anyone who did so I wrote my own. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you win.

There should be no way to predict a truely random event, which is what
a lotto drawing is supposed to be.

poor as a pig! Let us
know if that works, anybody. I have created Excel spreadsheets with
complicated macro
routines, used Pascal, VB, even some assembly for trying this, but
(surprisingly), nothing I
do ever seems to work. Wonder what the heck is up with that?

The following BASIC program guarantees that you will come out ahead on
any lottery. The great thing is that the less money the lottery pays
back to the punters, the more you will come out ahead! In theory
maximum profit occurs when the lottery has no prizes but even if the
lottery pays out every penny that the punters put in, you will still
make more money than the average punter.

The good news about the above code is that it works exactly as
advertised when followed rigidly. The bad news about the above code
is that hardly anybody wants to try it, despite the fact that you are
guaranteed to get more money than you paid in.

Hmmm, line numbering's a bit off but you get the general idea...
