Question how do i lotto?

[ihavewon]

Hello there, i`m a newbie and i`m using vb 8 express.I have some ideas about
creating a lotto software program that i may or maynot want to sell in the future.i was wondering if there are any kind people out there who have knowledge in creating 'filters and the like' who would be willing to share some of there knowledge with me as i would be willing to share in return some of the very powerful techniques i have discovered which have helped me to win some sizable loads over the years.My question for today is ,does anybody
know how to create a full lotto number set-my lotto being 6 from 45=around
8100000 combinations ,then to store those combinations on a form which will be used to filter through the filters.I`m fairly sure this needs a lot of code to create for what i need so i would be eternally greatful to anybody that can help.

Perhaps im misunderstanding but why do you have to store each and every available combination that can occur?

I would suggest a simple loop running for each ball and an randomize function that returns the tossed value for the ball.

g`day tom

thanks for a quick reply,question -are you familiar with lotto software?
goto anastasios-tampakis.net and check out his awesome program called
lotto architect -this is the kind of program i want to develop -then you will understand why i need to store the combinations.

Its not something I want to download & try (or even interested to do so) but I did take a quick glance at the screen shots.

I still see no reason what-so-ever that every single combination must be stored. In fact creating 8 million records that constantly need to be sorted through & filtered will be slow and take up more resources then needed. In the end you still have to select a random number....

Using a 100 ball game as example, you can run through a simple loop 100 times and randomize a pick from 0 to 9 or whatever number range you designate.

I did do something very small based on the lottery many years ago just for a project example in VB6. It connected to some lotto site that held the winning results for the past XX amount of years. It would download the winning results per state/per game and then display some simple reports such as most picked number, least picked, recently picked etc in different time ranges. No need to keep my own database and results didnt need to keep being updated (by me at least).

Hello again tom

ok i guess in the end your not going to be much help -fair enough these days it very hard to get something for free-i guess i`ll have to do it the hard way,sign up for some serious vb.net study so i can do what i need too.
By the way you believe the lottery is random?The things i`ve discovered using lotto architect and these are secret techniques i`ve discovered myself prove with out a doubt that -at least my lotto is not completely random,and these techniques are not your bull**** hot or cold this involves mathmatics
and probability and it can only be done with this program. Have you heard of error correction this is another method which you can use to filter down your tickets with great accuracy.If i could create a program to contain everything i know of i could expect a jackpot win at least once a year but alot of smaller winning in that period.
