Why isn't
the Mega Millions game up-to-date when I download
the latest results?
On June 22nd, the Mega Millions game
changed to pick 5 numbers from a field of 56 numbers
and a Mega Ball from a field of 46 numbers.
You should download the
latest version of Lotto Pro 2008.
In order to maintain statistical accuracy,
it was necessary to start a new drawing file, with
the first drawing date being June 24, 2005.

the best way to get started?
The fastest way to
learn the basics is to select QuickStart in
the Lotto Pro Help menu.

My country's lotto game(s)
are not included in Lotto Pro . Can I still
use the program?

What happens
if my computer crashes and I lose the program or

How do I edit or print
a ticket file after it has been saved?
You should select
the "Apply Filters to Tickets" option
in the Tickets menu.
I keep getting the message that I need to save a ticket
file before I can apply filters or check for winning
tickets. Why do I get the message when I previously saved
a ticket file?
Lotto Pro expects
your ticket files to be located in the program folder,
which is c:\program
files\windows lotto pro 2000.
The warning message is displayed when no ticket files
exist in the program folder. To avoid this message, you
should save at least one ticket file in the program folder.
If you saved your ticket files in other folders, you
will then be able to access them.
What should I do if
there is no bet slip definition for the game that I
play?
First, check to make
sure that the game is not listed in our bet
slip definition files.
If the game is not
listed, we will create the definition file for you
if you send us 25 to 30 blank bet slips for the game.
You should send the
bet slips to Data Solutions, P.O. Box 1067,
Polk City, FL 33868. There is no charge for the service.
How should the bet slips be inserted
in my printer?
The stack of bet slips
should be inserted vertically into your printer,
with panel A of the bet slips going
into the printer first. Slide the left paper guide
of your printer up against the stack of bet slips
to hold
them in place while printing.
What should I do if my printer only
allows me to insert the bet slips in the center of the
printer?
Select the Bet
Slip Properties menu command in the Edit
menu. Enter a negative value for the Boxes Right Margin.
Keep increasing the negative value until the boxes print
correctly in the center.
What should I do
if the boxes don't print exactly where they should on
the bet slip?
Select the Bet
Slip Properties menu command in the Edit
menu. Change the value of the Boxes Top Margin and/or
Boxes Right Margin by a small amount. Click the Test
button after each change. Repeat the process until
the
slips
print correctly.
When I play
a Pick-3 or Pick-4 game in Lotto Pro, why doesn't
the program give repeating
numbers on the tickets when I play Smart numbers?
If you uncheck one
or more of the numbers picked as Smart numbers, some
of your tickets will have repeating
numbers.
